Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a compression-moulded tray of fibre material, said tray having an opening, an inside and an outside.
  • the handling of foodstuff put very high demands on the packaging. They must meet the hygienic requirements, i.e. bacteria and flavouring agents should not be able to migrate through the packages to and from the surrounding environment. In some cases the tray should even be gas tight, i.e. for chilled food for long storage or fresh meat in modified atmosphere. They should have enough strength to resist the handling during storage and transport. Tough environmental demands are also put on the packaging, i.a. as to recycling, composting or burning of used packages.
  • Another common type of packaging is a tray of foamed, vacuum-formed or casted polyester.
  • An essential disadvantage with solid or foamed plastic trays is that they cannot be put in a conventional oven, since they will then melt. The same will thing also happens with solid plastic trays that are common in convenient stores nowadays.
  • An essential disadvantage with the trays according to EP 1 160 379-A2 is that the formed trays are stretched and that they have built-in tensions that may cause the formed trays to be deformed when exposed to stresses in the form of changes in temperature or when exposed to moisture or dampness.
  • the tray according to the invention is characterised in that the tray in a compression method is formed from a suspension of a fibre material of cellulose, comprising at least 75% virgin fibre-based mechanical pulp from the group TMP, CMP, CTMP, cTMP, HTCTMP and mixtures thereof, and in that the formed tray has been formed by press-drying using heat to a dry content of 90-95%, in that the fibre material of the formed tray has a density in the order of 400-650 kg/m 3 , and in that the tray on its inside is coated with a protective barrier.
  • Fibres of mechanical pulp are stiffer than any other type of cellulose pulp, such as chemical pulp or pulp that is partly or fully comprised of recycled fibre. This means that the tray formed from mechanical pulp is more resistant to deformation. The remaining residues of natural resins in the mechanical pulp also causes the formed tray to be self-hydrophobing, which is important in order for the tray to maintain its shape and strength even in humid environments. Press-drying also introduces built-in stress into the product which gives the rigidity at a low basis weight.
  • Said stress is evenly distributed and results in an additional contribution to the stability, due to the fact that the fibres have been forced to a shape under heat and pressure into a fibre network, Inner stress yields in this case a better strength and stability.
  • the hydrophobic fibres also prevent future penetration of water, which in turn also promotes long-lasting strength and stability.
  • the formed tray has been formed by dry-pressing under heat to a dry content of 80-95%, preferably to a dry content of 90-95%. This results in the forming of very strong hydrogen bonds between the individual fibres, and in the obtaining of a tray with high resistance to compressive stress.
  • Press-drying is preferably performed at 250-280° C. This temperature interval results in a good production efficiency. Higher temperatures may result in burning of the fibre material.
  • the fibre material in the compression method By hard-compressing the fibre material in the compression method to a density in the order of 400-650 kg/m 3 , a tray with high stiffness that can resist very high compressive loads is obtained.
  • the fibre material When compressing to this density, the fibre material is strong enough for use as food trays and will have a very good surface for lamination of various plastic films as PET (polyethylene terepthalate), PA (polyamide), PP (polypropylene), and PBT (polybutylene terephthalate). Both higher and lower densities will create lamination and tightness problems.
  • PET polyethylene terepthalate
  • PA polyamide
  • PP polypropylene
  • PBT polybutylene terephthalate
  • the surface will be too rough, causing pinholes in the lamination film. If the density is too high (>650 kg/m 3 ). the surface will be too smooth and the lamination film will not adhere/anchor well enough to the fibres.
  • the invention is further characterised in that said mechanical pulp comprises at least 75% CTMP.
  • the invention is characterised in that said protective barrier is constituted by an aqueous plastic emulsion.
  • a plastic emulsion of the above-mentioned kind is sprayed on the fibre tray and subsequently “polymerised” (forming a film during drying just like water-based paint) to a plastic film.
  • the invention is characterised in that said film of PET, PA, PP, PBT or similar is applied on the formed tray through heat-lamination.
  • the film can be clear, transparent and/or coloured. Normally, a black film is preferred.
  • a black film greatly facilitates the heat-lamination to the formed fibre tray, since the added heat to a higher degree is absorbed by a black material than by other colours. By using a black film, it is thus possible to achieve a sufficiently high and even lamination temperature
  • PET has unique properties which makes is particularly suitable for the intended application purpose.
  • the PET film changes from an amorphous to a crystalline molecular structure.
  • the PET can resist both heating and freezing.
  • PET has in crystalline form a softening temperature of approximately 220° C., which makes it resist heating in a conventional oven.
  • PET in crystalline form is gas-tight and protects well against migration of bacteria and flavouring agents.
  • PA, PP, PBT alone or in combination with EVOH may be more suitable.
  • the choice of film material depends on what degree of air-tightness is needed and how the food is processed inside the tray, will the tray be top sealed with another film or not. If for example an air-tight tray is desired, i.e. suitable for chilled food for long storage, a co-extruded film with EVOH is suitably used, as this is one of the most air-tight compounds after aluminum. For frozen food there are lower demands, and a PET or PA film is sufficient and may suitably be used.
  • PET in crystalline form can also resist vapour sterilisation (autoclavation), which is performed under high vapour pressure and at a temperature of 125-130° C. All polymers are not suitable for this type of sterilisation. During vapour sterilisation, the material gets in contact with vapour, which is something that not all polymers can resist, such as for example PVC, polyethylene, and polyamide.
  • Amorphous PET so-called APET
  • PET in crystalline form so-called CPET
  • PET has also a high wear resistance and resistance to chemicals.
  • PET is also a very suitable material as regards the environment. PET is easy to recycle from used trays. Due to the fact that PET has a very high tensile strength, it is easy to separate PET in large flakes from the rest of the tray. PET is also suitable for burning.
  • the invention is characterised in that the tray, by the press-drying, has been provided with a smooth surface structure without protruding fibres. By this, the risk of so-called “pin-holes” is eliminated.
  • the invention is characterised in that the tray has a planar bottom and side walls that are straight to said bottom. This facilitates the lamination to the plastic film.
  • the use of straight side walls in relation to the bottom has been made possible thanks to the fact that the tray according to the invention, in contrast to other known trays for use as food package for ready-cooked dishes, has a considerably higher resistance to compressive load.
  • Previously known trays are usually provided with special reinforcing bumps for obtaining an acceptable load strength. Irregularities in the form of reinforcing bumps results in a decreased lamination of the film.
  • the invention is characterised in that the opening of the tray is surrounded by an outwardly extending and with said bottom parallel and completely smooth rim.
  • the tray according to the invention is built by material that is stiff and resistant to high compressive loads.
  • a smooth rim facilitates the sealing of the tray with a lid.
  • the invention is characterised in that the tray is formed from a suspension of fibre material having a pH between 6 and 8.5, preferably between 7 and 8. It has been shown the tray is much stronger at a pH close to a neutral pH value. This is believed to be caused by the formation of stronger hydrogen bonds between the fibres at this pH value.
  • the invention is characterised in that the fibre material of the tray has been treated with a hydrophobing agent.
  • the invention is characterised in that said hydrophobing agent is constituted by AKD (alkyl ketene dimer) or ASA (alkyl succinic anhydride). These hydrophobing agents is suitable as it is resistant to both freezing and heating.
  • AKD alkyl ketene dimer
  • ASA alkyl succinic anhydride
  • the present inventions provides a method of manufacturing the above-mentioned trays.
  • the present inventions provides a method of laminating films on a fibre material.
  • Said method enables lamination of various films to a fibre material.
  • the method is particularly useful when using a film exhibiting increased E-modulus when stretched, such as PET, PA, and PBT films, since this will yield a very even film.
  • Other films are also suitable, but are then preferably used in combination with another film.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of a tray according to the invention seen from above
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross-section along the line II-II.
  • the shown tray has a planar bottom 1 and from that straight side walls 2 , which surround an opening 3 .
  • the opening of the tray is surrounded by an outwardly extending and with said bottom parallel and completely smooth rim 4 .
  • the tray has an inside and an outside.
  • the tray is formed from a suspension of a fibre material of mechanical pulp having a pH between 6 and 8.5, preferably between 7 and 8. It has been shown that the tray becomes stronger when formed from a fibre suspension having an essentially neutral pH value.
  • the inside of the tray is coated with a film 7 of PET or another film as mentioned above.
  • the compression-moulded fibre tray has been denoted by 8.
  • the manufacturing of the tray according to the invention is in principle performed in the following way.
  • Dewatering trays having a shape that corresponds to that of the shape of the tray to be manufactured is immersed into a bath in the form of a suspension of mechanical pulp.
  • the fibre material suitably comprises at least 75% CTMP.
  • the fibre material of CTMP has the advantage that is self-hydrophobing and results in a more porous and thus more air-permeable structure than for example ground pulp, which in turn improves the forming in the dewatering trays.
  • CTMP is also advantageous during the subsequent lamination with PET, as air can more easily pass through the more porous structure in a formed fibre tray of CTMP compared to other mechanical pulps.
  • the dewatering trays for a fibre suspension of CTMP suitably have a mesh size of 60 mesh or finer.
  • the trays are transferred to a pressing tool where press-drying under heat and high compressive pressure takes place in one or several steps.
  • Press-drying under heat should be continued until the compression-moulded fibre tray has reached a dry content of 80-95%, preferably 90-95%.
  • a dry content 80-95%, preferably 90-95%.
  • the compressive pressure in the press-tools should be so high that the fibre tray gets a density in the order of 400-650 kg/m 3 . If the density is too low, the surface will be to rough, causing pinholes in the lamination film. On the other hand, if the density is too high density, a very smooth surface is produced, and the film will not glue/stick to the fibre material. It has been shown that a formed fibre tray having said properties gets particularly good properties for use purposes, in which the tray is exposed to great stresses in the form of high compression loads, high heat under prolonged periods, freezing, as well as liquids and moisture.
  • An example of a suitable application field is packages for ready-cooked dishes, where the stresses of the above-mentioned kind are present and where there are no known suitable solutions that can withstand both conventional and microwave-heating, and still can be taken out from said ovens with bare hands.
  • a hydrophobing agent is added to the fibre suspension.
  • the intention is that the formed fibre tray thus should become strongly water-repellent. Absorption of water would result in a great reduction of the tray's resistance to loads.
  • the hydrophobing agent is AKD (alkyl ketene dimer). The advantage with this hydrophobing agent is that it is resistant to both heating and freezing.
  • the fibre trays are laminated on their inside with a film of PET.
  • a film of PET is particularly suitable.
  • PET has a high tensile resistance, which makes it possible to stretch the film in connection with the lamination to the fibre tray without it braking.
  • trays having a depth of at least 5 cm can be formed without problem.
  • the film is applied as a web over the pre-formed fibre tray and is sucked down into the tray using vacuum, while the film is heated for lamination using heat radiation.
  • the PET film is suitably black, for the reasons described above. It may also be clear, transparent and/or coloured.
  • the PET film is constituted of amorphous polyester.
  • the colouring is performed by a so-called master batch, comprising colour pigments in concentrated form, in connection with the extrusion of the film.
  • the film is extended and the thickness of the film will in a laminated state be less than 50 ⁇ m.
  • the amorphous structure is crystallised and is transformed into CPET, i.e. a crystalline polyester.
  • a film of CPET having a thickness of approximately 10 ⁇ m is essentially gas-tight and bacteria-tight.
  • CPET film has a low moisture absorption, high wear resistance and is resistant to chemicals. Depending on end use, other films may be more suitable. When the tray needs a top film to protect the food, it may sometimes be difficult to glue a film on CPET. In such cases, a top film of PA/PP film is easier to glue/adhere to said tray. There is always a co-operation between different films and the choice of top and lamination film must always be judged and tested individually.
  • the pressing tools for the press-drying are suitably completely smooth in order to achieve a surface structure on the formed tray that is smooth and without protruding fibres, which may give rise to “pin holes” in the plastic film during its lamination.
  • the tested trays have a very good surface finish, good stability and high heat insulation capacity, which make them well suited for e.g. heating of ready-cooked dishes in microwave and conventional ovens.
  • the good heat insulation capacity makes it possible to hold the tray containing the heated dish in the hand, without any risk of getting burned.
  • the migration is very low, whereby the trays are well suited for direct contact with foodstuff.
  • a plastic laminate having a low permeability is suitable.
  • the form stability of the trays makes them suitable for automated handling in filling and packaging machines.
  • the tests have been performed on the heat resistance of the trays, filled and unfilled, to verify that they can be used for serving hot food and in for example airplanes. As is seen below, the tests show that trays according to the invention have a very high heat resistance.
  • the trays have also been tested in respect of autoclavation and pasteurizing, respectively, with good results.
  • the tests have been performed with and without a plastic bag around the trays.
  • the reason for using a plastic bag is to simulate a tray sealed with a lid film, which should always be the case during autoclavation and pasteurizing.
  • the trays have a very good stability and resist very high loads before any breakage has been observed.
  • Reslushed or fresh CTMP is formed on a wire net or similar device (from a consistency of about 1% up to about 15%) to its desired tray shape.
  • the formed tray is then dried between hot tools in several stages with the help of vacuum and compressed air, to the desired dryness of about 90%, which is suitable for imparting a sufficient rigidity to the tray.
  • Additional hydrophobising agents and retention aids are added to the stock before dewatering in order to improve the production, since the retention aids speeds up the dewatering process and binds the fine material (very small fibre fragments) to the fibre web.
  • the performance of the production is improved since a large part of the hydrophobing agents stick to the fine material, and the retention aids keeps said fine material from being flushed out with the white water.
  • the provision of the barrier-coating or lamination takes place immediately after the trays have been dried to about 90% dryness.
  • the trays may be checked with a metal detector before delivery to the user, since metal fragments are completely forbidden in food trays for many reasons, e.g. it may be harmful to get sharp pieces if metal into your body and if metal pieces are put into a microwave oven, they can cause a fire
