Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of packaging and preservation packaging mainly for food products which produce exudates, such as meat products, marine products and the like, of which we know the natural propensity to exude liquids, even soft fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, etc.
  • This type of packaging must therefore include means of treating, or even separating, the product from the liquids which are extracted from it, as much for health and conservation reasons as for aesthetic reasons linked to the appearance of the product.
  • the sight of a piece placed on a bottom stained with blood, or bathed in exudates makes the appearance of the product unattractive for the consumer.
  • At least the surface of the piece in contact with the exuded liquid can also change color, making the food less appetizing because the contrast with the rest of the piece is perceived very negatively in terms of freshness.
  • trays with a non-absorbent bottom comprising a support which raises the product, in particular via reliefs distributed on the bottom, between which the liquid can in principle flow.
  • a support which raises the product, in particular via reliefs distributed on the bottom, between which the liquid can in principle flow.
  • This is the case for the solutions, for example, described in the documents EP 3 770 075 And EP 3 643 641 .
  • these configurations do not offer any guarantee as to the absence of contact between the product and the exuded liquids. This is also often true when it is presented on the shelf, where it can frequently find itself tilted, either because of the nature of the presentation supports, or because of disorderly handling by customers who leave the packaging disturbed by them in the state.
  • Still other solutions have an additional support element for the product, separate from the actual packaging container, and which comprises means for ensuring the flow of exudates, for example orifices - opening out, where appropriate, on a material that absorbs the same type as before (blotter) placed under the support.
  • the blotter itself rests on the bottom of the tray, so that there are three successive layers forming a complex bottom for the packaging device.
  • Such a conception results for example from the document FR 2 546 138 .
  • the absorbent layer occupies the volume arranged under the support, and the problem of the bacterial flora appearing there after a certain period of humidity continues to arise acutely due to the nature of the blotter.
  • the document FROM 20 2021 101659 U1 presents a packaging solution with a false bottom, the lower face of which is provided with a dense network of studs making the connection with the bottom, and the upper face is provided with two protrusions which are in fact recesses, seen of the underside, intended to be fixed on studs of equivalent size protruding from the bottom. Said protuberances therefore only have a function of fixing the false bottom to the bottom.
  • the product to be packaged which therefore rests directly on the false bottom in the absence of any other relief protruding from the false bottom, is hardly protected because, depending on the quantity of liquid released, it is likely to rest directly in or in contact said liquids, especially since no blotting material is provided.
  • blotters are replaced by bubble mattresses, for example in cases where the packaging is used for fruit, which are also glued to the bottoms of containers and raise more or less the same environmental and recyclability issues as the absorbent materials mentioned above.
  • the era is indeed eco-design, which involves additional concepts related to the recyclability of packaging, and which must not degrade the characteristics purely functional of said packaging, nor encumber the costs necessary for their production.
  • the equation becomes complex because end-of-life packaging parameters must also be taken into consideration. Recycling must thus be able to take place in the best conditions, without operations such as binding separation or sorting, synonymous with waste of time that is economically devaluing and above all not very attractive and therefore not carried out in most cases, which results in depriving sense of the initial eco-design approach.
  • the present invention presents an innovative packaging design both for the technical characteristics of the packaging and for the environmental aspects.
  • the proposed configuration improves on the one hand the gas flows around the packaged products, thus improving the preservation of the packaged products, and on the other hand facilitates recycling by allowing easy collection of the packaging, as well as their easy recycling in sorting centers then among regenerators/recyclers.
  • the false bottom of the invention results in practice in separating the juices from the food, which can no longer bathe in it, due to the existence of the growths distributed on the upper face of the wall forming the false bottom, and of the natural channels formed between said growths and through which liquids can escape.
  • the exudate of the product can in fact flow between said excrescences, and eliminates any contact with the food which is supported by the split "floor” formed by the free ends of said excrescences.
  • the juice also becomes fairly quickly invisible since it ends up flowing into the space delimited between the false bottom and the bottom of the container.
  • the circulation of air (or gas) which is moreover possible around almost all of the packaged part, as well as the absence of contact of the latter with the liquid, also makes it possible to increase the shelf life. and to better preserve the color of food front and back.
  • the proposed configuration also limits bacteriological development thanks to the separation of juice and food, and finally reduces odors when the packaging is opened.
  • the false bottom can be placed inside the container, sealed, or even glued, but preferably, the bottom and the wall of the false bottom can comprise at least one securing means ensuring removability of the securing of the wall of the false bottom at the bottom of the container.
  • the false bottom is in fact a component which can be seen as easily integrated into the container, automatically or manually, and also easily removable if necessary for recycling, for example in a selective sorting process. As will be developed in more detail below, it is also provided to preserve good stackability and its good unstackability before depositing in the container.
  • the protrusions protruding from the upper face of the wall of the false bottom can have a frustoconical shape with a flat top. Together, they constitute a support which is flat, if they all have the same height, although divided and therefore favorable to the flow of liquids from the food and gases circulating in the container. Said protrusions protruding from the upper face of the wall of the false bottom may moreover have a decreasing height from the edges of said wall towards its center.
  • the retaining studs can be arranged in several parallel rows, the studs of at least one central row being of greater volume than the studs of the side rows.
  • These studs of the central row can also be slightly higher than the others so that when they are in contact with the bottom, they generate a double slope on either side of a central axis of the wall of the false bottom, thus optimizing the flow of exudates towards the sides so that they flow, at the level of the side edges of the wall, towards the bottom.
  • the retaining studs have, according to one possible configuration, a frustoconical or hollow cylindrical body closed by a flat or curved wall at its free end distal from the underside of the wall of the false bottom. If necessary, this curved flexible wall can make it possible to adjust the positioning of the false bottom on the bottom or to absorb shocks by axial crushing of limited amplitude. Their height also makes it possible to define, in the depth of the container, the volume allocated to the lower space devoted to receiving the exuded liquids.
  • the false bottom can include removable fastening means at the bottom: these can, according to one possibility, include at least one clipping buttonhole protruding from the upper face of the wall of the false bottom and cooperating with one or more corresponding protrusions from the bottom.
  • the false bottom can be clipped in a way by one or more “pin/buttonhole” systems, the securing operation being able to be manual or automated.
  • the mono-material of the container and the material of the false bottom wall can for example be selected from among polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polylactic acid plastic (PLA) or any other bio-sourced material.
  • PP polypropylene
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PS polystyrene
  • PLA polylactic acid plastic
  • the material of the receptacle and the material of the wall of the false bottom are identical, so that it is not necessary to dismantle the packaging in order to carry out a sorting for recycling.
  • This packaging considerably facilitates not only its own collection, but also recycling in the sorting center and then at the regenerators/recyclers.
  • the material of the container and the material of the wall of the false bottom can contain at least a recycled fraction of said material, so that the circularity mentioned can be exercised.
  • the invention must in fact allow recycling of all the materials making up the packaging in the same recycling circuit.
  • the materials of the container and the false bottom can be different, on the condition that they can be recycled in the same recycling stream, for example be made of polypropylene for one and polyethylene terephthalate for the other.
  • the container and the false bottom according to the invention must be able to be recovered and washed after grinding in the installations of the recyclers. The return to the characteristics necessary for the food sector is carried out in approved processes in the same way as for plastic bottles, processes which therefore comply with the approved standards.
  • FIG. 1 contains all the elements of figures 2 to 5 , since it illustrates a false bottom according to the invention as a whole.
  • the false bottom takes the form of a thin and flat wall 1, shown transparent to facilitate its description, globally rectangular with rounded corners, to be inserted into a prismatic-looking container with a cross-section along a plane parallel to the bottom of the same shape. than the outer cutout of the false bottom, at least at the level where the latter is placed.
  • the wall 1 is rigid, provided with a certain number of reliefs belonging to different categories distinguished according to their function.
  • the upper face of the wall 1, visible in the foreground in the figures 1, 2 , 4 and 5 first comprises, in descending order in number of individuals, 2 frustoconical protrusions with planar closed end in this configuration. Together they form a raised split "floor" for food products, for example a piece of meat or fish. Their number is sufficient for the food to be well supported, and the lacunar structure they form allows the flow of liquids and the circulation of gaseous fluids, air or gases provided for in a controlled atmosphere.
  • the retaining studs 3, 3' have, in this configuration, a frustoconical shape which resembles that of the protrusions 2, with slightly larger dimensions and a closed free end which is also flat or slightly curved, which can be seen in picture 3 that it can be crushed under the effect of pressure, for example to make adjustments in the container.
  • These studs 3, 3' are supported on the bottom of the container (not shown) and in practice give its height to the space contained between the bottom and the false bottom, space provided to collect the liquids exuded by the packaged products. This space acts as a practical juice reservoir.
  • These support blocks are in this case (see figure 1 ) arranged in several parallel rows.
  • the studs 3' of the central row are taller than the studs 3 of the side rows, in fact creating a double slope like a roof, making it possible to constrain the flow of exudates towards the sides so that they flow into the space between the wall 1 of the false bottom and the bottom of the container.
  • the wall 1 forming the false bottom can be sealed, glued, or simply placed on the bottom of the container, or even removably fixed thereto, for example by means of one or more clipping buttonholes 4 appearing in figure 4 .
  • These present(s) a volume protruding from the upper face of the wall 1 provided with a rectangular prismatic base surmounted by a rectangular truncated pyramid, the free end being closed and flat. It is provided to cooperate with corresponding reliefs of the bottom of the container, projecting towards the inside thereof, and of corresponding shape so that elastic clipping can occur.
  • two of these clipping buttonholes on the wall 1 of the false bottom arranged substantially on a diagonal of the wall 1. The low height of these buttonholes makes it possible to optimize the stackability of the false bottoms before removal in the container, the space lost between each false bottom being small.
  • studs 5 with undercuts protrude from the upper face of said wall 1: these are studs 5 with undercuts, the undercut surfaces of which are in this case visible at the two longitudinal ends of the studs 5 of rectangular appearance (in the example shown). Given these undercut surfaces, the unstackability of the containers is properly ensured.
  • Their geometric shape can be round, oval, square, rectangular or other, as long as they have undercut surfaces.
