Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filling and sealing device for a machine for packaging under a controlled atmosphere of products, more particularly solid food products, rigid or in pieces in containers such as trays, pots and similar packaging, sealed by a movie.
  • the packaging of food and other products in such sealed packages is carried out on so-called “Trays” or “Thermoformers-Trays” machines depending on whether the containers to be sealed are made beforehand on another machine, or by thermoforming for example a film of thermoplastic material on the same machine as the lidding machine. It is often necessary, especially when packaging food products, pharmaceuticals or other perishable or problematic products, for better preservation, protection and / or hygiene, to carry out sealing under vacuum or controlled atmosphere. , which implies an extraction of the air and / or an injection (or reinjection) of gas.
  • thermoforming film A known and commonly used solution is to perform the extraction of air and / or gas injection through holes made on the sides of the thermoforming film, along the drive chains. This solution makes it possible to establish in the packages a well controlled atmosphere, but leads to a significant loss of thermoforming film, the latter must be much greater than the width of the containers to be sealed, but does not allow to fill products with trays in the sealing station.
  • the document WO 99/17990 proposes a sealing device for a packaging machine in sealed containers, which device while being particularly simple and reliable structure, ensures a perfect seal of the enclosure in which takes place the welding of the lid on the container, thus allowing the creation in the sealed container, an atmosphere better controlled than heretofore and also allowing the introduction of fluid products (for example liquid, pasty or in particular powder) in the receptacle inside the welding or sealing station, before complete sealing of the receptacle.
  • fluid products for example liquid, pasty or in particular powder
  • This lidding device intended for a machine for packaging products under a controlled atmosphere in containers such as trays, pots and similar containers lidded by a film, comprises an upper part forming a bell provided with a welding head, and a lower part forming tank.
  • the lower part receives at least one container to be sealed and cooperates with the upper part so as to define, around the container to be sealed, an enclosure in which continuous lidding film previously supplied to the container is welded to the container by the head welding of the upper part.
  • the upper part comprises, in a side wall, on the supply side of the lidding film, a passage slot for the lidding film, shut-off means and actuation-controlled locking means for closing said slot and locking the film with respect to the upper part, means for introducing and / or extracting fluid (gas, air), and possibly filling means comprising nozzles or orifices for introducing fluid products (liquid, semi-liquid); liquids, pasty or powder) opening inside the enclosure between said slot and the lower edge of said wall.
  • the present invention relates to a device and a process for the packaging of controlled atmosphere products allowing more particularly the filling of the containers, inside the sealing station, with products even of non-fluid consistency (rigid, solid, in pieces , etc.), these products may preferably be previously put under modified or controlled atmosphere.
  • the invention relates to a device for filling and lidding such packaging containers, having all the advantages and characteristics of the device according to the document WO 99/17990 , therefore complementary to this device, but more efficient and having a structure better adapted to an industrial process of packaging and having especially the advantage of allowing the filling of the containers directly inside the sealing station, thanks to the possibility of introduction into the enclosure surrounding the container to be filled and sealed, all types of products, of any kind, shape, appearance and consistency but more particularly of rigid products, solid or in pieces, if necessary previously put under a modified atmosphere or controlled, these products can be in particular food products, such as pig loins, poultry, fish such as processed or whole salmon, pâtés, vegetables, etc ...
  • the sealing device (1) of a machine for packaging products, in particular food products, in thermoformed trays intended to be capped with a film (11), this device forming part of a thermoformeuse-traerculeuse, comprises a lower portion (2) shaped bowl, intended to receive a tray (4) and lined with a seal (18) on its upper edge, and d a fixed bell-shaped upper portion (3) comprising a frame (8) integral with a support plate and surrounding a movable welding head (9) for welding the film (11) to the rim of the container (4).
  • the frame (8) of the upper part (3) of the welding device is traversed at its wall located on the supply side of the lidding film (11) by a slot (13) in which the film passes (11). ).
  • the slot (13) is associated with a shut-off and locking means (14) with controlled actuation, constituted for example by an inflatable rubber hose, mounted in a hole (16) opening into the slot (13) so that the hose (14, when inflated, blocks the lidding film (11) in the slot (13) and closes the latter completely sealingly.
  • the frame (8) further comprises, in the same wall, between the slot (13) and the lower edge of this wall, one or more orifices or nozzles (17, for example gas extraction or injection, opening inside the enclosure (25) delimited between the two parts (1) and (2) or the frame (8).
  • the device according to the present invention which incorporates all the characteristics of the device according to FIGS. 1 and 2, furthermore includes orifices or nozzles (17) which by their reduced size (section) can only be used for the extraction and / or injection of gas and / or the introduction of more or less fluid products, at least one orifice or nozzle (17A) of larger size (section) designed to allow the passage of all products and especially more consistent products, solid, rigid or pieces.
  • These orifices (17A) larger which may have sections and various shapes depending on the products that must be introduced through them in the tray (4) enclosed in the enclosure (25) and can be made of all kinds of various materials, such as, among others, aluminum, stainless steel, plastic etc., depending on the applications and the products to be packaged, can be advantageously completed, to allow the best routing and respect of the products to the sealing station (in the enclosure 25), by means of manual introduction and filling or preferably automated sas type, for introducing the products (26) in the enclosure (25) and deposit them in the tray (4) without altering the controlled atmosphere prevailing in the enclosure (25).
  • introduction and filling means may in particular comprise mobile transfer means (20), such as carriages in the form of shuttles, mounted for example pivotally, pivotally or not, and mobile way in-and- comes in axial translation, under the action of jacks or similar motor means, in guides (23) for example tubular, which can be provided with openings (24) for loading the products in the shuttles (20) from outside the packaging machine.
  • mobile transfer means (20) such as carriages in the form of shuttles, mounted for example pivotally, pivotally or not, and mobile way in-and- comes in axial translation, under the action of jacks or similar motor means, in guides (23) for example tubular, which can be provided with openings (24) for loading the products in the shuttles (20) from outside the packaging machine.
  • the guides (23) for the shuttles (20) may comprise in one or more places means (22) of modified or controlled atmosphere, independent and / or individual and / or centralized, and the shuttles (20) in which the products (26) are advantageously supported by means such that grids may comprise seals (21) ensuring a perfect seal shuttles in the guides, which allows to introduce the products (26) under a perfectly controlled atmosphere, through the orifices or nozzles (17A), in the enclosure (25) and in the trays (4), without disturbing the controlled atmosphere already created in the enclosure and therefore in the trays through orifices or nozzles (17) for fluids.
  • an orifice (17A) formed in the frame (8) is recognized on the same side as the film passing slot (13) (11), at a distance above the lower edge. the frame, therefore between said lower edge and the slot (13) for passage of the film (11), and more precisely between said lower edge and the orifice or nozzle (17) for fluid.
  • the orifice (17A) for the introduction of the product to be packaged in the tray (4) is instead constituted by a notch which is formed in the lower edge of the frame (8).
  • This orifice (17A) thus comes to be located, when the sealing device (1) is closed around a tray (4), by the rise of the lower part (2) vertically movable against the upper part (3) fixed , directly on the connecting portion between two trays (4) successive.
  • the lidding device (1) or more precisely the frame (8) of the upper part (2) is more higher than in the case of the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2, because of the presence of the orifice (17A) below the slot (13) of passage of the film (11), this slot (13) thus also being located higher (relative to the tray (4) to be sealed with the film (11) .
  • the lidding device (1) means allowing the passage of an excess length of film (11) towards the interior of the enclosure (25) through the slot (13), this excess length of film being restored during the descent of the welding head (9) on the tray (4) or similar container, this scrolling of an excess length of film can be done, for example, by mechanical means, electric, pneumatic, motorized, pressure, suction, air blowing, etc.
