Abstract:
Apparatus for treating pumpable products by electrical pulses, comprising:at least one treatment chamber formed by at least two modules, and having a first end and an opposite second end, and a flow channel extending between said ends for pumping a product therethrough;a first end electrode at said first end, and means for applying a first voltage to said first end electrode;a second end electrode at said second end, and means for applying a second voltage to said second end electrode, said first voltage being lower than said second voltage;a generator circuit for generating voltage pulses to be applied to said electrode; andat least one intermediate electrode positioned between said end electrodes, and means for applying a third voltage to said intermediate electrode, said third voltage having a level between said first voltage and said second voltage.
