Abstract: A reusable sanitary valve assembly with a releasable cap or cover that disengages from the valve indicating an over-pressure situation has occurred, the cap or cover is capable of being reset, and once it is known that gas, liquid or other contaminants have possibly entered the valve following an over-pressure situation, the interior of the valve can be inspected by removing a portion of the valve while the valve remains sealed on a pressurized substrate and, if the interior of the valve is contaminated, the interior of the valve can be cleaned and closed without unseating the valve.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided employing multi-tube heat exchangers that include turbulence promoters, which are easy to clean, thus maintaining sanitary conditions; prevent catching or trapping of product flowing or pumping through the tubes; and aid in maximizing heating and cooling efficiency of flowable or pumpable product flowing within the apparatus.

Abstract: Adapters are provided for opposed cradle heads of a shaker arm for mounting a plurality of containers of different sizes. The cradle heads are provided with arcuate grooves and flanges in opposition to one another and the adapters are provided with bases having complementary arcuate grooves and flanges. With the adapters mounted on the cradle heads with interfitting grooves and flanges, multiple containers are disposed in container end supports in the adapters whereby oscillatory movement of a shaker arm oscillates the cradle heads, adapters and containers.
