  • Method and apparatus for continuous thermal processing of packaged products
    Publication number: 20030200876
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously sterilizing and cooking packaged products. The packages are drawn through a hydrostatic-pressure cooker utilizing a cable-driven drive mechanism where clipped-packages are attached to the cable. As the package is maneuvered through the hydrostatic-pressure cooker heated water and steam may cook the contents of the package while sterilizing the exterior surface of the package. Batch sterilizing techniques are thereby avoided.
