Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3772284A1] An infusion system and a method for heating a liquid or semi liquid food product is disclosed herein. The system comprises an infusion chamber to which the food product to be heated is supplied in the upper area. The heated food product is discharged in the lower area. The food product to be heated enters the infusion chamber and flows down through the infusion chamber as a freely falling downward flow. Steam is supplied to the upper area of the infusion chamber. The steam is in direct heat exchange with the product steam. The food product is supplied to the infusion chamber as a ring-shaped product flow from a suspended ring-shaped product inlet inside the upper area of the infusion chamber. Steam is introduced into the infusion chamber through a single steam inlet passage which provides steam into the infusion chamber via one or more steam inlet openings in the top wall of the infusion chamber. Said steam inlet opening or openings in the infusion chamber top surrounds the ring-shaped product inlet and are arranged between the suspended ring-shaped product outlet and the outer wall of the infusion chamber. A simple control and reduced costs for the installation is achieved by the combination of a suspended product distribution and a simpler steam distribution system.
