Industrial retorts, tuna precookers and freezers for canneries

TACORE's thermal processing division covers the cannery equipment that drives food safety and yield: sterilization, cooking, freezing and thawing. Every machine is designed and built at our plant in Vilagarcía de Arousa, Spain, in AISI 304L / 316L stainless steel, and sized to your product, can format and available floor space.

Our industrial sterilization retort runs in continuous or batch mode with a combined steam and overpressure water spray system, in 4 to 7 trolley configurations or fully custom. The static vacuum cooker is a tuna precooker for tuna and pelagic fish, with a self-contained vacuum group and hydraulic sealing, available from 1 to 10 trolleys. For bivalves and crustaceans we build shellfish cookers from 2,000 to 8,000 kg per batch, and for small pelagics a continuous brine freezer with immersion at -18 °C.

The division also includes shellfish dehydrators, glazing machines, cooking basins and fish thawing units, built to order and integrated with the PLC control of your canning line. Browse each equipment page or ask our engineers for a technical study of your project.
