Abstract

An apparatus and method for pressure processing a pumpable substance, such as a pumpable food product or slurry. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a pressure vessel (10) having an inlet valve (20a) toward one end and outlet valve (20b) toward the other end. A flexible bladder (50) is coupled between the inlet and outlet valves (20a, 20b) for receiving the pumpable substance. The pressure vessel (10) can further include a high-pressure inlet port (40) for receiving high-pressure fluid that biases the membrane (50) inwardly to pressure process the pumpable substance. The pumpable substance is then removed from the vessel through the outlet valve (20b).
