Horizontal Industrial Autoclaves
AH-1200E
Working principle + service engineer explains (in Russian)
AH-1200E - industrial horizontal autoclaves-sterilizers with bayonet catch, are now produced only from stainless steel. AH-1200E are intended for sterilization of foodstuff in any packing (for conservation) at temperatures up to 145°C under manometric pressure and produced in four standard sizes: 1 , 2 , 3 or 4 containers (baskets).
At the request of the customer, we make baskets with motionless and with a mobile bottom. The mobile bottom is made for a possibility of loading (unloading) of cans in baskets in the semi-automatic mode (see PLZ-1200 loaders and PLR-1200 unloaders) with use of the hydroelevator, which we also produce. We manufacture autoclaves on 4 baskets both deadlock and through passage ones.
A small amount of purified water is filled in the autoclave. Bubbler heated this water vapor is carried out through special injectors, which excludes the appearance of hydraulic shock. During the autoclaving there is a compulsory circulation of water which by means of powerful water distributive system intensively irrigates each packing with a product. For prevention of infringement of integrity of packing during heating and autoclave cooling the compensation of manometric pressure which is supported in an automatic mode is provided.
The whole process is fully automated autoclave. The control system implemented on the basis of panel PC and manages the sterilization process according to performance forms given by technologist. The control system provides the preservation and documentation of the parameters, the output of operational information in graphical form on the monitor. It is possible to control manually.
A distinctive feature of autoclaves AH-1200 is the ability to calculate sterilizing effect in the mode of real time at measurement of temperature of product inside the jars (packaging). This enables the technologist to make adjustments in modes of sterilization during the adjusting and startup procedures and training to the production of new products (or in new packaging).
The process of loading the autoclave is as follows: containers made of stainless steel set on the table transport carts. The product, packaged into appropriate containers - bottles, cans, and other fit by rows in containers through the perforated strip made of high-temperature plastic. Transport truck with the container ride close to the open autoclave, mounted on a rail hub of call in an autoclave and the container with the product from the roll-table of the cart moves to roll-table of the autoclave.
The principle of work of such autoclaves can be seen here.
