Abstract: A method for regulating a transport velocity in a pasteurizer comprises regulating of the transport velocity by changing, such as reducing or increasing, the transport velocity, making a corresponding first change, such as reducing or increasing, of a first number of pasteurization zones by a second number, and making a corresponding second change, such as increasing or reducing, of a third number of cooling zones by the second number. A device for carrying out the method comprises: a pasteurizer having a first number of pasteurization zones and a third number of cooling zones, a transport device for transporting containers at a transport velocity, a control device configured for the changing of the transport velocity, making the corresponding first change, and making the corresponding second change.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plant (1, 42, 53, 56) for pasteurizing foodstuffs/beverages in containers by way of a process liquid (13), having: at least one heating zone (6, 7), pasteurizing zone (8-10) and cooling zone (11, 12), wherein each of said zones is assigned a sprinkling device (14-20) for discharging the process liquid and a collecting region (23-29) for receiving the discharged process liquid, a first heat exchanger (31) which feeds heat from a heat source (32) to the process liquid from a collecting region of the at least one pasteurizing zone and which, for this purpose, has a line connection to said collecting region and to inlets to sprinkling devices of the at least one heating zone via a pressure-closed heating line system (95), a second heat exchanger (30) which is coupled to a cooling system in order to cool the process liquid from the collecting region of the at least one cooling zone and which, for this purpose, has a line connection to said collecting region and to inlets to sprinkling d

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a bottle treatment machine including a pump/nozzle protector in the form of a screen. The screen includes an at least partially perforated surface and the screen is provided for passing a liquid of the bottle treatment machine therethrough. The bottle treatment machine further includes at least one scraper which rests at least partially on the at least partially perforated surface of the screen. The screen and the at least one scraper are arranged to be rotatable relative to one another. The present disclosure further relates to a method for cleaning the screen of the bottle treatment machine.

Abstract: Container treatment plant for treating containers, such as bottles, in the beverage processing industry comprising a chlorine dioxide producer, a chlorine dioxide consumer, comprising at least one container treatment machine, in particular a pasteurizer, such as a tunnel pasteurizer, and a metering device that can introduce a solution containing chlorine dioxide produced in the chlorine dioxide producer into the chlorine dioxide consumer, where the chlorine dioxide producer is configured to produce chlorine dioxide through a reaction of sodium chlorite and sulfuric acid.

Abstract: Pasteurization system with purification of the process liquid, with a feed and evacuation conveyor system for containers. At least one treatment zone with sprinkling nozzles to spray the containers with a process liquid such as water, the treatment zone including a screening unit with a sedimentation area for the deposition of sediment from the process liquid, a closed-loop circuit to re-use the process liquid, with devices to remove the sediment from the sedimentation area for each zone and to feed the sediment into a central filter unit. The central filter unit has at least one filter module for the filtration of solid matter from the inputted sediment so that the filtered process liquid is conserved. Devices to return the filtered process liquid to one or several treatment zones are also provided.
