Autoclave

Overview

The aluminium cans are sterilised with steam at a temperature of 120 °C and a pressure of 3 bar in an autoclave. Then, while the cans are still in the autoclave, they are cooled down with water to a temperature between 35 °C and 40 °C. They are dried and further cooled before being stacked in the warehouse. To enable a safe, optimal autoclaving process, pressure and limit level are measured.
