A food retort is a pressure cooking vessel used for preservation of food. It operates at high temperatures under controlled pressure to destroy microorganisms that cause spoilage, and it is also used to change the physical and chemical properties of food. The main components of a food retort are a chamber, a heat source, and a pressure control device. SUMPOT retort can customize different types of food retort autoclaves per customers' request, such as water spray retort, water immersion retort, steam retort etc.

The application scope of a food retort is very wide and includes many different types of food packages. Some of the common food products that are preserved or processed using a food retort include:

  1. Dry foods, such as spices, herbs, nuts, and dried fruits.
  2. Liquid foods, such as juices, syrups, and sauces, chocolate milk, coconut milk.
  3. Food products with a high moisture content, such as meats, poultry, and fish products.
  4. Ready to eat meals, such as rice, pasta, and noodles, porridge 

The main advantage of using a food retort is that it is a very efficient and effective way to preserve food for a long time such as:

  1. Extended shelf life: By using retort machines, food products can be cooked and sterilized in a short amount of time, resulting in a longer shelf life. 
  2. Enhanced texture and flavor: Retorting food can help to enhance the texture and flavor of products, as the high heat and moisture levels can break down natural sugars and fats, creating a smoother and more evenly distributed texture.
  3. Safe for use in harsh environments: Food retort machines are often designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures and humidity, making them suitable for use in remote locations or harsh climates.
  4. Improved food safety: Retorting food products can help to reduce the risk of foodborne illness by killing bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause illness. 
  5. Increased efficiency: Retorting food products can be a faster and more efficient way to prepare and package products than traditional methods, such as canning or freezing. This can help businesses save time and money.
