RETORT ROOM EQUIPMENT

Allpax is a retort manufacturer that also builds a wide range of integrated robotics, automated material handling and auxiliary equipment for the retort room. The AIR DRONE is one of our designs that makes the retort room a safer place to work.

LOADS AND UNLOADS THE RETORT

One of the biggest justifications for automation in the retort room is the automatic transportation of product-filled baskets and the loading and unloading of baskets in the batch retort. The Allpax AIR DRONE is a device that was designed to accomplish basket transport into, and out of, the retort safely and efficiently. The machine is a flat-profile robot that runs on rails and travels underneath the baskets. The robot's heavy-duty inflatable tubes lift the baskets off of the conveyors, then drives the product load into the retort, then deflates to deposit the baskets for retort processing. Retrieval works in the reverse manner.

NO MOVING PARTS IN THE RETORT

The Allpax AIR DRONE eliminates the need for internal conveyors and virtually ALL moving parts (even rollers) inside the retort!
