Benchtop autoclaves with pressure support for research

The CFS-H Series benchtop autoclaves by TERRA Food tech with pressure support are ideal for education, research, and development of new materials in the food and packaging industries. They are particularly suitable for laboratory and pilot-scale studies involving packaged food products requiring controlled thermal processing.

What are the CFS-H Series autoclaves used for?

The CFS-H Series is intended for research-oriented thermal processing of packaged products, including:

Food industry product development
Packaging research and testing
University and academic research
Training and educational applications

They are suitable for cooking, pasteurizing, and sterilizing packaged foods, supporting the development of new formulas and container types.

How does the thermal processing system work?

The system is designed for cooking, pasteurizing, or sterilizing packaged foods using saturated steam generated inside the chamber. Process control is based on:

Chamber temperature regulation (50 °C to 130 °C)
F₀ and P₀ value control
Optional core (flexible) temperature probe placed in a reference sample

This enables precise process control while helping preserve organoleptic properties and minimizing changes in nutritional value.

Operational features

Adjustable temperature range from 50 °C to 130 °C
Pressure support adjustable up to 2.1 Barg
Programs with up to 5 initial and 5 final segments
Independent control of time, temperature, and pressure per segment
Up to 50 programmable cycles stored in memory

Advanced users can configure with up to 11 independently adjustable temperature segments.

Process control

A 5” touchscreen controller provides flexible operation and monitoring:

Customizable programs with adjustable parameters
Control of temperature, time, pressure, F₀ and P₀ values
Recording of Σ%F₀ and Σ%P₀ values over time
Suitable for both standard and advanced research protocols

This allows precise adaptation of processes to specific research or product requirements.

Traceability

All critical process parameters are continuously monitored and recorded to ensure reproducibility and control. This includes:

Temperature and pressure data
F₀ and P₀ values
Process evolution data such as Σ%F₀ and Σ%P₀

This supports validation, documentation, and research reproducibility.

Benchtop autoclaves with pressure support are used for controlled thermal processing of packaged products in research and pilot‑scale environments. They are commonly applied in education, food product development, and packaging research where precise cooking, pasteurization, or sterilization is required.

Benchtop autoclaves allow researchers to replicate industrial thermal processes on a smaller scale. This makes them suitable for experimenting with recipes, packaging materials, and processing conditions before scaling up to full production.

Research food autoclaves typically operate within a temperature range of 50 °C to 130 °C. This range allows for gentle pasteurization, controlled cooking, or full sterilization depending on the experimental objective.

Pressure support prevents deformation or rupture of sealed containers during heating. By balancing internal product pressure with external chamber pressure, up to 2.1 barg, the system protects packaging integrity during high‑temperature processing.

F₀ and P₀ values represent the cumulative thermal lethality applied during sterilization and pasteurization. Controlling these values ensures microbial safety while minimizing unnecessary heat exposure that could affect food quality.

Traceability ensures that experimental conditions can be reviewed, repeated, and validated. Recording all process parameters allows researchers to compare results across trials and supports credible documentation of research findings.
