Description

 Eliminates pressure shocks in

The pressure shocks created by transporting liquids and control processes regulating, opening and closing valves in beverage production systems can be considerable. Because of their pulsating characteristics, they can subject devices, membranes, plate coolers, piping, and similar to unacceptable strain. The purpose of the snubber, which can be integrated into an existing production line as a standalone unit, is to reduce or eliminate these damaging pressure peaks. The snubber is comprised of two vertical interconnecting pipes in which the product is blanketed with a cushion of CO2 or similar gas. The absorbing gas cushion is compressed by inflowing product when a pressure shock occurs. Pressure peaks are thus effectively minimized to a tolerable extent or even completely eliminated. In addition, the stored volume is able to act as a buffer for a brief period when restarting systems after production interruptions until an upstream product pump is able to create the required working pressure. The system is equipped with, among other things, a CIP-able gas pressure control manufactured according to Hygienic Design guidelines.
