JBT Corporation Unveils High Capacity Continuous Rotary Pressure Sterilizer

JBT Corporation, a renowned technology solutions provider for the global food and beverage industry, is excited to announce the launch of the JBT 2.1m Pressure Rotary. This cutting-edge sterilizer technology represents a significant leap forward, delivering exceptional product quality and consistency while reducing the cost per unit produced. It's a game-changer that enables manufacturers to optimize both production output and product excellence, all while minimizing their facility's footprint.

The JBT 2.1m Pressure Rotary offers all the advantages and features of a standard sterilizer. However, with its larger diameter, it achieves an impressive 25% to 50% increase in production throughput compared to the 58" (1.5m) pressure rotary, while occupying approximately the same floor space. This versatile sterilizer gently handles a wide range of cans, enabling high-temperature/short-time (HTST) cooking and rapid, efficient cooling through an automated and continuous process. This results in reduced resource and utility consumption per can, while simultaneously boosting throughput.

"Our aim in developing this new addition to our rotary product line was to provide our partners with simplicity and efficiency," shared Rick Wilson, Global Product Line Director at JBT Corporation. "Consequently, we are introducing a sterilization solution that accomplishes more with less."

The new sterilizer empowers customers to increase capacity within existing floor space or consolidate multiple rotary sterilizers into one high-capacity 2.1m rotary. For most applications, upgrading to the 2.1m rotary does not require altering the existing 58" (1.5m) rotary thermal process. JBT's proven sterilizer solutions minimize downtime and maximize the availability of high-quality, market-ready products to meet customer demands.

By leveraging JBT's advanced rotary sterilizer technologies, customers can achieve their sustainable food production goals through:

Reduced water and energy consumption

Decreased maintenance and extended machine life

Increased throughput within the same space

Optimized resource utilization per can produced

For over a century, JBT's Continuous Rotary Pressure Sterilizer has played a vital role in global food production. With more than 7,500 units in operation since 1921, these sterilizers now handle over 50% of the world's canned foods, preserving an extensive range of items, including ready-made meals, vegetables, soups, sauces, milk, and non-carbonated beverages. Annually, approximately 100 billion food cans are produced globally, with the JBT Rotary Pressure Sterilizer being the preferred choice for over half of them.
