Description

Tray for presentation and sale of products frozen

Object of the invention

The invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a tray for presentation and sale of frozen products in which the tray is covered by a transparent film through which it is allowed to visualize the product contained in the tray, and that Its purpose is to prevent the transparent film from being coated with moisture, and consequently prevent frost from appearing, so that the correct visualization of the product contained in the tray.

In general the invention is applicable to accommodate any type of frozen product, and especially applies for the packaging of frozen fish.

Background of the invention

At present, for example for products meat, there is a tendency to replace the butcher sector for the cutting of supermarkets and hypermarkets by the product refrigerated embanquetado, so that the service is streamlined and offers the consumer products that support a feeling of freshness and hygiene.

This presentation in tray or boat is performed using white polystyrene trays that are heat sealed or shrink wrapped with clear plastic, containing the food product so that to perform its conservation modified atmospheres are used.

In the case of deep-frozen fish, it is Glaze to protect the product from dehydration caused by temperature variations and then sanitized with a shrink film, placing the product in the tray that cover with a film that shrinks, leaving the product packing.

This form of packaging has the drawback that moisture condensation occurs inside the tray, which is retained in the film, so that when frozen it frost being opaque the film, which loses the presence of product visibility, which inhibits the user to carry out their acquisition.

Description of the invention

To solve the problems and get the objectives indicated above the invention has developed a new tray for presentation and sale of frozen products that like the conventional ones determine a housing of al minus a frozen product, covering the tray that contains said frozen product with a transparent film that is fixed by shrink wrapping or heat sealing; and presents the novelty that the film has a microperforated configuration at least partially, to evacuate the moisture that the product gives off frozen and prevent frost formation in it, so that the total transparency of the film is maintained with what the Fish presentation conveys the feeling of freshness and hygiene corresponding to the packaged product, which determines a greater rotation of it at the point of sale.

In an embodiment of the invention it is envisioned that the microperforations included at least partially in the film, affect an area that lacks the product label that is adheres to the film, that is, it is limited to the surface through the which the user visualizes the frozen product.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, provides that the film is fully microperforated.

The invention provides that the film is preferably polypropylene.

The at least one frozen product that is housed in the tray is preferably fish covered in a film shrink wrapped so that it is perfectly protected.

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same, they accompany a series of figures in which with illustrative and non-limiting nature the object has been represented of the invention.

Brief description of the figures

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view exploded of an embodiment of the invention in which the different elements that compose it are appreciated and in which The product that is housed in the tray is fish.

Figure 2.- Shows a view of the figure previous with the tray closed and the fish packed.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Below is a description of the invention based on the figures discussed above.

The invention comprises a tray 1 of polystyrene in which portions of fish 2 are housed that previously they have been glazed to protect the product from dehydration caused by temperature variations, and that have subsequently been sanitized with a retractable film 3 made of transparent polypropylene, to ensure its protection, maintenance, and its fragility of handling and use.

Then the tray 1 is housed portions of fish 2 coated with film 3 and the mouth of the  tray 1 is covered by a microperforated transparent film 4 which is heat sealed in said mouth of tray 1, leaving the product perfectly packaged, and so that condensation of moisture that occurs in the tray is evacuated to the outside through the microperforations of film 4, which allows to keep the display at all times through the film  transparent microperforated 4, preventing the formation of frost on it, by evacuation before commented.

This setting allows you to keep an image optimum visibility and conservation of frozen fish for presentation oriented to free service.

Then, on the described configuration, can incorporate the corresponding label that the regulations in force regulates for the identification of the packaged product, and that it has not been represented in the figure because it is not the object of invention.
