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

APPLICATION PROBLEM:

The pasteurising process often involves food tins or jars being held under hot water drench.

Microscopic porous areas in the can seam and welds allow internal pressure in a food tin to vent. However as the food tin cools a vacuum builds up that can cause bacteria to be introduced in to the container.

Large volumes of water can settle on the food tin or jar and the conveyor, and be can be carried away from the pasteurising area into other production areas. This can cause potential slip hazards and the unnecessary formation of additional cleaning requirements.

Excess water can quickly evaporate leaving behind unsightly residue that results in a stain on the surface of the food tin.

A Secomak drying solution for food tin or jar pasteurising applications is to dry the food tins or jars as they exit the pasteuriser in mass flow and again when moving along the line in single file.
