Water Cascading Retort
The Water Cascade Retort—also known as a water shower or raining retort—uses a continuous top-down flow of heated water to sterilize products with precision and uniformity. This system delivers process water from the top over a full load of baskets, ensuring even temperature distribution while keeping containers stable and protected.
Ideal for heat-processing applications that demand both thermal uniformity and gentle container handling.
The Water Cascade Retort follows a controlled, multi-phase batch process:

Key Features & Benefits
- Uniform Top-to-Bottom Heat Transfer
Precision perforated plate ensures even shower distribution. - Low Water Level, High Efficiency
Water level stays below product load, reducing volume and saving energy. - Gentle Container Handling
Ideal for breakable and rigid containers, with minimal impact forces. - External Heat Exchange
Prevents fouling, simplifies maintenance, and improves temperature control. - Validated Thermal Consistency
Designed for repeatable, regulation-compliant results across all zones.
Best Suited For
Perfect for glass jars, glass bottles, metal cans, and other rigid containers that require reliable and uniform heat distribution without full water immersion.
