Alp RKE-40 retort autoclave

Features:

• Model RKE-40 is a cost-effective semi-automatic retort autoclave series, ideal for small-scale production facilities or facilities looking to test product formulations before market launch. With small batch processing capability, the equipment is particularly suitable for enterprises beginning production and distribution of packaged foods.
• Retort food – A sustainable trend for the future

Against the backdrop of a growing global population alongside the impacts of natural disasters and conflicts, the demand for convenient, long-shelf-life food is increasingly rising. Retort food, with its ability to be stored at room temperature and extended shelf life, has become a preferred choice for consumers.

• To set up a basic production line for retort-packaged foods, you need:

Cooking or raw material processing equipment

Vacuum sealer or pouch packaging equipment

Retort autoclave RKE-40 – handles the sterilization process

Cooling water tank – used for cooling down after the sterilization process (sourced separately)

• Safe sterilization without damaging packaging

Typically, packaged food pouches may swell or burst when using a standard autoclave due to increased internal pouch pressure during heating. RKE-40 completely resolves this issue thanks to its overpressure control system, helping maintain pouch shape stability throughout the entire process.

• Cost-effective – High efficiency

Per batch, the unit can sterilize from 60 to 80 pouches (200 g/pouch). Total daily output reaches up to 300 pouches, meeting pilot production or commercial testing needs.

RKE-40 is an ideal choice to optimize initial investment costs while still ensuring food safety sterilization quality.
