Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of packaging a liquid product and will find a particular, non-limiting application for the packaging of food products.
  • the method generally used industrially consists essentially of metering a drop of liquid nitrogen in the container at said head space, and then, when the air has been expelled by the nitrogen passed to the gaseous state, sealing the opening of the container.
  • the difficulty of implementing such a method lies essentially in the correct dosage of the nitrogen drop, as well as in the timing of the closing step.
  • an overdose of the nitrogen drop, or a closure of the container too early can cause too much internal container pressure, weakening or even deteriorating the container.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method of packaging a liquid product in a container, under low oxygen content, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks, in particular to control the internal pressure in the container.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method that can be implemented in a continuous production line.
  • said installation may have means for recycling the liquid sucked by the emptying device to said means for filling the container with said liquid product, to refuse.
  • the invention relates to a method for packaging a liquid product 1 in a container 2 with low oxygen content.
  • the liquid product 1 may be, without limitation, a food product such as soup, drink, juice, sauce or other.
  • the container 2 may be a metal box such as a can, a bottle including glass, plastic or any other material.
  • the container 2 has an opening 3 intended for filling.
  • the non-oxidizing atmosphere may be N 2 , CO 2 or another non-oxidizing gas or a mixture of these gases.
  • the emptying step of the liquid product can be carried out by suction. According to another embodiment, the emptying step can be performed by turning the container over.
  • said emptying liquid is recycled as a filling liquid.
  • said liquid emptied from the container, in particular by suction, is recycled in order to serve as a filling liquid for the implementation of a new step of filling a liquid product, to refuse, in a next container.
  • the sealing step of said opening can be achieved by the establishment of a shutter 5, such as a cover or a plug.
  • a shutter 5 such as a cover or a plug.
  • the closing step may consist of placing a lid on the opening of the can, and then crimping the lid to the canister.
  • the step of closing said opening of the container can be carried out by setting up a plug, especially by force or a screw cap.
  • the method can be implemented on a continuous production installation.
  • the invention also relates to an installation 10 suitable for the packaging of oxygen-sensitive liquid products 1, in a low-oxygen container2 on a continuous production line, said container 2 having an opening 3.
  • the liquid may be a food product, such as soup, sauce, drink or others.
  • the container may be a metal box or a bottle.
  • the filling means 11 of the container with the liquid product to refuse may consist of a dosing device that delivers a dose corresponding to the internal volume of the container. These filling means 11 are located in the open air and allow to expel air from the container.
  • the enclosure 12 may consist of a tunnel.
  • the enclosure 12 has means for the nozzle of a non-oxidizing gas.
  • the internal volume of the enclosure is thus maintained under a non-oxidizing atmosphere, at slight overpressure, through these nozzle means, thus avoiding the insertion of air.
  • Containers 2 filled to refusal enter the enclosure 12 to one end 6 of the chamber 12 and are moved to the emptying device 14.
  • This emptying device 14 may be a suction device comprising a cannula 15, actuated to the descent or the climb by means of an actuator such as a jack. In the low position, the cannula 15 is immersed in the liquid of the container. The emptying is effected by suction of the liquid in particular by means of a pump of the device 14. The aspirated liquid can be recycled to said filling means 11 for filling a next container.
