The Я16-АБА/02 is a series of vertical cylindrical electric autoclaves for industrial food sterilization, designed and manufactured by Pavlovsky Opytny Mekhanichesky Zavod (POMZ) — a Russian food-equipment producer established in 1989. The vessel sterilizes food packed in glass jars and tin cans at a working temperature of 115°C and maximum pressure of 0.3 MPa, satisfying standard canning technology requirements for meat, fish, vegetable, and fruit preserves.
The autoclave body is fabricated from structural steel with a heat-resistant coating; all product-contact internal loading baskets are made from food-grade stainless steel, aligning with food-safety standards. The entry model in the series holds 220 liters and accommodates one basket with up to 152 standard glass jars (type 1-82-500) or up to 670 small tin cans per cycle.
The 30 kW electric heater is paired with automatic temperature and pressure control, eliminating the need for continuous manual monitoring. A built-in forced cooling circuit shortens the post-sterilization cool-down phase, while a multi-level safety interlock protects operators throughout pressurized operation.
POMZ offers the series in five sizes ranging from 220 to over 950 liters, available in carbon-steel or all-stainless body construction, with delivery across Russia and the CIS.
