Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for packaging flowable products, in particular Food or pharmaceuticals, taking one before closing the packaging Inert gas is introduced into the product, where gaseous argon is used as the inert gas and is flowable Product is solved.
  • Document US-A-4 769 974 describes a method with these characteristics.
  • Carbon dioxide-containing beverages cause comparatively little packaging Problems, because the one already wanted here for taste reasons Carbon dioxide content of the drink at the same time as degassing the oxygen and Building the necessary internal packaging pressure can be used.
  • a carbon dioxide metering system for entry of gaseous carbon dioxide in the filled with the product, still unsealed packaging.
  • the present invention has for its object a method and a To provide device for packaging products with which the problems described can be overcome.
  • the basic idea of the invention was that with the dosage of cryogenic Liquid nitrogen associated disadvantages through the use of a gaseous Avoid inert gas.
  • a gas should be found which is sufficient e.g. B. in Water is soluble to be used in conventional packaging, e.g. B. PET bottles or Cans, after sealing a desired internal pressure in the packaging produce.
  • the gas had to be oxygen free and should be in conventional pressure swing degassing systems for good oxygen expulsion to care. Since the gas is also suitable for hot filled products, e.g. B. bottled at 70 ° C. If iced tea was to be used, the gas sought also had to meet these requirements at such high temperatures.
  • Argon offers the great advantage that it contributes in the same way as carbon dioxide existing packaging systems can be used. All sealing elements, Regulators and valves that are suitable for carbon dioxide can also be used for argon be used. Compared to conventional carbon dioxide operation, it needs entire regulation of a packaging system not to be changed. In particular when packaging food it proves particularly advantageous that argon is odorless and tasteless.
  • the argon when the argon is introduced into the product, pressure, temperature and amount of the argon set so that the argon is briefly in a stable with argon oversaturated state is maintained. This will outgas until closing the packaging prevented. Only then does the pressure develop. The However, print development is still fast enough to be one up to labeling to generate sufficient internal pressure in the packaging so that it is in the Labeling device does not cause any problems.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for packaging flowable products, especially beverages or liquid medicines.
  • the argon is there preferably dissolved at a pressure of about 2 to about 6 bar in the flowable product.
  • the method according to the invention is particularly advantageous in a device for packaging products with a Filling device for filling the product into the packaging, one Inert gas metering device for introducing inert gas into the product and one Closing device for closing the packaging carried out.
  • the inert gas metering device is connected to an argon source.
  • the source of argon is expediently an argon gas container.
  • the Inert gas metering device To enable a controlled entry of argon into the product, the Inert gas metering device with a pressure, temperature and Flow control equipped.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for packaging low-carbon or carbon dioxide-free products, especially food or pharmaceuticals.
  • the invention can be used for filling low-carbon or Carbon dioxide free drinks used in PET bottles or beverage cans become.
  • liquid nitrogen in the packaging to drop in which installed a complex liquid nitrogen metering device must be in the invention in conventional beverage filling plants provided for the carbon dioxide enrichment of the beverage plant components for the Argon entry are taken over.
  • filling lines for Carbon dioxide-containing beverages without technical effort in filling plants for carbon dioxide-free drinks are converted.
  • It can also be the same bottling line both for the entry of argon and for the entry of carbon dioxide be used.
  • an argon tank and a carbon dioxide tank to be provided at the bottling plant. Via appropriate connecting lines and Shut-off devices and / or valves can be made via the same gas metering device either carbon dioxide or argon or a mixture of argon and Carbon dioxide can be introduced into the product.

  1. Procédé pour emballer des produits coulants, notamment des denrées alimentaires ou des produits pharmaceutiques, dans lequel, avant la fermeture de l'emballage, un gaz inerte est introduit dans le produit, de l'argon gazeux étant utilisé en tant que gaz inerte et étant dissous dans le produit coulant, caractérisé en ce que lors de l'introduction de l'argon dans le produit, la pression, la température et la quantité d'argon sont ajustées de telle sorte que le produit soit maintenu brièvement dans un état stable sursaturé d'argon, ce qui fait que d'une part un échappement du gaz est empêché jusqu'à la fermeture de l'emballage et que d'autre part après la fermeture de l'emballage, une pression interne suffisante pour l'étiquetage de l'emballage est produite dans l'emballage.
  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que l'argon est dissous à une pression d'environ 2 à environ 6 bars dans le produit coulant, notamment dans une boisson.
