What’s Cooking in Sterilizers? Process options with the JBT Hydromatic . ® Basic process In its most basic configuration, a hydrostatic continuous sterilizer consists of four sections or “legs”. The first leg serves as a preheating section, in which a hydrostatic column acts as an inlet lock. The second tower comprises the sterilizing section, where the product is heated to the requisite sterilization temperature with the help of steam. The sterilization temperature is directly related to the pressure of the saturated steam. By varying the pressure, the temperature can be controlled. After...

Overpressure sterilization Much of the new generation of packages are more “sensitive” to process conditions than traditional packages. This is mainly due to the construction of the materials (plastic, very thin metal and sensitive closures).

This means that additional pressure is required during the process. For overpressure sterilization, the JBT Hydromatic applies either a mixture of steam and compressed air (effectively homogenized by a...
