Once the temperature distribution data has been evaluated, you can establish the Come Up Time or Venting Schedule to assign to the retort. CALSoft gives you the ability to generate and print a Come Up Time (CUT) or Vent Schedule using the information you have established. All of this can be done on the "Reporting" Tab, which contains the following sections and features:
RETORT INFO-
- Retort Type (drop-down list)
- Retort Manufacturer/Model
- Control System
- Retort #
- Plant Name: name of factory where TD testing was conducted
- Location: location of factory where TD testing was conducted
- Other Info
VENT (for steam retorts)-
- If STEAM is chosen in the drop-down box for "Retort Type" in the Retort Info section, this section is labeled "VENT"
- Temperature Type: Fahrenheit or Celsius
- You can either use the standard format for a Venting Schedule and enter the Vent Closed time/temperature and Start Process time/temperature, or you can create your own custom text:
- Standard: Enter the times and temperatures that you have established
- Custom: If you would rather enter your own description of the Vent schedule, choose this option and type your text
CUT (for water retorts)-
- If WATER is chosen in the drop-down box for "Retort Type" in the Retort Info section, this section is labeled "CUT"
- You can either use the standard format for a Come Up Schedule and enter the Start Process time/temperature, or you can create your own custom text.
- Standard: Enter the time and temperature that you have established
- Custom: If you would rather enter your own description of the CUT, choose this option and type your text
CONDITIONS- To finish your Vent Schedule or Come Up Time schedule, CALSoft enables you to add "conditions" to the VENT or CUT. For example, you may conclude that the vent schedule only applies to containers that are loaded in layers, not "jumble" packed. Or you may assign the Come Up Time to a particular can size. Click "Add" and then select a "TD Condition Type" and enter text for the "TD Condition Value." The Conditions include several pre-defined options that you can apply from the drop-down, Five CUSTOM fields are available at the end of the list of conditions. Once finished, click "Save." These "Conditions" will appear on the printed Vent or CUT schedule.
TDCAL Reports- This section contains the option to print the report and update the time the TD schedule was completed. For more on this, check out CUT/Vent Schedule Report.
