Embodiment Construction

[0037] Figure 1a with Figure 1b A generalized embodiment of a current food processing system 100 is shown. The food product contained in the tank 102 can be processed in three processing steps carried out in three different devices - a first unit 104, a second unit 106, a third unit 108 - such as : Separators, heat exchangers, homogenizers or other food processing equipment in different configurations.

[0038] exist Figure 1a During the production state shown in , the first valve 110 is provided to enable food product to flow from the tank 102 to the first unit 104 . Similarly, a second valve 112 is provided to enable the processed food product to flow from the third unit 108 to eg a packaging machine, not shown here.

[0039] exist Figure 1b During the cleaning state shown in , the first valve 110 is provided to enable water or cleaning fluid contained in the CIP tank 114 to flow from the CIP tank 114 to the first unit 104 . The second valve 112 is provided so that w...

Abstract

A liquid processing system is provided, comprising a number of sub-systems (204, 206, 208, 304, 306, 308) handling a liquid product, said liquid product being transferred between said sub-systems (204, 206, 208, 304, 306, 308) during processing of said liquid product. The liquid processing system further comprises a number of secondary sub-systems (234, 236, 238, 334, 336, 338) connectable to said sub-systems (204, 206, 208, 304, 306, 308) respectively, each secondary sub-system (234, 236, 238, 334, 336, 338) having an associated measuring device (216, 222, 224, 316, 322, 324), such that product losses or water consumption, caused by at least one secondary sub-system (234, 236, 238, 334, 336, 338) being connected to a corresponding sub-system (216, 222, 224, 316, 322, 324) of the liquid processing system (200), can be measured for each secondary sub-system (234, 236, 238, 334, 336, 338); individually.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of liquid handling. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sub-subsystem having several sub-systems respectively connected to said liquid treatment system, so that product loss and water consumption can be observed and accurately predicted. Background technique [0002] A liquid handling line consists of a number of machine units arranged one behind the other. For example, a dairy processing line may include, for example, a separator to separate denser particles such as dust from the milk; a heat exchanger to reduce the amount of harmful microorganisms by heating the milk; and a homogenizer A device for evenly distributing the fat in the milk. [0003] When changing from one product to another, when starting a cleaning process, or stopping product processing in any other way, it is important to ensure that as much product as possible in the line is collected. Therefore, it is common...
