Abstract
In this paper, we developed a continuous sterilizer in order to improve the productivity of the retort product. To this end, we design the sterilizer with a product inlet, outlet, and chain for continuously conveying the retort. The temperature analysis is performed to optimize the design parameters of the internal sterilizer. The experimental apparatus is developed to verify the productivity of the sterilizer based on the temperature analysis. The test is performed to optimize the evaluation parameters using Box-Behnken design method of a response surface methodology. From the test, the productivity of the continuous sterilizer is improved over 1,000 kg/h.
