Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to the sector of the packaging of products, above all food products, and more particularly it relates to a new apparatus, with fully pneumatic functioning, which is suitable for odorising a packaging, such as for example a food-preserving tray or a similar packaging, wherein a food product is packaged and supplied, in order to avoid the formation of bad and unpleasant odours at the time of opening of the same packaging and therefore of consumption of the food product.
  • a packaging such as for example a food-preserving tray or a similar packaging, wherein a food product is packaged and supplied, in order to avoid the formation of bad and unpleasant odours at the time of opening of the same packaging and therefore of consumption of the food product.
  • the present invention also relates to a corresponding method for odorising a packaging, such as typically a food-preserving tray, wherein a food product is packaged and supplied in order to be consumed.
  • a packaging such as typically a food-preserving tray
  • a packaging for example in the form of a food-preserving tray or a similar packaging, in which a product, in particular a food product, is packaged, can, when the packaging is opened and torn to allow consuming of the food product supplied therein, release and emit a bad and unpleasant odour, with obvious negative consequences on liking by the consumer of the same product which is supplied in the packaging.
  • a substance in particular in the form of a gas or a gas mixture, containing micro drops of an odorising and/or aromatising substance, in a tray, in particular a food-preserving tray, in which a food product is packaged in a packaging line, before hermetically sealing the same tray and being distributed in order to be consumed.
  • the tray once sealed hermetically, retains in its interior the fragrancing and/or aromatising substance insufflated, so that, when the same tray is open and torn at the time of consumption of the food product contained therein and supplied, the fragrancing and/or aromatising substance expands in the external environment, generating a pleasing aroma and odour and thus avoiding the formation of bad odours which could jeopardise the liking of the product to be consumed.
  • these known apparatuses include usually electric and/or electromechanical devices which could overheat and generate sparks in critical conditions, so as to trigger in the presence of these inflammable materials and substances dangerous and damaging fires.
  • a first object of the present invention is to propose and produce an apparatus for odorising a sealed packaging containing a product, typically food, aimed at avoiding that at the time of opening of the packaging and therefore of the consumption of the product contained therein unpleasant and bad odours are released, wherein this apparatus has a simple construction with reduced bulk, so as to allow easy placing thereof, and moreover is suitable for being advantageously installed, in particular without requiring specific and burdensome safety interventions, in industrial and production environments in which substances subject to a risk, even only potential, of catching fire are handled, moved and are in general present.
  • a second object, in any case connected to the first, of the present invention is also that of promoting consumption of products, typically food products, which are packaged and distributed for consumption in sealed trays and similar containers, and therefore of avoiding those negative effects, in particular consisting of possible unpleasant odours which are released by these trays and containers at the time of their opening for consuming the product contained therein, which can prevent a complete and full liking by consumers of these products packaged and distributed for consumption in these sealed trays and similar containers.
  • the apparatus for odorising a packaging such as for example a food-preserving tray, in which a product, in particular a food product, is packaged, having the features defined by the independent main claim 1, as also by the method corresponding to claim 10.
  • an apparatus aimed at producing and dispensing a mixture of aromatised gas in a packaging, such as for example a food-preserving tray, wherein a product, more particularly a food product, is packaged and supplied, is denoted overall by 10 and comprises:
  • the odorising apparatus 10 has a configuration involving a purely and totally pneumatic functioning and is therefore completely free of electric and/or electronic devices and parts, and also of electrical connections with external panels and apparatuses, wherein electrical currents/voltages and signals are present and/or circulate which could be a source of risk and create problems of safety in the environment in which the odorising apparatus 10 is installed.
  • the mixing system 20 comprises a first and a second tank, denoted by 21a and 21b, in particular in the form of cylinders, containing respectively a first gas G1 and a second gas G2 provided in order to be mixed one with the other, so as to form a gas mixture, not aromatised, denoted by (G1+G2).
  • the first gas G1 consists of nitrogen N2 and the second gas G2 consists of carbon dioxide CO2.
  • mixtures of nitrogen N2 and carbon dioxide CO2 are such as to cover most of the food products, other mixtures can be used without departing from the scope of the invention, for example mixtures composed of gases such as oxygen and argon, or ternary or quaternary mixtures.
  • the mixing system 20 comprises moreover a series of pneumatic components, listed here below and shown in the diagram of Fig. 2 with the respective standardised symbols, which have the function of controlling the dispensing of the two gases G1 and G2 from the respective tanks 21a and 21b and allowing a mixing thereof in the correct conditions of pressure and of flow, so as to supply, at the output of the mixing system 20, the gas mixture (G1+G2) at the values of pressure and flow required.
  • Pneumatic component Reference numeral Filter 22 Pressure control valve 23a Pressure control pilot valve 23b Flow indicator 24 Flow regulator 26 Non-return valve 27 Pressure indicator 29
  • a three-way valve denoted by 25 in Figs. 1 and 2 , is provided, at the output of the mixing system 20, in order to control the flow of the gas mixture (G1+G2) produced by the mixing system 20 along a first conduit 25' and a second conduit 25", respectively towards the nebuliser 30 and towards a storage tank, denoted by 28, where the gas mixture (G1+G2), not aromatised, can be stored.
  • the cartridge nebuliser 30, shown in detail in Fig. 3 has, as mentioned previously, the function of nebulising an odorising/aromatising liquid, denoted by L, and of mixing it with the gas mixture (G1+G2), not aromatised, coming from the mixing system 20.
  • the nebuliser 30 is of the cartridge type, i.e. it is suitable for being fed with a cartridge CAR, filled with the liquid L to be nebulised, which is replaced, once used up, with a new full cartridge containing the liquid L.
  • the nebuliser 30 is based on a so-called Venturi tube, that is it comprises a through tube 31 via which the gas mixture (G1+G2), non-aromatised, flows, coming from the mixing system 20, in which this tube 31 has in turn a narrow section 31a which is in communication, via a conduit 32, with the cartridge C containing the liquid L.
  • a so-called Venturi tube that is it comprises a through tube 31 via which the gas mixture (G1+G2), non-aromatised, flows, coming from the mixing system 20, in which this tube 31 has in turn a narrow section 31a which is in communication, via a conduit 32, with the cartridge C containing the liquid L.
  • the flow of the gas mixture (G1+G2) which comes from the mixing system 20 creates in the zone of the narrow section 31 a of the tube 31 a vacuum which draws the odorising/aromatising liquid L from the respective cartridge into the nebuliser 30 and therefore causes the nebulisation of the liquid L in micro drops and its mixing with the gas mixture (G1+G2) which flows through the tube 31.
  • the tank 40 in turn is suitable for receiving, through a conduit 35, and for storing the aromatised gas mixture, denoted by (G1+G2+L), coming from the nebuliser 30, so as to allow, as already mentioned, the molecular exchange between the gases G1 and G2 and the nebulised liquid L and obtain therefore the final odorising/aromatising substance, denoted by OD, to be used to odorise the packaging in which the food product is packaged.
  • the aromatised gas mixture denoted by (G1+G2+L)
  • OD final odorising/aromatising substance
  • a first conduit 37 associated with a ball valve 38, has the function of allowing the discharge of the odorising/aromatising substance OD from the tank 40.
  • a second conduit 36 is provided for feeding, as denoted by an arrow f1, the odorising/aromatising substance OD from the tank 40 to a packaging line, schematised in Figs. 1 and 2 and denoted overall by LC, where this odorising/aromatising substance OD is in fact used for odorising a plurality of packagings, denoted by CON, each one containing a generic product, in particular a food product, denoted by PR.
  • the packagings CON are fed and made to advance, in an open configuration and inside each of them the food product PR, along a packaging path, as indicated by an arrow f2, and, while they advance along this path, they receive in their interior from the conduit 36, in an odorising and sealing station denoted by SOS, a certain quantity of deodorising/aromatising substance OD.
  • the packagings CON are immediately sealed, as denoted by arrows f3, so that the odorising/aromatising substance OD is not dispersed in the environment but is retained inside each packaging CON.
  • the present invention fully achieves the objects which had been set and in particular provides a new apparatus, easy and practical to use, able to avoid the formation of unpleasant and bad odours at the time of opening of a packaging, such as a food-preserving tray or a similar container, wherein a product, in particular a food product, is packaged, and moreover characterised by a high safety level, having a functioning which does not entail the use of electric components.
  • FIGs. 4A and 4B show respectively a prototype and a control panel of the odorising apparatus 10 of the invention.
  • the odorising apparatus 10 of the invention has no electric and/or electronic part, also in the control panel, and moreover has a compact construction such as to allow easy installation thereof, for example on the wall.
  • the various pneumatic components included in the apparatus 10 and in particular in the respective mixing system 20, can be of different type and also be part of pneumatic circuits having a different configuration with respect to what has been described previously, obviously notwithstanding the primary capacity and function of these pneumatic components of obtaining, in the conditions and modes requested, the gas mixture (G1+G2) to be mixed, in the nebuliser 30, with the odorising/aromatising liquid L.
  • gases G1 and G2 used by the mixing system 20 for producing the gas mixture (G1+G2) to be mixed with the odorising/aromatising liquid L can be supplied, not only in cylinders, but also in cryogenic containers or in general in systems suitable for containing gas.
  • the apparatus can be set up in such a way as to operate also by excluding and therefore without the aromatising system, that is without passing the mixture (G1+G2) through the odoriser OD, so as to package the product PR in the packaging CON using only the gas mixture (G1+G2), non-aromatised.
