Abstract: A device for pasteurizing and filling medium into containers includes a short time heating system for pasteurizing the medium, a single buffer container downstream of the short time heating system for receiving the medium, and a rotary filling device downstream of the buffer container. The filling device is connected to the buffer container in a buffer-free manner and pipes and/or one or more rotary distributors are disposed between the filling device and the buffer container. A method for pasteurizing and filling medium into containers, where filling the containers with the medium is performed by way of a device in a buffer-free manner using a filling device, includes: pasteurizing the medium in the short time heating system, buffering the pasteurized medium in the buffer container, and filling the pasteurized medium into the containers. The pasteurized medium is transported in a buffer-free manner from the buffer container to the filling device.

Abstract: Filling line for heat-treating and filling a liquid into containers (e.g., bottles), comprising a pre-heater for pre-heating the liquid, a heater for heating the liquid after pre-heating, a cooler for cooling down the liquid after heating, and a filling unit for filling the liquid into the containers, where the filling line is suitable for hot filling and cold filling, where the liquid path from the pre-heater to the filling unit for hot filling differs from the liquid path from the pre-heater to the filling unit for cold filling, and the filling line comprises a switching option for switching between the two liquid paths; and a method for heat-treating and filling containers with a liquid in which such a filling line is used.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a device for treating and filling water, comprising: a water treatment device with at least one filtration module, at least one filling device for filling water, in particular, for filling containers with water treated by the water treatment device, and wherein the water treatment device is coupled directly to the filling device.

Abstract: A method of flash pasteurizing a liquid product before the product is filled includes preheating the product for flash pasteurization, correction cooling the flash pasteurized product, and intermediately storing cooling water heated in the correction cooling of the flash pasteurized product. Waste heat obtained during at least one of a cooling of filled-in product or a recooling of not filled-in product is supplied to the intermediately stored cooling water.

Abstract: A hot filling system for a liquid, with heat recovery, and a corresponding method, wherein prior to heating and filling the liquid is first preheated in a heat exchanger. A portion of the heated liquid to be filled is again cooled in a recooler and recirculated. The return line of the recooler is here connected to the supply line of the heat exchanger so as to transfer heat energy from the recooler to the heat exchanger. This reduces energy losses in comparison with known systems.

Abstract: Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape made of a flat, support material each side of which is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, the pressure-sensitive adhesive on at least one side being produced from a monomer mixture comprising a monomer of the formula CH2?CH(R1)(COOR2), where R1?H or CH3 and R2 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or H and the homopolymer possesses a static glass transition temperature of <?30° C.

Abstract: A method and device for sterilizing a flange connection including a sealing seat used for establishing a connection between product-bearing pipelines, and where the sealing seat of the flange connection is treated by thermal energy input from the not product-bearing side.

Abstract: A kit for preparing a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional framing for a plant pre-assembly includes a plurality of metallic prefabricated standard segments. Each of the standard segments has a hollow or solid profile section and plug-in socket system components such that the standard segments are connectable to each other, directly or indirectly and in a bearable manner via the plug-in socket system components, by at least one of screwing, soldering and welding to prepare or adapt the framing to a pre-assembly requirement of a plant or a component of the plant.

Abstract: A control valve for pressure reduction, in particular for liquids containing solids and having an inlet, an outlet and a channel between the inlet and outlet, wherethe channel is formed as an elastic through-flow channel with a free line cross section which can be reduced along its longitudinal axis over an extended line section.

Abstract: A device and method for the mixing of a beverage where, due to the fact that an aqueous mixed phase, in which the recipe constituents needed for mixing the beverage are contained and which has a higher water content than the prepared mixed beverage, is collected in a tank, the mixed phase can be added specifically to a beverage mixture of excess concentration in order to adjust the desired final concentration. The mixed phase preferably contains returned proportions of the prepared mixed beverage.
