Heat up quickly
Heat the chamber to around 110 °C in around 5 minutes.
Pasteurisation systems
Extend shelf life.
Preserve quality.
Heat rapidly, hold precisely and chill intensively: SORGO pasteurisation systems combine short thermal processes for extending shelf life with versatile cooking and chilling functions. All in one system – tailored to the product and its packaging.

PROCESS CONTROL
As much heat as needed. As briefly as possible.
Controlled holding
Hold the temperature for the desired process effect.
Cool intensively
Remove heat rapidly, pass quickly through critical temperature ranges and limit residual cooking.
YOUR BENEFITS
Short routes.
Controlled processes.
A focus on product quality
Rapid temperature changes and tailored holding times limit thermal stress and help preserve the desired product characteristics.
Less handling
Heating, holding and chilling in one chamber eliminate transfers between treatment steps.
Repeatable programmes
Temperature, time, counterpressure and chilling are controlled as one integrated product process.
Active air circulation per trolley
A dedicated circulation fan for each trolley position supports uniform treatment of the load.
More scope for your sales
Longer shelf life.
New markets.
Longer shelf life opens up new sales opportunities: longer transport routes, additional export markets and more possibilities in food retail. This enables you to reach customers and regions that were previously difficult to supply because of short shelf-life periods.
More time for transport, storage and sale simplifies planning and creates scope for new distribution concepts – aligned with your product’s validated shelf life and storage conditions.
More possibilities in one chamber
One system.
Many processes.
From conventional cooking to pasteurisation under counterpressure: the functions can be combined into suitable product programmes. Heating and chilling take place in the same chamber – without transferring the load between process steps.
Pasteurisation
under counterpressure
Targeted heat treatment to extend shelf life, tailored to the product and its packaging.
Rapid cooking
under counterpressure
Elevated process temperature for appropriately designed cooking programmes.
Cooking
Cooking and humidification with directly injected low-pressure saturated steam.
Showering
Vertical and horizontal showers for rapid heat removal.
Blast chilling
Active cold-air chilling through cooling coils to the required core temperature.
Drying
Drying phases for the respective product process; electric supplementary heating is optional.
Versatile applications
Meat and sausage products · Delicatessen and pasta products · Jars and cans · Vacuum-packed and modified-atmosphere-packed products as well as suitable unpackaged products
Built for everyday production.
The inner casing and chamber floor are made entirely of stainless steel 1.4571. Smooth internal surfaces, full insulation and a reinforced chamber floor combine hygiene with robust construction.
- Counterpressure
- Maximum 0.49 bar gauge pressure
- Outer casing
- Stainless steel 1.4301
- Insulation
- 100 mm mineral wool
Construction and safety
Opening only after pressure relief.
Around five tonnes-force per square metre: Even at 0.49 bar gauge pressure, each square metre of chamber surface is subjected to 49 kN – equivalent to the weight force of around five tonnes. The chamber, door and locking mechanism are therefore particularly robust and designed for these high loads.
The pressure-controlled safety door lock releases the door only when the chamber is depressurised. Six heavy-duty hinges support secure, pressure-tight closing of the 210 mm thick door.
Temperature and chamber-pressure monitoring as well as emergency stop are part of the safety equipment. The loading ramp is operated pneumatically and automatically according to the door position.
Deliberately below the 0.5 bar threshold.
With a maximum allowable chamber gauge pressure (PS) of 0.49 bar, the process chamber falls outside the scope of EU Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.

Heating and cooking processes
- HP steam heating
Finned-tube coil made of stainless steel 1.4301 in the upper section of the system.
- Cooking with low-pressure saturated steam
Direct steam injection for cooking processes and humidification.
- Supplementary electric heating Optional
Supplementary electric heating for the appropriately designed system and its dry-heating processes.
Showering and blast chilling
- Counterflow cooling coils
Stainless steel 1.4301 coils in the supply-air ducts remove heat rapidly. The cooling system operates on the counterflow principle.
- Vertical and horizontal showers
Water cooling supports rapid chilling after the holding phase and quick passage through critical temperature ranges.
- Mist shower Optional
Twin-fluid nozzles atomise water with compressed air into a microfine mist to supplement chilling.
Air distribution for
the entire load.
Process air is returned through the central intake. Air circulation operates at two speeds; specially shaped nozzles introduce the conditioned air into the process chamber and distribute it uniformly throughout the load.
OPTIONAL CIP CLEANING
Fully automatic CIP cleaning
Available as an option. The programme-controlled system performs cleaning, contact time and fresh-water rinsing of the system.
- 01Central cleaning station
One central station supplies several connected systems and cleans them automatically in sequence.
- 02Adjustable dosing
Cleaning agent dosing can be adjusted from 1 to 10%.
- 03Pressure boosting
A powerful stainless steel pump provides a cleaning pressure of approximately 10 bar. This makes the system independent of the customer's mains water pressure.
- 04Automatic fresh-water rinsing
After cleaning and contact time, the system automatically rinses with clean water.
