SPICE & HERBS INDUSTRIES
HORIZONTAL RECTANGULAR SPICE BATCH STEAM STERILIZER
SAFE AND HEALTHY STEAM STERILIZATION OF SPICES & HERBS
Spices and herbs bring a world of flavors, aromas and colors to our dining tables. Spices and herbs are sourced worldwide and they may be heavily contaminated from the soil where they were grown and harvested. If left untreated, these products can provide perfect conditions for continued growth of the microbes which can lead to spoilage and consumer health issues.
Natural sterilization/pasteurization with pure steam has gained significantly in popularity with the introduction of the Rectangular Batch Type Spice Steam Sterilizers systems. Steam is ideal as it is non-toxic, inexpensive, safe and can be produced in abundance. Steam based sterilization is a natural process that does not leave behind any chemical residue. It is 100% natural and chemical and Radiation free.
Hospharma steam sterilization systems are used for reducing microbiological pathogens present in Powdered, Granular, Leafy & Whole spices & Herbs.
It is a cyclic process comprising of pre-vacuum, steam injection & drying to the desired final moisture content. The cycle time is 50-60 minutes. It is effective in completely eradicating salmonella and E. Coli, Yeast & Mould, spore formers & other dangerous microorganisms. Reduction from 3 to 7 logs with Effective microorganism kill while causing the minimum harm to the organoleptic characteristics (flavor, color, texture or taste) of spices, herbs and nuts.

Inbuilt Steam Generator - The Sterilizer is provided with an Inbuilt Electrically fired Steam Generator mode up of S.S 316 Quality to generate its own clean & pure steam to be used in the chamber during the sterilization cycle. It comes with all Safety features like Low Water protection system, Safety valve, pressure switch etc.
Direct Steam Heated - If Inbuilt Steam generator is not opted then customer can provide the clean & pure steam from their own Centralized Boiler which will be connected to the Sterilizer via PRV valve, Strainers & Moisture Traps.
Fully Automatic Touch Screen HMI & PLC operating system.
Cycle phases which can be operated Automatically includes Pulsing, Pre-Vacuum, Heating, Sterilization Hold, Slow Exhaust, Fast Exhaust, Post- Vacuum Drying, Etc.
This control system is based on state-of the art technology programmed inhouse to ensure high precision & highly reliable cycle operation. The PLC control unit ensures a fully automatic operation throughout the entire cycle.
Sterilization Cycle Online printing facility is also available with this operating mode. An Epson Branded Dot Matrix printer is provided along with this system which is connected to the Automation Panel. The printer generator a hard copy printout of the Sterilization cycle which includes information concerning the cycle operation such as the Company Name, Manufacturer’s name, date, time, Batch number, Set Parameters, Temperature, Pressure & other cycle phase information.
Optional 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance software shall be provided along with this operating system to remotely operate & monitor the Sterilization cycle via software installed on a remote Computer/PC which is connected to the Automation control panel through LAN/Ethernet Cable. The same software can be used to save the sterilization cycle data & also take a hard copy printout of it through any printers attached to the same network
Vacuum Pump & Condenser - This Feature is provided along with the Sterilizer for Creating Full Vacuum of -760 mm of Hg in the chamber for mechanical air removal prior to sterilization and subsequently for post sterilization vacuum drying process to reduce the moisture percentage of the final sterile spices & Herbs The Water ring Vacuum Pump comes with a leak proof Mechanical Sealing system & the pump is mounted near the Sterilizer or on the Service Floor & is connected with S.S 304 Quality Steam to Water Condenser system which cools the steam and converts it into water before it goes in the vacuum pump. It protects the vacuum pump and enhances its working and noise reduction.
Outer Cabinet Enclosure - This Optional Outer Cabinet is opted for elegant & aesthetic look of the Sterilizer Sterilizer. The Equipment is mounted on a tubular stand which would be fitted on S.S 304 /M.S Quality Frame & there would be S.S 304/M.S Quality Powder Coated cabinet Enclosure covering the whole machine with maintenance doors on the sides. The S.S Cabinet would be Mirror/Matt Finished as per the customer’s requirements
Air Compressor - This optional Accessory is provided along with the Equipment to provide pressurized compressed air to operate the Pneumatic Valves of the Sterilizer in case the customer doesn’t have a centralized compressed air line available on site. The Compressors are available in many variants like Oil Free, Noise Free, Compact, Reciprocating, Etc.
PRV Line Assembly - This optional accessory is provided along with direct steam heated Sterilizer Sterilizers where the steam is directly provided from the customer’s centralized Boiler. This system includes PRV Valve, Strainers, Moisture Traps & Pressure Gauge.
Hospharma Corporation also provides Onsite Validation Services for our Sterilizers. After the completion of the Installation process, the validation process begins where multiple 12/16 sensors would be placed at different location inside the chamber through the validation port and temperature mapping would be done for sterilization cycles to validate the equipment.
