Key features
SIG Retort Food filling machines ultrasonically seal the carton packs above the filling level, ensuring that fibers and pieces of food cannot get caught in the seal area and potentially compromise the product quality. After filling, the carton packs are transported to autoclaves, where packages and product are sterilized together.

Three-stage filling process
We developed an innovative three-stage process that starts by filling the SIG SafeBloc carton pack with products that can be pumped, then the weighed pieces are added. In the third stage, the package is topped up with a liquid. This method makes your production process very cost-effective because you can add individual product ingredients to the recipe continuously and in exactly the right quantities. This precision also gives you better control over product costs.
Package sizes
Rotary or static autoclave
The autoclave can be either static or rotary, depending on your preferences and the requirements of the product. Rotary autoclaves provide optimum temperature distribution inside the carton pack and improve product taste and quality.
