Sterilization Optimization for Small-Scale Ready-to-Eat Lines: Flexible Application of Dual Steam and Water Bath Modes

　　With the global surge in the Ready-to-Eat (RTE) meal market, small-scale production lines and startup food processors face challenges from diverse packaging. The FA-WB150E autoclave, with its "Steam + Water Bath" dual-mode switching capability, has become core equipment for optimizing sterilization processes.

Mode Comparison: How to Choose the Process for Your RTE Products?

• Steam Sterilization Mode: Utilizes electric heating tubes to generate high-temperature steam. Ideal for high-temperature resistant solid products. It offers rapid heating and high thermal efficiency.
• Water Bath Sterilization Mode: High-temperature water completely overflows the product. Best suited for heat-sensitive or pressure-deformable flexible packaging like vacuum pouches and RTE trays. Its thermal inertia mitigates the risk of pouch bursting during cooling.

FA-WB150E: Key Parameters Supporting Process Stability

• Precision Temperature Control: Supports a range of 0-130°C with 0.1°C accuracy and an error margin within ±0.5°C. This ensures taste and safety standards are uniform across every batch.
• Counter-Pressure Protection: Equipped with a 0.2 MPa rated working pressure control and automatic air admission via an air pump to prevent packaging damage.
