An apparatus plant is described which includes a continuous autoclave (1) for the heat treatment of foods measured into open containers (9) loaded onto trays (12) which are advanced through the autoclave (1) by a stepping conveyer (38). A cooling chamber (6) communicates at one end with the autoclave (1) through an air-lock tunnel (7) and at the other with a sterile assembly for sealing the containers (9) full of cooked food.

Apparatus for producing ready-to-eat cooked foods

Separate independent streams of pumpable and non-pumpable ingredients of a complex food article are first subjected to respective specific thermal stabilization treatments and are then cooled and combined into the desired complex food article which is finally sealed in a package. All the operations are carried out in an aseptic sterile environment.
