It is provided a processing system for processing a liquid or semi-liquid food product. The food product is a composition of a first sub-composition having a low concentration of particles and a second sub-composition having a high concentration of particles. The high concentration is greater than said low concentration. The processing system comprises a first mixing tank for mixing said first sub-composition, a second mixing tank for mixing said second sub-composition, and a heat treatment apparatus arranged to receive said first sub-composition and said second sub-composition and to heat treat said first sub-composition and said second sub-composition.

metering device with a product conduit section, through which a base product forcibly flows, with at least one storage container for an additive, which is connected with an associated metering point respectively via a removal conduit, which is arranged on or respectively in the product conduit section, with a mechanism for forcibly conveying the additive, with quantity-based capturing of the base product and of the additive, with sterile steam and with a control device assigned to the metering device. The metering point is provided within a metering valve, which forms a product chamber, into which the product conduit section opens and from which it exits, an initial chamber and a partial chamber as well as a receiver of an end section and of a terminal side.

A pulse cleaning system for disinfecting untreated grains and pulses. The pulse cleaning system comprises an outer body, a top end, a top outer edge, a bottom end, and a conveyor. The pulse cleaning system is useful in cleaning a dry commodity by inserting the dry commodity into the top end, cleaning the dry commodity within the outer body, releasing the dry commodity at the bottom end, and collecting the dry commodity on the conveyor. The outer body comprises a top opening at the top end, and a bottom opening at the bottom end. each among one or more exterior burner assemblies and an interior chamber strip burner is configured to create variable flame according to an end user's preference, or according to amounts of a fuel provided. after treatment by the pulse cleaning system, the dry commodity is referred to as a treated grains and pulses.

Described are a method and an ultra-high temperature (UHT) system for processing a drinkable plant-based food product under sterile conditions that ensure an extension of the service life in the production cycle and a higher production capacity in a specified period of time. In at least one section of the thermal treatment in which an admixture starts to precipitate from the material solution, i.e., the raw product, above a precipitation temperature, a first pulsed flow is applied to the product-side flow in the interior of a pipe in the course of a pressure increase process. The pulsed flow is superimposed on a second pulsed flow within the product-side flow in the interior of the pipe, where the second flow results from homogenization. The product-side flow in the interior of the pipe is exposed to a highly turbulent flow with a Reynolds number above 30,000.
