Shaka vs. Static Heat Penetration Comparison

The Shaka process revolutionizes production with dramatic cycle time reduction and increased throughput. By minimizing thermal burden through rapid heating and cooling, Shaka retorts enhance product quality and nutrient retention, making them ideal for the research and development industry. Following the success of our 2402 and 3802 SHAKA™ R&D/Pilot retorts, Allpax has delivered over a decade of successful SHAKA™ production retort installations. Operating at reciprocating frequencies up to 3Hz, SHAKA™ offers unmatched process advantages, especially for high-viscosity and heat-sensitive products. This leads to up to a 90% reduction in process time compared to static retorts, while also delivering remarkably high throughput. The SHAKA™ retort’s severe-duty design and ease of use via the Allpax controls suite make it a unique and efficient solution for various package and product combinations. Its high-performance capabilities allow a single SHAKA™ retort to match the output of multiple static retorts, making it an optimal choice for production and R&D environments.
