The development trend of food processing is from small vessels to large sterilization retorts so as to improve efficiency and product safety and reduce energy consumption. Larger retort requires larger baskets which cannot be handled manually. The higher labor cost also promoted the gradual change from manual operation to automatic processing. Then, automated batch retort system (ABRS) emerged at the right moment, which is defined as fully automated and completely integrated batch sterilization system. ABRS includes one or several retorts, loading and unloading equipment, basket delivery system and control system.
The packaged products are transported to the loading/unloading system, and then automatically stacked in the basket orderly before being delivered to the retorts. The sterilized products are delivered by the basket conveyor to the unloader. Once the products are unloaded, the conveyor line automatically transfers the finished products to downstream equipment for inspection and packaging.
The DTS basket tracking system keeps track of each basket to prevent unsterilized containers from being unloaded and transferred to downstream procedures. This tracking system permits operators to monitor all the baskets through the screen, only few operators are required to operate and supervise multiple sterilization systems.
With the basket tracking system, you are able to:
