  • Patent number: 8047396
    Abstract: A composite pressure vessel comprised of an inner fluid tight liner and an outer reinforced polymer layer. An end boss comprising a short pipe section arranged through an opening of the vessel and extending to a lower end with an outwardly extending flange on the pipe section arranged between the outer layer and the inner liner, and a lid arranged at an upper end of the pipe section. The inner liner extends upwards through the opening of the pipe section to the lid with at least one gas tight seal interfacing against the inner liner. A pre-tensioning device is arranged on the outside of the inner liner, in a groove nearest to the lid and pipe section, around the upper end of the pipe section, which, regardless of the pressure in the vessel, presses the inner liner against the at least one gas tight seal.

  • Patent number: 6228409
    Abstract: Consumer milk with a defined fat content packed in packages is produced by mixing two fractions consistng of milk products with different fat content. One of the fractions has a fat content below the required fat content of the consumer milk to be produced, while the other has a fat content above the required fat content of the consumer milk. The mixing of the two fractions takes place immediately prior to, or during, the filling of the consumer milk in packages.

  • Patent number: 5687779
    Abstract: A fill system for use in a packaging machine is disclosed for filling a container with a primary and a secondary product. The fill system includes a primary pump system for pumping a predetermined amount of the primary product received at an inlet thereof to an outlet thereof. A primary fill pipe having an outlet overlying a container processing path along which the containers are filled and sealed by the packaging machine is connected to receive the predetermined amount of primary product from the outlet of the primary pump system. The container processing path lies generally perpendicular to the primary fill pipe. A nozzle is connected at the outlet of the fill pipe. The fill system further includes a secondary pump system for pumping a predetermined amount of the secondary product received at an inlet thereof to an outlet thereof. A secondary fill pipe is connected to receive the predetermined amount of secondary product from the outlet of the secondary pump means.
