R&D Pilot Retort

Request More Information ›

STOCK’s multi-functional R&D retort systems provide the flexibility to develop and optimize heat transfer and sensory profiles for various container geometries and recipe formulations. These batch pilot retorts support multiple process and agitation modes to meet diverse R&D needs. An on-board linear deflection container sensor automatically generates precise auto-overpressure setpoint ramp and hold steps, eliminating guesswork in pressure profile development.

Our R&D retort is specifically designed for process formulation development and container integrity modeling, utilizing a range of processing techniques including immersion, partial immersion, saturated steam, and steam water spray. These techniques enable seamless process transitions for production sterilization equipment, all managed through our advanced ICON SMS (Sterilization Management System) controls.
