Allpax, a product brand of ProMach, used PACK EXPO Las Vegas to launch the 2402 multimode retort for developing new or enhanced food products and for quickly scaling up to production. It features rotary and horizontal agitation and saturated steam and water immersion modes.
Following PACK EXPO, the show unit will be delivered to one of Allpax’s latest customers, the North Carolina (NC) Food Innovation Lab.
“The NC Food Innovation Lab is a current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) pilot plant that accelerates plant-based food research, ideation, development, and commercialization,” said Dr. William Aimutis, executive director of the NC Food Innovation Lab. “The 2402 is one tool that allows this facility to offer a variety of capabilities and flexibility.”
The 2402 multimode retort also features the new pressure profiler from Allpax. The pressure profiler delineates cook and cooling process parameters that ensure package integrity by minimizing package deformation and stress during the sterilization process.
The large number of process combinations and profiles available from the 2402 multimode retort delivers the capability to develop entirely new product categories or refresh existing products with improved quality and taste. Customers may order all or any combination of modes, which include:
