  • Publication number: 20190191729
    Abstract: A method for aseptic heating of a liquid product in a heat exchanger unit in a UHT system is described. The heat exchanger unit is a tubular heat exchanger, in which an indirect heat exchange on a wall takes place between the liquid product and a heating medium by a single heating medium flow with a heating medium inlet temperature flowing in a heat-releasing heating medium chamber between a heating medium inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger unit running countercurrent to a flowing single product flow guided in a heat-absorbing product chamber between a product input and output of the heat exchanger unit. A total heat exchanger path is formed between the product input and output, in which the product flow is heated from a product input temperature to a product output temperature. At least the product output temperature and the heating medium inlet temperature are monitored and regulated.

  • Patent number: 9936725
    Abstract: A metering device with a product conduit section, through which a base product forcibly flows, with at least one storage container for an additive, which is connected with an associated metering point respectively via a removal conduit, which is arranged on or respectively in the product conduit section, with a mechanism for forcibly conveying the additive, with quantity-based capturing of the base product and of the additive, with sterile steam and with a control device assigned to the metering device. The metering point is provided within a metering valve, which forms a product chamber, into which the product conduit section opens and from which it exits, an initial chamber and a partial chamber as well as a receiver of an end section and of a terminal side.

  • Patent number: 9513062
    Abstract: A device for influencing the flow in the area of a pipe manifold plate of a tube bundle heat exchanger with an outer channel encased by an outer sheath for a heat carrier medium, with a number of inner tubes extending axially parallel to the outer sheath through the outer channel, together forming an inner channel, each supported on the end side in the pipe manifold plate, with an inlet or outlet common for all inner tubes designed in a exchanger flange and a common outlet or respectively inlet designed in a connection piece for a product with at least one displacement body. A guide ring forms radially inside with its inner contour the required and proven flow environment for the displacement body.

  • Patent number: 9491964
    Abstract: A method for the aseptic measured delivery of a liquid additive (Z) into a forced flow of a base product (P), wherein the additive (Z) is removed from a storage container (18) under aseptic conditions by means of a removal conduit (18a) and is fed via an end section (E) of the removal conduit (18a) to the base product (P), which flows through a product chamber (RP) and a metering device and valve.
