Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container and particularly relates to a bulk container which can support and assist in dispensing the contents of flexible bags which can contain food or beverage or other types of dispensable products.
  • the invention also relates to a system for maintaining aseptic product in the bags.
  • the bags need to be properly supported in order to allow the bag contents to be dispensed.
  • the bag also requires correct support to ensure that virtually the entire contents of the bag can be dispensed.
  • the bags are usually filled and then placed within a surrounding framework which supports the bag and protects it against tearing or rupturing. The bag and framework can then be transported by truck or other means to a desired place for dispensing the contents of the bag.
  • a difficulty with current arrangements is that the supporting framework does not or has a reduced ability to assist in the dispensing of the bag contents.
  • Another disadvantage is that the frame assembly is rather large and cumbersome, and when the contents of the bag have been emptied, and the bag is a fraction of its original size, return transportation of the bag and framework incurs unnecessary expense.
  • the present invention is directed to a container of the type which supports a flexible bag and which may overcome the abovementioned disadvantages or provide the public with a useful or commercial choice.
  • the invention resides in a system for packaging aseptic product, the system comprising a rigid outer container, a aseptic bag within the container, the bag having an inlet, and a separate outlet which is closed off by a perforatable membrane, and a valve which is attached relative to the container, the valve having an inlet which is connected to the outlet, the valve being opened and the membrane being perforated by a perforation means passing through the open valve, the valve then being closed, the bag then being filled through the inlet with product .
  • the product typically flows into the bag and falls against the inner face of the valve which is sterile.
  • the valve is a butterfly valve which has a valve disc which can pivot between an open and closed position against a valve seat, the disc having a front face facing the valve outlet when the valve is closed, and a rear face which is contacted by the product.
  • the interior of the valve and the front of the membrane are sterilized during perforation of the membrane.
  • valve and membrane are sterilized by steam during the membrane perforating process.
  • the valve has an outlet which is sealed with a sponge impregnated with a sterilizing medium.
  • the outlet is further sealed with a cap which extends over the sponge.
  • the container has a non collapsible base assembly which has a rigid outer frame and wherein inside the frame is provided a means to assist in the discharging of product in the bag, the means being in the form of a funnel formed from rigid sheet material which supports the lower end of the bag and shapes the lower end of the flexible bag into a funnel configuration to assist in dispensing of the product.
  • the valve is attached to the base assembly and is recessed in the outer periphery of the base assembly.
  • the system includes a collapsible top assembly which is supported by the base assembly, the top assembly being formed from a plurality of panel members which are releasably interconnected to form a side support for the flexible bag when the bag is full, and which can be collapsed to overlie the base assembly when the bag is empty, thereby reducing the size of the container for transportation back to a bag filling or replacement station.
  • the invention resides in a collapsible container for supporting a product containing flexible bag of the type having a dispensing outlet, the container having a non collapsible base assembly and a collapsible top assembly which is supported by the base assembly, the base assembly having means to assist in the discharging of product in the flexible bag through the dispensing outlet, the top assembly being formed from a plurality of panel members which are releasably interconnected to form a side support for the flexible bag, and which can be collapsed to overlie the base assembly.

  • the flexible bag can contain food or beverage products such as fruit and other liquid products, and the bag can be pre-filled in a sterile and aseptic manner to meet the required hygiene standards.
  • Various types of flexible bags can be used depending on the contents of the bag and the industry requirements.
  • the collapsible container has the advantage that it can be collapsed and re-used several times and when collapsed, takes up a fraction of the original size thereby making return transportation less expensive. It is preferred that the container is manufactured from materials which meet the hygiene standards required in the particular industry, and a person skilled in the art would be able to make the correct selection of materials.
  • the collapsible container has a non-collapsible base assembly.
  • the non-collapsible base assembly preferably comprises a rigid outer frame which can be formed from steel. Inside the frame is provided a means to assist in the discharging of product in the flexible bag, and this means can be in the form of a funnel formed from rigid sheet material which supports the lower end of the flexible bag and shapes the lower end of the flexible bag into a funnel configuration to assist in dispensing of the product.
  • the means may be provided with an opening through which the dispensing outlet of the flexible bag can pass.
  • a support bracket can be provided to support the dispensing outlet to prevent damage to the bag and/or outlet.
  • the base assembly can include openings or other means to allow forklift tynes to lift and transport the entire container.
  • the collapsible top assembly is formed from a number of panel members which are releasably interconnected to form a side support for the flexible bag.
  • panel members which are releasably interconnected to form a side support for the flexible bag.
  • four panel members are provided which interconnect adjacent their edges to adjacent panel members to provide a rectangular or box-like arrangement into which the flexible bag can be positioned, with the side walls of the flexible bag being supported by the panel members.
  • Each panel member can be formed from a surround steel frame with plastic sheeting attached to the inside, and it is preferred that no rough points are provided which can rub-up against the bag contained therein.
  • Each panel assembly is preferably of equal size and shape to minimise inventory costs.
  • the panel members can collapse and can be positioned to overlie the base assembly, and it is preferred that the size and shape of the panel members and the base assembly is such that the panel members do not project from the base assembly, this facilitating return transportation of the collapsed container.
  • the overlying panel members extend over the funnel in the base assembly, to protect the funnel from damage and the like, and the overlying panel members can also function to prevent unauthorised removal or tampering with the empty or substantially empty flexible bag (it being appreciated that the bag may contain somewhat toxic products or products which may otherwise be harmful).
  • the panels may be configured to allow them to nest or be attached to each other when in the collapsed position and this can be achieved by suitable location points designed into each side panel.
  • the top assembly preferably includes a lid which may also comprise a panel as described above.
  • the lid is also preferably designed such that it can collapse to overlie the base assembly or to sit on top, in between, or under the side panels when in the collapsed state.
  • the lid may also include location points or other means to ensure that the various panel members are located when returned to base.
