ABSTRACT:
A pasteurizing apparatus has a conveyor for longitudinally displacing containers to be pasteurized along a treatment path, a manifold extending longitudinally along the path between the path ends, and a multiplicity of longitudinally spaced sprayers connected to the manifold and directed transversely at the containers in the path, whereby each container passes under a succession of such sprayers while moving between the path ends. Conduits connected to the manifold at upstream and downstream locations and at a central location therebetween feed respective liquids at different temperatures to the locations and therethrough to the manifolds. A multiplicity of transverse partitions spaced axially along the manifold are each displaceable between a closed position substantially longitudinally blocking the manifold and an open position longitudinally unblocking it. Each partition is spaced longitudinally by at least one such sprayer from the adjacent partitions so that the partitions could subdivide the manifold into a multiplicity of compartments into one of which the upstream conduit opens, into another of which the downstream conduit opens, and into a third of which the central conduit opens. The partitions are selectively and controllably displaced between their positions to subdivide the manifold longitudinally into upstream, downstream, and central zones into which the respective conduits open.
