  • Patent number: 11751587
    Abstract: Method for operating a tunnel pasteuriser with a plurality of sequentially successive treatment zones, wherein containers with a product packed therein are transported by means of a conveying device through the treatment zones and are heated with treatment media having different actual media temperatures, are pasteurized and preferably then cooled again, wherein the actual media temperatures are detected by a control unit and compared with target media temperatures, and wherein heating and/or cooling devices are controlled based on the comparison, characterised in that during the treatment of the containers, initial values for an optimisation are formed from the actual media temperatures of the treatment zones, and the target media temperatures are determined by means of a prediction model for determining the expected degree of pasteurisation with the optimisation, such that at least a minimum degree of pasteurisation of the containers is achieved.

    Abstract: Method for operating a tunnel pasteuriser with a plurality of sequentially successive treatment zones, wherein containers with a product packed therein are transported by means of a conveying device through the treatment zones and in so doing are heated with treatment media having different actual media temperatures, are pasteurized and preferably then cooled again, wherein the actual media temperatures are detected by a control unit and compared with target media temperatures, and wherein heating and/or cooling devices are controlled based on the comparison, characterised in that during the treatment of the containers, initial values for an optimisation are formed from the actual media temperatures of the treatment zones, and the target media temperatures are determined by means of a prediction model for determining the expected degree of pasteurisation with the optimisation, such that at least a minimum degree of pasteurisation of the containers is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20100224575
    Abstract: An improved device and a method for processing cleaning fluids, with the device including at least one flushable coarse filter for coarsely filtering the cleaning fluid, a cross-flow filter for finely filtering the coarse filtrate from the at least one coarse filter, a return line through which the coarse filtrate is fed through the cross-flow filter in a circuit, a flushing device for flushing the coarse filter, and a drain branching off from the circuit and connected to the flushing device for flushing the coarse filter with the coarse filtrate fed through the cross-flow filter in the circuit.
