<p>An apparatus for sterilising and/or homogenising fluid products e.g. milk, whey or processed chesses, by the injection of steam has a T-shaped body formed by a straight tube (1) and a tubular arm (2) for introducing the fluid product and a steam injection nozzle (5) disposed axially in the inlet end (3) of the tube (1) and opening into a mixing region (12) at the junction between the arm (2) and the tube (1). The inner wall (11) of the nozzle (5) converges downstream onto a short passage (9) of constant cross-section which opens into the mixing region (12) and a mixing screen (6) is disposed in the tube (1) at a distance downstream from the outlet (8) of the passage (9) of the nozzle (5). <IMAGE></p> |
