Thermal processes of canned foods are typically performed
in pressurized batch or continuous retorts. The
most widely used non-agitating and agitating continuous
retorts are hydrostatic, e.g. FMC HydrostatTM, and rotary
retorts, e.g. FMC SterilmaticTM (Gavin & Weddig, 1995).
The hydrostatic retort is a versatile food sterilizer that
can be operated over a wide range of process temperatures
and pressures. The main components or stages of a hydrostatic
retorting system are illustrated in Fig. 1. At the feed
station, the containers are placed into a row (stack). The
formed stack is fed into a carrier that holds the containers
on the conveyor during their trip through: (1) a temperature-
controlled Preheat Water Leg, (2) a controlled steam
