  • Patent number: 11702328
    Abstract: An apparatus for filling a vessel with a multicomponent filling product includes a filler having at least one filling unit set up to introduce the filling product into the vessel, and a filler tank set up for intermediate buffering of the filling product and in fluid connection with the filling unit via a product conduit to supply the filling unit with the filling product; and a mixer set up to blend the filling product from at least two filling product components, wherein the mixer has a circulation conduit; and the mixer has at least one dosage branch set up to introduce one filling product component into the circulation conduit, wherein the mixer has a heat exchanger set up to adjust the temperature of the filling product in the circulation conduit.

  • Publication number: 20210321644
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the manufacture of a carbonated beverage, including the steps of: providing oxygen-reduced water; mixing the oxygen-reduced water with a mixing component to obtain a beverage mixture, adding a gas comprising CO2 to the beverage mixture to obtain a beverage mixture mixed with CO2, reducing the oxygen content of the beverage mixture mixed with CO2 in a first container to obtain an oxygen-reduced beverage mixture mixed with CO2, discharging the oxygen-reduced beverage mixture mixed with CO2 from the first container, determining the CO2 content of the oxygen-reduced beverage mixture mixed with CO2; and adding further CO2 to the discharged oxygen-reduced beverage mixture mixed with CO2 on the basis of the determined CO2 content to obtain a finally carbonated beverage.

  • Patent number: 11014023
    Abstract: A degassing system includes a degassing tank with a first space area configured for having liquid introduced therein and a second space area configured for having the liquid from the first space area introduced therein. The first and the second space area are partially separated from one another by a separation element. The degassing system includes a controllable pump configured to pump liquid from the first space area to the second space area for a two-stage vacuum degassing process responsive to the pump being operated. The degassing system includes a control device configured to control the pump to not be operated for a single-stage vacuum degassing process and to be operated for a two-stage vacuum degassing process.

  • Publication number: 20190321754
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a degassing system (1, 23) with a control device (17, 36), a degassing tank (2, 24) with a first space area (3, 25) configured for having liquid introduced therein and a second space area (4, 26) configured for having the liquid from the first space area (3, 25) introduced therein. The first and the second space area are partially separated from one another by a separation element (5, 27). A controllable pump (15, 34) is provided, which pumps liquid from the first space area to the second space area for a two-stage vacuum degassing process, when the pump is operated. The control device controls the pump such that the pump will not be operated for a single-stage vacuum degassing process and will be operated for a two-stage vacuum degassing process. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method of executing a degassing process of a liquid making use of a degassing system according to the present invention.
