Abstract: A food handling apparatus (1) comprising a container (2), a door (3) for allowing access to the container (2), and at least one locking device (4) for sealing the door (3) against the container (2). The locking device (4) comprises a stationary sliding pin (5) and a 5 rotational unit (6) arranged to receive the sliding pin (5), where the rotational unit (6) has a base portion (7) and a handle (8) for rotating the base portion (7) in relation to the sliding pin (5). The base portion (7) comprises an engagement surface (9) for slidable engagement with the sliding pin (5), and the engagement surface (9) is inclined such that a force applied on the sliding pin (5) by the engagement surface (9) gradually 10 increases when the base portion (7) is rotated in relation to the sliding pin (5), to thereby press and seal the door (3) against the container (2).

Abstract: A discharge valve (100) for discharging a food product may be arranged at a low point of a vessel. The discharge valve comprises a valve body (101), a valve seat (103), a valve plug (105) and an arm (107). The valve plug is attached to a first end (121) of the arm and a second end (123) of the arm is attached to a pivot point (125) that is arranged inside the valve body. The arm is configured to pivot the valve plug between a valve closed position (162), where the valve plug abuts the valve seat, and a valve open position where the valve plug is pivoted away from the valve seat, to a location where the valve plug is positioned at least partly within the valve body.
