Lagarde launch rocking retorts

Holmach would like to introduce the new Rocking System®, launched by Lagarde Autoclaves. This is an exclusive application that uses the basket’s loading and unloading system to agitate the product load, whilst sterilisation or pasteurisation is taking place. This first steam and air retort Rocking System® will reduce cycle times, while also retaining the products’ organoleptic qualities and carefully respecting the packaging shape. The advantages of a rocking machine is particularly beneficial with milk applications, as this reduces the challenges of the Maillard effect - a non-enzymatic reaction which happens between sugars and proteins that occurs upon heating, that causes the product to caramelise/brown. Machine configurations are available in 1- 4 baskets, the system is easily adapted to suit all container types. It is most efficient with high viscosity products such as soups, sauces and cream dishes. Just like other Lagarde machines, the Rocking System offers high rates of efficiency, low energy consumption and is also compatible with the latest user-friendly interface, the S.U.® Control System. With expert guidance provided by Lagarde and Holmach personnel, producers can configure the optimum movement for each process. Test facilities are available in both the UK and France.
