Energy Recovery System Offers as Much as 30% Energy Savings
JBT Corporation announced a sustainable Energy Recovery System (ERS) designed to seamlessly integrate into new and existing JBT Steam Water Spray (SWS) retort systems. With the updated ERS technology, SWS customers benefit from additional cost savings and up to a reported 30% energy savings, without extending their thermal process cycles.
Used for product sterilization, retorts are at the heart of many shelf-stable food processing lines such as ready-meals, baby food, pet food, soups, sauces, canned vegetables, milk, fruit juices, non-carbonated beverages, tea, coffee and more. As sustainability in food and beverage operations becomes increasingly important, producers across these product markets have an opportunity to make improvements with the ERS technology, says the company.
