Device comprises a heat exchanger fed with the food product and/or degasser, which is connected upstream or after a pressure reducing device. The pressure reducing device comprises at least one brake pump traversed by the food product under differential pressure. An independent claim is also included for treating a solid-containing liquid food product, which is fed into the device, comprising conveying the food product under pressure through at least one brake pump and reducing the pressure completely or to a lower pressure through a drive of the brake pump. In einer Vorrichtung (V) zum Behandeln eines Feststoffe (T) enthaltenden, flüssigen Lebensmittelproduktes (P) mit einem mit dem Lebensmittelprodukt (P) unter Druck (P1) beschickten Wärmetauscher (W) und/oder mit einem reduzierten Druck (P3) beschickten Entgaser (E), dem eine Druckreduziervorrichtung (D) nach- bzw. vorgeschaltet ist, weist die Druckreduziervorrichtung (D) wenigstens eine von dem Lebensmittelprodukt (P) durchströmte Bremspumpe (8) auf. Verfahrensgemäß wird der Druck, mit dem das Lebensmittelprodukt (P) durch die Bremspumpe (8) hindurchgefördert wird, über eine Antriebsbewegung der Bremspumpe (8) abgebaut.
