Abstract

A method and apparatus for the conduct of a continuous pro-cess in which commodities packed in light weight containers receive thermal treatment, such as sterilization or cooking, and are thereaf-ter cooled in a hydrostatic cooling tower. The cooling tower is divided into a plurality of sections in each of which apparatus is pro-vided for the independent control of fluid pressure and fluid tempera-ture therein. The containers are conducted through the system by means of a conveyor that is arranged in each cooling tower section for the vertical displacement of the conveyor course through the sections, whereby the cooling ramp of the respective containers can be effectively regulated.
