Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging for the transport and storage of perishable packaging goods according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the outer container consists of a folding box into which the inner container made of plastic film, filled with the goods to be transported and sealed gas-tight after protective gas fumigation, is inserted.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a reusable packaging for particularly sensitive packaging goods such as fresh meat in particular, which ensures an extended shelf life and preservation of fresh appearance of the packaging goods at low cost and so the possibility of delivery of pre-portioned fresh meat industrially ready for sale or the like. Offers food.
  • the packaging according to the invention enables the transport and storage of perishable packaging goods such as pieces of fresh meat that are industrially ready for sale, while ensuring a significantly improved ventilation of the packaging goods with simultaneous separation of secretions, e.g. of juice, which is collected in a separate collecting area below the insert body.
  • the improved gas circulation within the inner container, as made possible by the insert body extends the period of perfect freshness and unchanged appearance considerably, which is particularly important for transport and storage processes, in which the goods are delivered in ready-to-serve portions and without further processing in the level of trade is to be offered and sold to customers.
  • the packaging shown consists in detail of a solid outer container 1, which can be closed by a lid 2, which is preferably stackable and preferably made of plastic, and an inner container 3 made of flexible, preferably cross-linked plastic film, in particular XLPE, which is highly gas-tight and the goods to be transported, preferably pieces of fresh meat.
  • the dimensions of the inner container 3 are matched to those of the transport space in the outer container 1 and closed during transport along a weld seam 5.
  • a protective gas in the interior of the inner container 3 under slight overpressure during the transport.
  • the packaging further comprises a rigid, flat insert body 6 which can be inserted into the inner container 3 and which can be placed on the outer container base with the interposition of inner container film and at least essentially corresponds to this in outline.
  • the insert body 6 provides a support surface for the goods to be transported, which is at a distance from the bottom surface of the outer container 1 and is interrupted by ventilation openings or channels 7, and delimits an intermediate space 9 between its underside and the bottom region of the inner container 3, which also has through openings 8 in the insert body 6 the top of which is connected.
  • the insert body 6 can have a lattice or rust-like shape, as is indicated schematically in FIG. 6, the lattice elements being able to be in the form of round wire, rod, web or pearl cord.
  • the insert body 6 can on opposite side edges with recesses, recesses 10 or the like. 6, as indicated schematically in the embodiment according to FIG. 6, but instead also have upstanding handle parts 11 on opposite side edges, as is illustrated for the insert bodies in FIG. 2.
  • These handle parts can also be designed as spacers for a parallel spaced stacking of a plurality of insert bodies 6 one above the other in a common outer container 1 and thereby either in a common inner container 3 or in separate inner containers 3.
  • upstanding handle parts also have a shaping function on the film of the inner container 3.
  • the insert body 6 according to FIG. 6, as can be seen in FIG. 7, is provided on the underside with projections 12, by means of which it can be supported on the bottom of the outer container 1 at a distance from the floor level.
  • These projections 12 give the insert body 6 a total height at which the bearing surface 13 is at a distance from the bottom plane of the outer container 1 of approximately 5 to 25 mm, preferably 15 mm. This improves ventilation and at the same time creates a sufficiently large intermediate space 9, which accordingly can easily and without impairing the gas circulation in the inner container 3 accommodate juice secretions, which are thereby removed from further contact with the transport goods above the support surface.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate a modified embodiment of the insert body 6.
  • the insert body 6 according to FIGS. 3 to 5 is designed as a plate 16 profiled on the upper and lower sides by depressions or elevations which have a plurality of openings 8 in the recess areas is.
  • the shape of the elevations or depressions in the plate 16, which expediently has a substantially constant wall thickness, can in principle be designed as desired, provided that the insert body 6 has sufficient supporting partial surfaces for the goods to be transported offers and the ventilation openings or channels 7 are sufficiently large to be able to perform their task. This is the case in particular when the support partial surfaces, which are spherical in the example according to FIGS. 3 to 5, are arranged in a grid which is expediently approximately 10-40 mm, preferably approximately 20 mm.
  • the contact or the support partial surfaces are either spherical, generally curved upwards or even. In this way it is ensured that the transported goods are not injured under the support weight, as is to be feared with sharp-edged support partial surfaces, and that the surface pressure moves in an area in which impairments of the transported goods are excluded.
  • the insert body illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5 can be formed by deep drawing or by injection molding and has transverse ribs 19 on which the support partial surfaces 18 are formed in a hemispherical configuration.
  • sufficiently large ventilation openings remain between the adjacent areas 18, and wide and deep ventilation channels 7 remain between the adjacent ribs 19, which overall ensure vigorous gas circulation and purging of the surface of the fresh meat pieces 4.
  • fresh meat is a preferred transport good
  • other sensitive transport goods such as fresh poultry, fresh fish, sausage and cheese etc., also fruits and vegetables and flowers, have a significantly improved shelf life or keeping fresh.
