Listed below are some of the problems that can occur during the production process of can pasteurising and the solutions that Secomak can offer.

APPLICATION PROBLEM:

The pasteurising process often involves cans being held under hot water drench for long periods of time. These cans often leave the process wet. Large volumes of water are carried away from the pasteurising area into other production areas, by both the cans and the conveyor system.

This causes potential slip hazards and the unnecessary formation of additional cleaning requirements.

A Secomak drying solution for can pasteurising applications is to dry the tops of the canned products at the exit of the pasteurising machine, using a drying system mentioned below.

The Secomak Airknife Drying System that can solve these wet can problems are:

• Airknives Airknife Kit (Right)
  

The airknives attach onto conveyor exits helping to remove the excess water. Secomak are also in the process of developing a system for recovering the water using a patented bulk water extraction system.

The benefits of using Air Knife Drying Kits for can pasteurising applications include:

• An increase in safety for production operators.
• An improvement in downstream processes.
• Cleaning requirements being reduced.
