Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0204097A2] After preliminary cleaning, the tanker container is subjected to steam which is filtered in a steam filter (26) and introduced via a feed line (9). A vacuum valve (4) is blocked in the open position, whilst a bottom shut-off member (10) is throttled until a relief valve (5) is pushed open. After steam has passed through for a relatively long time at a pressure set at the relief valve (5), air made sterile in an air filter (27) is introduced for the purpose of cooling and drying the tanker container (1). After a product line (15) and a flow heater (20) have also been subjected to steam, the product to be transported is subjected in the flow heater (20) to brief heating with subsequent cooling and is then conveyed into the tanker container (1). Since the product itself is also introduced sterile into the tanker container (1), the product can be transported from the place of production to the place of consumption without any special measures. Nevertheless, the product arrives at the place of consumption unchanged and sterile and can go directly into production there. <IMAGE>
