Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for packaging non-liquid food products, such as, in particular, vegetables, in particular sensitive to oxygen, in a container with a low oxygen content.
  • the invention also relates to an installation suitable for implementing the method.
  • the reduction of the oxygen content is obtained mainly by evacuation of the canister.
  • a non-oxidizing gas ie N 2 ) scans the products in order to expel the residual oxygen.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a method of packaging products, particularly food, non-liquid, such as for example vegetables, in particular sensitive to oxygen, in a container with low oxygen content , which allows high production rates and does not require expensive packaging for its implementation.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for obtaining a large decrease in the oxygen content in the packages.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a method that can be implemented in an installation by limiting industrial investments, and / or which results in the production of a thinner container.
  • the invention relates to a method of packaging products, such as for example food products, in particular oxygen-sensitive, non-liquid, such as for example vegetables or meat in pieces, in a container with low oxygen content. , said container having an opening.
  • said filling liquid is degassed prior to said step of filling the container with said liquid.
  • the method may be implemented on a continuous production line comprising an enclosure, in particular a tunnel under a non-oxidizing atmosphere, filled with said at least one non-oxidizing gas, said enclosure being provided with conveying which enables the advancement said containers continuously.
  • the emptying step of said liquid is carried out by means of a container turning device, internal to the enclosure equipped with means, such as a perforated wall, for keeping the non-liquid food products in said container during of the reversal.
  • the containers are metal cans.
  • the metal cans have a wall thickness less than or equal to 0.15 mm, for example 0.12 mm.
  • the closing step of the container can be performed at least by the establishment of a lid.
  • the method may further provide a step in which the lid of the canister is crimped (under a non-oxidizing atmosphere, or under an uncontrolled atmosphere).
  • the products to be packaged are food products (i.e. meat, vegetable pieces).
  • said final liquid is a food juice (salt water, sauce, ).
  • the method and the installation according to the invention will find a particular application for the packaging of food products such as vegetables, meat or others, in indeformable boxes, especially metal.
  • the invention is not limited to the packaging of food products and can find an application for the packaging of any other product sensitive to oxygen.
  • the invention relates to a method of packaging products including food, non-liquid, such as for example pieces of vegetables; pieces of meat, or others, in particular sensitive to oxygen in a low oxygen container.
  • the method can make it possible to obtain an oxygen concentration in the packages less than or equal to 12 ppm, or even less than 6 ppm.
  • the container 1 has an opening 2 for filling.
  • “refusal filling” is meant the complete or almost complete filling of the internal volume of said container by said products and said liquid. This is in contrast with the “limited juice” filling, whereby the internal volume of said filled container of said products is not completely filled with liquid, gaps remaining between the products.
  • the containers 1 may be metal cans which may have a wall thickness less than or equal to 0.15 mm, for example 0.12 mm.
  • the non-oxidizing atmosphere may be N 2 , CO 2 or another non-oxidizing gas, or a mixture of these gases.
  • the filling liquid 3 used to expel air from the container, by refusal filling can be degassed beforehand.
  • the liquid 3 may be, for example, water.
  • the method can be implemented on a continuous production line, comprising an enclosure 11, such as a tunnel, under a non-oxidizing atmosphere 4, filled with said at least one non-oxidizing gas 5.
  • This enclosure 11 is provided with conveying means for advancing the containers continuously.
  • the liquid emptying step 3 may advantageously be carried out continuously, by means of a container reversal device 12, internal to the tunnel 11.
  • the device 12 may comprise, according to one exemplary embodiment, guides intended to engage with said containers 1, during the advancement of said containers, so as to turn said container about a transverse axis of said container by imposing a spiral path of said containers.
  • means are used to keep the food products, non-liquid, in the container 1 during the turnaround.
  • Such a turning device 12 is known per se of the state of the art, usually referred to as "scrubber" by those skilled in the art.
  • the document EP-0070195 is an example.
  • the means 14 making it possible to keep the food products, in particular non-liquid products, during the overturning in said container 1, may be constituted by a perforated wall of the device on which the opening 2 of the container will be placed during its inversion.
  • these means can be constituted by a perforated lid 44, temporary, put in place upstream of the turning device 12, and then removed downstream of this turning device 12 (see figure 1 ).
  • the turning device may comprise individual container supports 70, each intended to hold a container.
  • a mechanism including in particular a cam and a cam follower or an actuator can be used to control each of the container supports 70 upside down and then to reposition each of the containers with the opening upwards.
  • each container support 70 may, according to the examples of Figures 3 and 4 , comprising a clamp with a first jaw 71 and a second jaw 72.
  • the container support 60 seizes a container by moving the jaws 71, 72 towards each other, while the container rests on the lower jaw (second jaw 72 as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 ).
  • the upper jaw (first jaw 71) then abuts with the container 1, covering the opening 2 of the container 1.
  • a mechanism allows the joint to turn over the support 70 and its container 1, in particular around a pivot axis 73 of the support 70, in order to empty the liquid from the container.
  • the first jaw 71 comprises a perforated wall covering the opening 2 which makes it possible to keep the non-liquid products in the container ( figure 4 ).
  • the step of closing the opening 2 of the container 1 can be performed at least by the establishment of a lid 15, in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
  • the method may further include a step in which the lid 15 is crimped to said canister. This crimping step may be carried out either in a non-oxidizing atmosphere or in an uncontrolled atmosphere.
  • the invention also relates to an installation 10 suitable for the packaging of foodstuffs, which are non-liquid, in particular oxygen sensitive in a container 1 under low oxygen, on a continuous production line.
  • the container 1 has an opening 2 and can be a metal box, as previously described.
