Retorts with Overpressure: Still and Agitating

Overpressuring helps to balance internal pressure formed during a routine thermal process. The overpressuring prevents certain packages from malforming during the heating and cooling phases.

This course will cover

• the purpose of over-pressuring retorts
• effect of over-pressuring on different packaging types and other critical factors
• types of batch retorts with overpressure frequently used for canning
• still and agitating retorts
• heating media and retort construction materials

Each Chapter includes videos, followed by interactive exercises that allow you to work with the information, and practice using it using real-world scenarios. There are interactive exercises within the training which you must pass, with a score of 80%, in order to move on to the next. If you do not pass, you may try again.
