Description
TH/bs 020101W0 30. Juli 2004 METROD FOR THE STERILISATION OF A PRODUCT
PACKAQED IN A PACKINQ
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus to sterilize a product packaged in a packing, where the package comprising the product and the packing is subjected to a heat treatment at a specific temperature and for a specific duration.
It has been known for a long time to subject products packaged in portions such as food to a so-called autoclave method. Cans, for example, that have been filled with a food product, are hereby exposed to a specific temperature in an autoclave for a specific duration to safely kill the germs in the package. Cans have particularly proven themselves for this purpose as they are insensitive to the conditions in the autoclave (high temperature, high humidity).
If, however, food products, or other products that require sterilization, are not packaged in cans but in a different packing, the packing must first be sterilized -requiring a relatively high amount of additional efforts -, then the product must be filled into the packing and eventually the packing must be closed aseptically.
The carton or plastic composite packages axe also able to hold products such as milk or mashed vegetables for a longer period of time.

2~~bs ozoloiwo DE-A-36 26 616 describes a method for sterilizing a product in a bag, wherein product and bag are being sterilized in an autoclave. First, the bag is put into a protecting casing, then the protective casing is evacuated and closed and, finally, the closed bag packed in the protective casing is autoclave. Each bag has a single protective casing which remains after the autoclaving at the bag. In consequence, the protective casing is an integral part of the bag to be sterilized.
EP-A1-0 982 236 also describes a method for sterilizing products protectively packaged, wherein each product is placed within a packaging tray including a nest area for carrying the product is put in a protective bag and finally vacuum sealed. Now, product and bag are packed into a package capable of autoclaving and sterilized in an autoclave consecutively.
The object of the invention is to enhance and develop this method and the corresponding apparatus to sterilize a package in order to also allow the use of packages that would usually not be able to withstand the conditions in an autoclave.
In regards to the method, the object is solved by means of the following steps:
- Introduction of at least one package into a protective casing, - Evacuation of the apace between protective casing and package, TH/be 020101W0 - Closing of the protective casing hermetically, - Autoclaving of the protective casing and package in an autoclave, and - Removing of protective casing from the package after the autoclaving.
Alternatively, the object is solved by the steps of following sequence:
- Introduction of at least one package into a protective casing, - Closing of the protective casing, - Evacuation of the space between protective casing and package, and - Autoclaving of the protective casing and gackage in an autoclave.
In regards to the apparatus, the object is solved with one of each of the following units downstream of the filling unit: one repackaging unit, one evacuation unit, one autoclave unit and, if required, one unpacking unit, and a protection system comprising at least one base plate for the reception of multiple packages and at least one protective casing covering the packages, wherein the space between base plate and protective casing can be evacuated.
TH/be 020101W0 q _ According to the invention, the repackaged product to be sterilized, such as a carton composite package filled with food products to be sterilized, and sensitive to water, is protected from the penetration of water and gas. The protective casing prevents any negative impairment of the carton composite package due to the autoclave water. The additional packing of the protective casing ensures that neither water nor gas can penetrate into the packing material of the package. This ensures that neither the shape of the package nor the quality of the product is impaired.
With the invention less complex and therefore cheaper composite materials can be used. It is also possible to use printing colors which are more susceptible to water (cheaper?. Moreover, higher temperatures can be achieved within the autoclaves and therefore, shorter process times, the quality in taste of food can be increased.
