... right down the lineWe’re with you...
Multi-Process capabilitySuperAgi™ is available in Steam Water Spray and/or full or partial water immersion mode.
In that way, every package/product combination gets the most economic and gentle process.
Innovative water immersion technologySuperAgi™ introduces a number of innovations to water immersion technology that result in superior temperature distribution and significant energy and cooling water savings.
Container flexibilitySuperAgi’s Multi-Process capability gives you the possibility to process all commercially available products and containers in optimum conditions and at lowest possible cost, today and tomorrow…
Reduced footprintBy mounting the process water sprays inside the drum, the space available inside the pressure vessel is optimally used. This results in efficient use of available factory space.
Low utility consumptionThe drastic reduction of the retort vessel diameter for equal product holding capacity results in a drastic reduction of the compressed air consumption per container processed. SuperAgi’s compact design and reduced weight reel ensure efficient use of steam and cooling water. Direct steam injection and indirect cooling over plate heat exchanger further reduce steam and cooling water consumption.
A unique conceptThe patented SuperAgi™ concept offers three unique features:
Innovative drum design: •strength and rigidity with fewer parts.
Process water sprays are mounted inside reel: •efficient use of space and superior temperature distribution.
Multi-process capability: • SWS™ and/or full and partial water immersion.
Broad range of holding capacitiesThe SuperAgi™ accepts the same basket and pallet dimensions as JBT FoodTech’s 1400 mm SWS™ static retorts. Depending on retort model and container type, one SuperAgi™ can process between 0.5 and 3.5 tonnes of product per batch.
The Steam Water Spray (SWS™) processSteam is directly injected in the bottom of the retort for fast and uniform come-up. Water Sprays running over the entire shell length intensely mix steam and air, and create a homogeneous temperature distribution.
Indirect, sterile cooling over a plate heat exchanger saves water, water treatment chemicals and energy.
The (optional) process water pre-heat system ensures consistent process delivery for warm- or hot-filled products.
High quality design and constructionThe use of stainless steel AISI 304 L ensures a long machine life and clean processing environment.
JBT FoodTech SWS™ retorts are standard clad and insulated, and fitted with quality components from reputed suppliers with global service.
Precise temperature and pressure controlHighly sensitive temperature and pressure probes, high quality proportional control valves and PID control loops ensure accurate process control during the entire sterilization cycle.
Micro coolingThe controlled and gentle transition from sterilization to cooling through micro-cooling, avoids thermal shock or uncontrolled pressure drop.
Absolute flow meter and level probeFor maximum product safety, retorts are standard fitted with an absolute flow meter and analogue water level control probe.
Turbo-cool (option)Increased cooling capacity results in reduced cooling time and higher throughput (product dependent).
Consistent process deliveryLOG-TEC® thermal process controls execute a self test and check all field devices and sensors prior to start-up.
Automatic process deviation correctionLOG-TEC® thermal process controls automatically correct retort temperature deviations, without operator intervention.
NumeriCAL® On-Line lethality tracking software (optional) allows process deviation correction on the basis of on-line F0 calculation.
Central host PCLOG-TEC® thermal process controls incorporate a central host PC for easy supervision of the retort installation.
Automated USDA/FDA accepted documentationComputer generated process records by LOG-TEC® meet the HACCP requirements and are unconditionally accepted by FDA and USDA.
Safe record keepingProcess data are stored on the host PC, in encrypted format.
Central process recipe managementProcess recipes are edited and managed on the host PC.
Access controlAccess to the various functions of the system are password protected.
Low and easy maintenanceSuperAgi™ uses the proven, long-life, robust JBT FoodTech designs used on the previous generation of agitating retorts.
Trunnion wheels, drum drive and drum bearing can be adjusted and maintained without removing the drum.
Excellent temperature distributionBy mounting the spray pipes inside the reel, obstructions between process water and food packages are eliminated. Deeper and more process water penetration results in an excellent temperature distribution and reduced process cycle time, also in static mode.
High RPM applicationSuperAgi’s unique spray concept allows operation at high rpm while still achieving excellent temperature distribution.
