The question that this paper tries to answer is:

What steps do we have to follow to be able to validate the operation of an autoclave. Apart from the new equipment, how can it be described that a Revamping of an old or second-hand equipment has been carried out adequately and efficiently.

First of all, it is necessary to explain that Revamping consists of the restructuring, updating or reconstruction of industrial machines in order to extend their life cycle within the production processes. This intervention will partially or totally replace the technology used through the application of state-of-the-art technological solutions to obtain an improvement in the efficiency and quality of the manufactured product and, in many cases, to comply with current regulations.

The meat and alternative protein sector plays a vital role in the food industry and, like many other industries, is subject to constant changes and evolutions due to economic, social, technological and environmental factors. Faced with this uncertainty in which the sector is immersed, the solution does not lie in predicting scenarios, but in learning to adapt quickly to unexpected events, where innovation is a key factor.

For this day, six presentations have been scheduled focused on the thematic axes of food safety and digitalization that help to face these challenges and needs by offering solutions.
