Autoclave for sterilisation

SCHOLZ supplies the food and pet food industry after the acquisition of the well-known manufacturer LUBECA. In these autoclaves for sterilisation or pasteurisation of canned food, glasses, soft packaging or also ready meals, their thermal treatment takes place under counter pressure. As standard, product-loaded baskets or special pallets are placed in the autoclave. Thanks to our experience and the reliable quality of our products, we can give our customers the assurance that their food production will be both efficient and trouble-free, which is primarily due to the excellent heat distribution of our sterilization autoclaves. 

Usual procedures are:

  • Shower-Water-Autoclave
  • Full-Water-Autoclave
  • Steam-Air-Autoclave
  • Spray-Autoclave

     

Precise heat distribution ensures your quality.

We place the highest value on preserving the natural quality of your products. Our autoclaves are specially designed to ensure gentle product sterilization, whether for meat and sausage products, cereals, spices, cheese, vegetables, fish, mushroom substrates or cat food. 

All systems can additionally be equipped with a rotary drum to continuously rotate the loaded feeding baskets during the process. An additional quick closing door enables transit operation in passage. Sliding doors and chain transport systems enable automatic operation of the lines.

Steam is used to heat the units. Water is used for cooling. Heating and cooling is usually done indirectly. The heat exchangers used for this purpose enable energetically favourable condensate recirculation and/or further utilisation of the waste heat. Indirect cooling by means of a cold water pump and/or heating via hot water heaters is not optimal, but still possible.
