Flexible, customizable, secure sealing that saves time and money while optimizing product safety and stability
Sterilization by means of heat is one of many technologies JBT applies to preserve food quality and to extend the shelf-life of packaged food. In-container sterilization is a proven thermal processing technology that reliably renders low acid food products (pH > 4.5) safe for consumption and extends the shelf-life, without refrigeration, for wide, shelf-stable retail distribution.
In the process non-sterile containers are filled and sealed with non-sterile product. The product is then sterilized inside the container as it passes through the sterilization processing line.
Our in-container sterilization solutions, both batch and continuous configurations, help producers increase food safety and extend shelf-life while providing consumers with nutritious, natural and flavorful food.
