Automatic Retort Loading & Unloading System
Batch retort loading and unloading for flexible packaging
Our flexible packaging retort loading and unloading system is particularly designed to automatically accomplish loading, stacking and unloading of pouches, cans, jars and containers in baskets or trays, as well as tray destacking and package removing after sterilization process.
The automatic retort handling system can be integrated with conveyors that transfer packaged products from upstream packaging equipment to the sterilization retort, and send sterilized products to downstream cleaning equipment, thus achieving unmanned production process of retort room.
This automatic retort loading and unloading system is extensively used in sterilization process for meats, eggs, seafood, corns, vegetables, soy foods, dairy foods and other food products packaged in cans, pouches, jars and containers.
This retort handling system performs automatic loading via weighing, tray loading, telescopic stacking and vacuum absorbing, and automatic unloading via overturning and vacuum absorbing to adapt to different packaging formats and specific requirements. The automated retort loading and unloading system utilizes robotic arm to stack and destack trays. An electric trolley moves between retorts to realize complete automation of loading and unloading operations, and the intelligent system controls the entire loading and unloading system to conduct unmanned operation.
- Ideally alternative to manual tedious tasks of tray loading, stacking and destacking prior to and after food sterilization, greatly saving labor intensity;
- Fully automated loading and unloading operations are implemented by computer control, without requiring human operator intervention;
- Production quality and efficiency will not be affected by operator's emotion, ensuring the safety and quality standardization;
- Less labor cost, reduced production management cost;
- 24-hour continuous operation, yielding a higher profit for manufacturers;
