Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (1) zur Hochdruckbehandlung von Produkten (2), insbesondere von verpackten Lebensmitteln. Die Vorrichtung (1) weist eine Hochdruckkammer (3) und ein Auslassventil (19) zum Auslassen von Hochdruckmedium (12) aus der Hochdruckkammer (3) auf. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein steuerbares Stellglied (20) vorgesehen ist, mittels dessen die Rate des Druckabbaus in der Hochdruckkammer (3) zumindest über einen vorgegebenen Druckbereich regelbar ist.The device (1) comprises a high-pressure chamber (3), an outlet valve for discharging a high-pressure medium (12) from the high-pressure chamber, and a regulatable or controllable actuator (20), by which the rate of the pressure reduction in the high-pressure chamber is regulatable over a predetermined pressure range. The actuator is continuously adjustable, so that the rate of the pressure reduction is continuously adjustable. The actuator has a pressure intensifier, and is controllable by the pressure ruling in a pressure line, by an engine or by a compressed air.

The actuator is continuously adjustable, so that the rate of the pressure reduction is continuously adjustable. The actuator has a pressure intensifier, and is controllable by the pressure ruling in a pressure line, by an engine or by a compressed air or is hydraulically controllable. The outlet valve is a non-return valve, which adjusts itself in relation to the acceleration force. The device has a shut-off valve and a three-way valve that are provided between the high-pressure chamber and the outlet valve, where a first exit of the three-way valve guides to the outlet valve and a second exit of
