The trend in food processing is to move away from small retort vessels to larger shells to improve efficiency and product safety. Larger vessels imply larger baskets that can't be handled manually. Large baskets are simply too bulky and too heavy for one person to move around.

The need to handle these enormous baskets opens the way for ABRS. 'Automated Batch Retort System' (ABRS) refers to the fully automated integration of all hardware designed for transportation of baskets from loader station to sterilization retorts and from there on to an unload station and pack- aging area. The global handling system can be monitored by a basket/pallet tracking system.

DTS can offer you a complete turn-key solution for the implementation of an automated batch retort system: batch retorts, loader/unloader, basket/pallet transport system, tracking system with central host monitoring.

1. Equipment is designed according to the GMP and FDA requirements.
2. If the cycle is based on the temperature data given by the cold spot location, if all products loaded have the same contamination level, we guarantee the less than 1/1,000,000 containers contamination.
