  • Patent number: 11358186
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connector head (12) comprising an interior space (40), a tank connector (13) which is in fluid communication with the interior space (40) and which can be fluidly connected to a valve apparatus (10) mounted on the tank (9) for filling or emptying the tank (9), a product port (14) in fluid communication with the interior space (40) and a discharge port (33) in fluid communication with the interior space (40). To allow a tank to be filled and emptied under improved hygienic conditions, it is proposed that the connector head (12) comprises a first valve (29), with which first valve (29) the product port (14) can be shut off from the interior space (40), a second valve (34), with which second valve (34) the discharge port (33) can be shut off from the interior space (40), and a cleaning device (38) adapted and arranged to clean the interior space (40) and the tank connector (13). The invention also relates to a valve block.

  • Patent number: 9932548
    Abstract: A filtration system for clarifying a cloudy beverage from at least one tank in which dregs have formed, the clarifying occurring through a cross-flow filtration. The filtration system includes: a first filtration module having a first filtration element, the first filtration element including a first channel having a first diameter; and, a second filtration circuit located in parallel to the first filtration circuit, the second filtration circuit including a second filtration module having a second filtration element, the second filtration element including a second channel having a second diameter, the second diameter being larger than the first diameter. A method for filtering a cloudy beverage from at least one tank in which dregs have formed, the method using the just-described filtration system.
