Abstract

A food storage cabinet is located within a chilled chamber and holds non-wrapped animal or vegetable products that are removed for use as required. The food storage cabinet has an internal atmosphere of conservation gas that is recycled into a holding bottle prior to opening the cabinet door, and released back into the cabinet after the door has closed. The conservation gas is maintained at above ambient atmospheric pressure within the cabinet. During a meat maturing phase of storage, the internal pressure is varies by e.g. 990 mbar or more at intervals. The conservation gas is exposed to an ultraviolet sterilization lamp and an ozone generator.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Reifung bzw. Konservierung von tierischen bzw. Pflanzlich hergestellten Produkten, die jederzeit nach ihrer Entnahme ohne zusätzlichen Verfahrenstechnischen Aufwand eine Wiedereinlagerung zur weiteren Reifung bzw. Konservierung ermöglicht.The The invention relates to a process for maturation or preservation of animal or vegetable products, at any time after their removal without additional Procedural effort a restocking to further Maturation or preservation possible.

Bisher bekannte Verfahren, die diese Produkte üblicherweise Umweltbelastend und zeitintensiv in nicht wieder Verwendbare Behältnisse wie beispielsweise Vakuumbeutel bzw. Kunstofffolien Verpakt bzw. eingeschweißt und gekühlt lagerten mußten, nach der Entnahme und Teilweisem Verbrauch diese verbleibenden Lebensmittel in gleicher Qualität wieder Und vor allem zeitintensiv verpackt werden, und zur erneuten Einlagerung gebracht werden. Darüber existieren Verpackungsverfahren, die diese genannten Lebensmittel durch Begasung haltbar machen. Dabei werden üblicherweise einzelne Kleinverpackungen Zu einem großem Gebinde zusammengefaßt und anschließend begast.So far known methods that usually pollute these products and time-consuming in non-reusable containers such as Vacuum bag or Kunstofffolia Verpakt or welded and stored refrigerated had to after removal and partial consumption of these remaining food in the same quality again And above all time-consuming packaging, and for re-storage to be brought. About that There are packaging methods that use these foods preserved by fumigation. Usually, individual small packages are used To a big one Bundled bundles and subsequently fumigated.

Werden aus diesem Gebinde eine oder mehrere Kleinverpakunen entnommen, so wird Der Begasungseffekt aus dem Gesamtgebinde zunichte gemacht d.h. das die Haltbarkeit Der verbleibenden Einzelverpackungen einem zügigen Verbrauch zugeführt werden muß. Es sei denn, das erneut ein Gebinde mit den restlichen Einzelverpackungen erstellt und Begast wird. Auch dieser Verfahrensabschnitt ist sehr zeitintensiv.Become taken from this container one or more small packages, This destroys the fumigation effect from the total package i.e. that the durability of the remaining single packages one spacious Consumption supplied must become. Unless that is again a container with the remaining individual packaging created and fumigated. Also this process section is very time-consuming.

Ein gravierender Nachteil bei vakuumverschweisten Produkten ist trotz Qalitätskontrolle Eine nicht zu Hundert Prozent sicherstellende Versiglung des Produktes.One serious disadvantage in vacuum-sealed products is despite Qalitätskontrolle A not to 100 percent assuring Versiglung the product.

Da sich beim Verschweißen der Vakuumbeutel Fehler, beispielsweise durch Fettanhaftung bzw. durch Überlappungen usw. einstellen können, besteht die Gefahr einer nicht Vakuumdichten Verpakungseinheit.There during welding the vacuum bag error, for example, by fat adhesion or overlaps etc. can set, there is a risk of a non-vacuum-tight packaging unit.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die eine Reife- bzw. Konserfirungsprozess ohne aufwendige Verpakungs- bzw. Konserfirungsaufwand ermöglichen.Of the Invention has for its object to provide a device the one maturing or Konserfirungsprozess without consuming packaging or Conservation effort allow.

Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einem verschliesbaren und wiederverwertbaren Behältnis. Die Auskleidung des Behältnisses ist üblicherweise aus Lebensmittelechtem Material, Beispielsweise aus nichtrostendem Edelstahl gefertigt. Zur Vervahrenstechnischen Ausrüstung des Behältnisses gehören eine regelbare Evakuirungseinheit, eine Begasunseinrichtung zur Konservierung, sowie eine Entkeimungseinheit, die beispielsweise Aus einer UV- Lichtquelle, bzw. aus einer Kombination einer UV- Lichtquelle in Verbindung der Erzeugung von Ozon bzw. aus einer elektrostatischen Entkeimungseinheit bestehen kann.The Device consists of a closable and recyclable Container. The lining of the container is usually made of food-grade material, for example of stainless steel Made of stainless steel. Regarding the technical equipment of the container belong one adjustable evacuation unit, a gassing facility for preservation, and a sterilization unit, for example, from a UV light source, or from a combination of a UV light source in combination of Generation of ozone or consist of an electrostatic sterilization unit can.

Eine weitere Einheit bildet ein System welches das Konservirungsgas vor öffnen des Behältnisses in einen Voratsbehälter absaugt, um nach Beendigung, der Entnahme das Gas zur erneuten Nutzung in das Behältnis zurückführt.A Another unit is a system which opens the preservative gas before opening container in a Voratsbehälter aspirates, after completion, the removal of the gas for reuse in the container returns.

Ein Ausfürunsbeispiel der Erfindung ist im folgenden anhand, und der beigefügten Zeichnung Näher beschrieben und es stellen dar:One Ausfürunsbeispiel The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and closer and it shows:

11

Die 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung bestehend aus einem Behältnis Pos. 1, die hier beispielhaft
Rechtecksförmig in nichtrostender Edelstahl- Ausführung dargestellt ist. Das Behältnis wird Nach dem Einlegen der Ware mit einer Türe Pos. 2 luftdicht verschlossen. Nach dem Verschlissen beginnt zuerst der sogenannte Evakuirungsablauf. Dazu wird über eine Steuerung
Pos. 10 , die zunächst den Befehl an die Evakuirungspumpe in der Evakuirungseinheit Pos. 3 erteilt. Nach beendigter Evakuirung wird über eine Steuerung Pos. 10 das Ventil in der Konservirungseinheit Pos. 5 geöffnet, so das Konservirungsgas in das Behältnis Pos. 1 einströmen kann. In Abhängigkeit des zu behandelten Produktes wird der Gasdruck im Regelfall
Dem Atmosphärendruck angeglichen.The 1 shown device consisting of a container Pos. 1, the example here
Rectangular shaped in stainless steel design. The container is airtight After inserting the goods with a door pos. After wiping begins first the so-called evacuation process. This is done via a controller
Pos. 10, which first issued the command to the evacuation pump in the Evakuirungseinheit Pos. 3. After completion of the evacuation, the valve in the preservation unit Pos. 5 is opened via a control Pos. 10, so that the preservative gas can flow into the receptacle Pos. 1. Depending on the product to be treated, the gas pressure is usually
Adjusted to atmospheric pressure.

Nach Abschluß des Konservirungsprozesses kann im Bedarfsfall die Entkeimungseinheit Pos. 4 Aktiviert werden.To Completion of the Preservation process can, if necessary, the sterilization unit Pos. 4 Activated.

Im Falle der Produktentnahme wird zuerst über die Steuerung Pos. 10 die Recycling- Gas Einheit Pos. 6 aktiviert und das im Behältnis enthaltene Konservierungsgas gespeichert. Nach Beendigung des Recycling- Prozesses kann das Behältnis zur Entnahme des Produktes Belüftet bzw. geöffnet werden.in the If the product is removed, the control unit Pos Recycling gas unit Pos. 6 activated and the preservative gas contained in the container saved. After completion of the recycling process, the container for removal of the product Ventilated or opened become.
