Abstract: A mixing unit (1) for mixing a liquid product (2) includes a tank (3) and a fluid nozzle (4) configured to inject a fluid flow (6, 7) of the liquid product (2) into the tank (3). The fluid nozzle (4) has a first outlet (20) that opens in a sideways direction (S), a second outlet (21) that opens in an upward direction (U), and a valve plug (14) configured to selectively open and close the outlets (20, 21). The mixing unit (1) is operable in a low stage operational mode (9) during which the first outlet (20) is open, the second outlet (21) is closed, and mixing occurs in a lower region (10) of the tank (3), and a high stage operational mode (11) during which the first outlet (20) is closed, the second outlet (21) is open, and mixing occurs in an upper region (12) of the tank (3).

Abstract: A dust collection device and method for filtering powder from powder-filled air in a food product processing system. The dust collection device includes a venturi mixer having an inlet for receiving powder-filled air, a liquid inlet for receiving liquid, and a nozzle. The nozzle is arranged to eject the liquid into a mixing zone of the venturi mixer. The powder-filled air and the liquid meet in the mixing zone to form a liquid mixture. The dust collection device includes a chamber that receives the liquid mixture from the mixing zone, a recirculation line that feeds the liquid mixture back to the liquid inlet of the venturi mixer, and an air outlet that discharges air from the chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container emptying device (1) for emptying at least one container (6) filled with a liquid, comprising a suction unit (2), a receiving unit (4) and a pipe unit (3) connecting the receiving unit (4) with the suction unit (2). The suction unit (2) comprises at least one suction lance (2a) adapted to be inserted and lowered into the container (6), at least one pump (2c), connecting the suction lance (2a) with the pipe unit (3), for pumping the liquid out of the container (6) and a control device for controlling a suction process. The pipe unit (3) comprises at least one flexible pipe for transporting the liquid out of the container (6).

Abstract: A baffle pipe segment (1) as obstacle in a flow of a target liquid through the baffle pipe segment (1), comprising a baffle element (3) arranged in the path of the target liquid, wherein a slit (14) for passage of the target liquid is formed between a segment hull (8) of the baffle pipe segment (1) and the baffle element (3). The baffle element (3) comprises at least one first positive curvature (3a) towards the input side. The slit (14) is delimited by an inner wall (14a) and an outer wall (14b), wherein the inner wall (14a) is formed by a wall section of the baffle element (3) and the outer wall (14b) of the slit (14) is formed by a section of the segment hull (8). The slit (14) extends in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal axis (z) along a section of the circumference of the segment hull (8). And an injector device (7) with such a baffle pipe segment (1) and a dissolving installation (50) with such an injector device (7).

Abstract: The invention relates to a stirring installation (1) for stirring a liquid and/or a paste in a container (10), comprising an actuating means (5) arranged outside the container (10) and a stirring means (2, 8, 9) arranged inside the container (10) comprising at least two blades (2). The stirring means (2, 8, 9) is rotatably coupled to the actuating means (5) by a coupling element (3), in such a way that the blades (2) are movably attached with a first end to at least a bearing (4) of the coupling element (3). During a rotation of the coupling element (3), the blades (2) are pivotable around the bearing (4) due to the influence of the centrifugal force. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for stirring a liquid in the container (10) by means of the stirring installation (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (30) for continuously producing a liquid product (P) comprising at least two liquid components (k1, k2) that can be pumped, wherein the system comprises two storage tanks (1a, 1b) for each component (k1, k2), two mass-flow control circuits (2a, 2b) for the storage tanks (1a, 1b) for establishing a target mass flow of the component (k1, k2), a first line (9a) into which the components of the liquid product (P) are fed, a second line (9b) for feeding in carbon dioxide, and a filling tank (1c), wherein the first line (9a) feeds the liquid product (P) mixed with carbon dioxide into the filling tank (1c), wherein the storage tanks (1a, 1b) and the filling tank (1c) are designed as pressure vessels and are interconnected by means of at least one pressure equalization line (1) for establishing a pressure equalization between the storage tanks (1a, 1b) and the filling tank (1c).
