Autoclaves for the Food Industry — Industrial Sterilization Solutions for the USA and Canada
Designed for the North American food industry
There is one indisputable fact: food manufacturers in the United States and Canada operate under some of the strictest food safety regulations in the world. This is not surprising, given that our countries are very concerned about the health and quality of life of their citizens.
You can find a range of requirements for each area of food production, from the FDA in the US to the CFIA standards in Canada. Let's take a closer look at the heat treatment process, specifically how the accuracy of heat treatment is critical to regulatory compliance and consumer safety.
We, KOMPO North America Inc., supply all equipment, namely autoclaves for the food industry, which are specially built and designed to meet the operational requirements of processing plants in the US and Canada, ensuring reliable sterilization, complete process control, and long-term production stability.
Industrial autoclaves manufactured in accordance with US and Canadian production standards
Standards are important because they protect not only consumers but also manufacturers. For example, take a look at autoclaves for the food industry, which are designed to ensure:
- Precise temperature and pressure control
- Proven sterilization cycles
- Uniform heat distribution
- Automated PLC-controlled operations
- Full batch traceability
List of industries and companies that use autoclaves is extremely wide. For example, in North America, you will find autoclaves installed in:
- Canned meat and poultry
- Seafood processing
- Ready meals
- Sauces and soups
- Retort pouch packaging
- Canned products with a long shelf life
Whether you operate a large processing plant in the Midwestern United States or a growing manufacturing facility in Ontario or Alberta, our food industry autoclaves can be easily integrated into existing production lines.
Autoclaves for the food packaging industry
There are still some differences even within the two countries. Our autoclaves for the food packaging industry are compatible with:
- Metal cans
- Glass jars
- Trays
- Flexible multilayer bags
- Vacuum containers
Advanced temperature display and programmable recipe control ensure repeatable sterilization results for each batch, which is critical for compliance with North American distribution and export standards.
