Abstract: Device for mixing the contents of a tank comprising a first pipe connecting body arranged on a connecting flange of a tank; a riser pipe extending through the first pipe connecting body into the tank; a mixing pipe extending through said first pipe connecting body into said tank; and a pump whose outlet can be connected at least to the mixing pipe and whose inlet can be connected both to the first pipe connecting body and to the riser pipe. Further a method for mixing the contents of a tank is claimed.

Abstract: Device 1 for mixing the contents of a tank 10 comprising a first pipe connecting body 20 arranged on a connecting flange 14 of a tank 10; a riser pipe 40 extending through the first pipe connecting body 20 into the tank; a mixing pipe 50 extending through said first pipe connecting body 20 into said tank; and a pump 60 whose outlet 64 can be connected at least to the mixing pipe 50 and whose inlet 62 can be connected both to the first pipe connecting body 20 and to the riser pipe 40. Further a method for mixing the contents of a tank is claimed.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an arrangement and a method for the automatic sampling in a storage tank system (1) interconnected to a pipe system (4) for supplying cleaning fluids, particularly in processing systems that are subject to high microbiological quality requirements in the food and beverage industry, particularly in breweries, with a storage tank system (1) that consists of several tanks and a sampling device (5) that is respectively associated with all tanks via permanent pipework. The invention ensures that the entire sampling system including all valves integrated therein can be cleaned and sterilized in a flow-through fashion regardless of the respective content of the tanks. Furthermore, the sampling should take place without a loss of the fluid to be sampled. This is procedurally achieved in that a volume flow Q(P) of the fluid (P) to be sampled is diverted from a selected tank (1.
