Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for packaging margarine and similar products which have the tendency to adhere to the packaging material, as a result of which opening of the packages is made more difficult.
- German Utility Model 79 02 913 it is proposed to decrease considerably the adherence of pasty products to the closure part by providing the closure part, on a side turned towards the products, with a plurality of small, separate cavities.
- the disadvantage of this solution is that the cavities on the inner side, obtained for example by embossing, stand out more or less clearly on the outer side of the closure part and that with relatively thin packaging material satisfactory embossing often cannot be achieved.
- the aim of the invention is therefore to decrease the adherence of the pasty products to the packaging material, also in the case of closure parts which are smooth on their inner side, so that these packages can be opened easily.
- the cavities have an open area of 0.5 mm 2 to 20 mm 2 , preferably 2 2 of 2 mm 2 to 6.5 mm 2 , measured approximately in the plane of the surrounding edges, and a depth of 0.4 to 2.5 mm. They are made in the surface of the product, before the lid is put on, by embossing or by jets of gas, e.g. air, directed against the surface. By placing the lid on the edges of the cavities, each of the cavities filled with air or inert gas is sealed off from the neighbouring cavities. When this is done a monitored small amount of air or inert gas is enclosed in each cavity in the surface of the product. In the closed packages the cavities are not connected with each other.
- each cavity contains a small air cushion with a very slight excess pressure caused by pressing of the closure part against the edges of the cavities. If the cavities are obtained by blowing air against the surface, in that case they form little craters the edges of which are not entirely regular but, as a result of the closure part being pressed down, are brought into a plane with those of the neighbouring cavities, each cavity then being sealed off.
- cavities of any given cross-section can be obtained, e.g. in the form of truncated pyramids.
- the product can be given a substantially smooth surface, for example by a press-on tool, and/or e.g. its surface be solidified to such an extent by cooling that the cavities can be made and for the greater part will last.
- the process is particularly suitable for the packaging of pre-formed portions of margarine of somewhat firmer consistency in erected folding boxes of cardboard material which are to be closed with a lid. However, it can also be applied with beakers or trays which are closed with a plastic lid having a smooth inner side. Finally, the process can also be applied to one or more surfaces of a pre-formed portion which is enclosed by a wrapper.
- the invention relates to the apparatus for carrying out the process, which is distinguished from the known apparatuses e.g. for introducing the product into the package and for closing the package in that it has in addition a device for making the small cavities in the surface of the product, against which a closure part is pressed down.
- This device for making the cavities can be an appropriately profiled die.
- a hollow die with a great number of nozzle-like openings is preferred. Jets of air or gas are blown intermittently against the surface of the product.
- the die can be heatable on its side that is turned towards the product and can be provided with a special coating which, for example, hinders adherence of the product to the die.
- heated gas for the blowing is possible, but local melting of the product by the jets of air should be avoided.
- an appropriately structured roller can be used, under which the unclosed, filled package is transported continuously.
- a portion of margarine 1 is placed in a folding box 2, which is to be closed by a lid 3, the lid 3 being pressed down against the surface 4 of the portion and partly overlapping the front side 5 of the folding box 2.
- a package is difficult to open if adherence of the surface 4 and the lid 3 is not reduced.
- a hollow die 11 with a plurality of small, nozzle-like openings 12 in the side turned towards the surface 4 of the margarine is moved towards the filled, unclosed package (Fig. 1).
- air or a suitable gas is intermittently introduced via a gas supply, which air or gas spreads itself in the hollow space 14 of the die 11 over the openings 12 and creates a small, crater-like cavity 6 under each opening 12 (Fig. 2).
- Fig. 4 shows a cross-section of a part of a package with enclosed product of which the surface 4 is substantially smooth.
- Fig. 5 shows the cavities 6 made by blowing, which have edges 7 pressed upwards to some extent in a surface 4.
- the lid has been put on and pressed down, the edges 7 being brought into a plane and the separate cavities being sealed off with respect to each other.
- Fig. 7 shows a die 21 which is profiled on its under-side with a plurality of pins or similar projections which have the form of a pyramid or a truncated cone and, for example, are staggered.
- the die 21 is pressed partly into a surface of a product and hereby embosses a pattern of many tiny cups or suchlike, corresponding to its profiling, which, however, are likewise independent of each other.
- the sum of all cross-sectional areas of the cavities must be at least approximately 10% of the total surface area of the product.
- the maximum of the sum of the cross-sectional areas depends on the size of the separate cavities and on the total surface area as well as on the firmness of the product.
