Allpax and STOCK America Showcase Their Latest Sterilization Systems Innovations at Pack Expo

Sep 23, 2024

COVINGTON, LA., and GARNER, NC, (date) — ALLPAX and STOCK America, two of ProMach’s Handling and Sterilizing brands, bring to Pack Expo their latest productivity, product quality, and sustainability solutions for low-acid food sterilization processing applications. Pack Expo, November 3-6, McCormick Place in Chicago, adjacent booths S-3554 and S-3550.

On display will be Allpax’s “swiss-army knife” of R&D retorts, the model 2402. This year the machine will be set up with hardware and software to simulate Stock/Allpax latest retort innovation called ImmersaFlow™.

The ALLPAX Multimode R&D 2402 series retorts are the most versatile R&D machines in the industry. Every unit is built to order and can be as simple or as flexible as the customer requires.

ImmersaFlow™ is a new patented batch retort process that is capable of quickly heating densely packed retort baskets by channeling the flow of hot water through the basket from top to bottom. The ImmersaFlow process focuses on heated water within the basket for a uniform heating profile, more so than any other type of retort process that is currently available. Target temperature is acquired faster, based on an engineered directional flow design. Shorter processing time improves product quality for a like-fresh sensory experience and results in lower overall energy consumption. Cooling, like heating, is reduced by the focused flow of water, which means overall cycle time reductions for improved asset utilization. ImmersaFlow offers lab research personnel a tool for entirely new avenues of processing capabilities in terms of achieving superb product quality results.

ImmersaFlow™ process provides faster processing time & higher product quality through precise control of media fluid dynamics.

At Pack Expo, ALLPAX & STOCK will also be emphasizing the following:

  • High speed and flexible loading and unloading systems for pouches.
  • Fully automated to manual loading and unloading systems for rigid containers such as cans and glass jars/bottles.
  • Water and energy recovery solutions for every type of retorting system.
  • Project management and comprehensive FAT services for improved project execution and much faster start-ups in the field.
  • Complete post-sale support capabilities including spare parts packages, upgrade kits, retrofits and rebuild services, audits, 24/7 remote support services, and custom-tailored Service Agreements
Automation Equipment- high speed pouch loading and unloading system developed by ALLPAX.

Allpax products will be discussed at the Pet Care Packaging: Cutting-Edge Solutions and Strategies presentation on the Innovation Stage 1 (N4560) from 3 to 3:30 on November 5.
