Technical specifications

• _{The products are loaded by a valve on the cover to add the ingredients by means of the vacuum created inside the autoclave. There is a hopper on the cover for loading auxiliary substances, such as essences, colouring solutions, active ingredients, scents, etc.}
• _{The autoclave is emptied by means of the mushroom drain valve on the bottom of the vessel to ensure all the liquid or cream is unloaded. A discharge pump can also be installed.}
• _{The vessel is hermetically sealed and can reach 80mBar at 20°C by means of the vacuum pump. The vacuum process prevents air from getting trapped in the product due to the turbulence inside the autoclave. Furthermore, the vacuum is used to load the liquids and powders into the autoclave through its valves.}
• _{The product temperature is controlled (with PID system) by a probe on the bottom of the vessel, both during the heating phase and the cooling phase.}
• _{The process can be checked through a sight glass equipped with glass-wiper located on the cover in a handy position to observe the process without having to stop and open the autoclave, for sampling and additives. There is also a timed lighting system for better internal inspection.}
• _{In addition to the electrical safety devices that protect the machine functions, all the operator safety devices required by current EC regulations are provided.}
