A device for thermally treating products, especially food and beverages, is provided with a thermal element improved in its heat-exchanging efficiency, which is brought into surface contact with the goods to be treated and the selection of a thermal medium suited to establish any desired temperature of the goods and can be charged into the thermal element. For this purpose, the heat-exchanger wall of the thermal element is built in wall sections in order to form a closed unit with the goods to be treated and the thermal element is kept in mutual surface contact and the remaining wall portions form together with the heat-exchanger wall a tightly closable container for the thermal medium having at least one filling and discharge opening, provided with an openable closing element for the thermal medium. The thermal element can be built with basically rigid walls, comprising wall portions fitting the shape of the goods to be treated. However, it is also possible to build the thermal element with flexible walls, whereby it can be adjusted to the shape of each product to be treated.

1. A device for the thermal treatment of products, especially food and beverages, comprising a container for holding a thermal medium, said container defining a thermal element having walls which are at least partially formed as heat conductive walls, said heat conductive walls being formed in sections having a shape complementry to the product to be treated for maximum heat exchange when one of said sections and said product are brought into mutual surface contact, said container being formed with at least one filling and discharge opening provided with an opening and closing element for said thermal medium, the sections of said thermal element being rigid, with at least one section being formed as a concave segment of a cylinder, said concave segment having a frontal edge thereof formed with a recess for receiving radially extending can rims. 2. A device for the thermal treatment of products, especially food and beverages, comprising a container for holding a thermal medium, said container defining a thermal element having walls which are at least partially formed as heat conductive walls, said heat conductive walls being formed in sections having a shape complementry to the product to be treated for maximum heat exchange when one of said sections and said product are brought into mutual surface contact, the sections of said thermal element being rigid, with at least one section being formed as a concave segment of a cylinder, said concave segment having a frontal edge thereof formed with a recess for receiving radially extending can rims, the interior of said container being divided into at least two compartments separated by a dividing wall, said dividing wall being formed with a passageway communicating between said compartments, said passageway being provided with a shutter actuatable from outside of said container for opening and closing said passageway, each of said compartments being formed with at least one filling and discharge opening provided with an opening and closing element for said thermal medium. 3. A device for the thermal treatment of products, especially food and beverages, comprising a container for holding a thermal medium, said container defining a thermal element having walls which are at least partially formed as heat conductive walls, said heat conductive walls being formed in sections having a shape complementry to the product to be treated for maximum heat exchange when one of said sections and said product are brought into mutual surface contact, said container being formed with at least one filling and discharge opening provided with an opening and closing element for said thermal medium, the sections of said thermal element being rigid, with at least one section being formed as a concave segment of a cylinder, said concave segment having a frontal edge thereof formed with a recess for receiving a rim of a can. 4. The device defined in claim 3 wherein said recess is formed by a retainer protruding from said frontal edge for gripping behind an axially extending can rim. 5. The device defined in claim 4 wherein all of said sections are formed as concave segments of a cylinder with the frontal edges thereof being formed with said retainers protruding therefrom. 6. The device defined in claim 3 wherein at least one of said sections is formed with a substantially flat bottom with the concave segment thereof disposed perpendicular to said bottom. 7. The device defined in claim 3 wherein said filling and discharge opening is surrounded by an annular recess adapted to receive a connecting ring whereby said container can be joined to another container. 8. The device defined in claim 3 wherein said container is provided with a carrier for the transportation thereof, said carrier being formed with concavities juxtaposed with respective sections of said heat conductive walls forming therewith respective holding compartments for said products, said concavities having substantially the same radius of curvature as the respective sections. 9. The device defined in claim 8 wherein said container and said carrier are provided with bottom portions for closing the lower ends of the respective holding compartments. 10. The device defined in claim 9 wherein said bottom portions are formed by projections of said thermal element for holding said thermal medium. 11. The device defined in claim 8 wherein the upper ends of said holding compartments are closable by at least one lid pivotally mounted on said carrier. 12. The device defined in claim 3 wherein the interior of said container is divided into at least two compartments, each of said compartments being formed with at least one of said filling and discharge openings. 13. The device defined in claim 12 wherein said compartments are separated by a dividing wall formed with a passageway communicating between said compartments, said passageway being provided with a shutter actuatable from outside of said container for opening and closing said passageway. 14. The device defined in claim 3 wherein said filling and discharge opening is formed in an end of said container remote from the heat conductive walls thereof. 15. The device defined in claim 3 wherein said opening and closing element is threadedly engaged to said container in the closed position thereof. 16. The device defined in claim 3 wherein said opening and closing element is a tube provided with a screen and insertable into the filling and discharge openings of opposed containers whereby the respective interiors of said containers are in communication through said tube.
