Definitions

• the present model of utility deals with the tray-type packing to store food products of the ready-made type for consumption, that is, which are already seasoned and cooked/baked/fried, more specifically dealing with a packing, the physical structure of which was especially developed, once it is sealed, to maintain naturally stable all the features and qualities of the prepared product, dispensing with the need for the refrigeration chain (cooling and/or freezing) for the conservation of the said product.
• the consumer on his turn, when acquiring this type of product, becomes responsible for the maintenance of the temperature conditions, aiming at guaranteeing the quality of the product until its final consumption, because during the whole operation involving the production, transport, storage and marketing of the product, it is understood that that the product would be under the responsibility of able professionals who have the adequate machines, equipment and instruments to guarantee the maintenance of the product features and quality.
• the conservation process is altered, because when purchasing the product, the client/consumer usually withdraws the product from the cooling exhibitor, where it is conditioned and transfers it to the purchase cart, where it will remain for some more time until purchases are finalized, still within the commercial establishment.
• the client After finalizing his purchases, the client must pass all his products through the "check-out" to effect the payment of the purchases. Soon after payment, all the products are usually wrapped in bags and taken to the transport vehicle (from the client or other equivalent) which should supposedly go directly to his residence or establishment, where the product will be transferred to a refrigerating equipment of the freezing or similar type, aiming at maintaining the product frozen. Even when a quick and simple product purchasing process occurs, there is the transfer of the product from a thermal state to another, with the occurrence of a temperature shock, especially in very hot days, which we have faced.
• BR/MU 8102688-9 deals with "Arrangement in Packing for the Transport of Food Products" especially developed to condition food, closing it hermetically, which comprises a small internal tray, made of plastic and having internal slots with the purpose of serving as a mechanism to support high temperatures maintaining the food product always warm during transport to the consumer point, supporting also vegetal and animal fat, with the possibility to conserve product proprieties and its hygienic, but also without any property of food temperature stability.
• Document BR/PI 0102284-9 deals with a "Packing for Conditioning Solid Food Products", which comprises a first main base wall, extending at least one side wall, defining a cavity, with said packing being characterized by he fact that it comprises at least one passing opening, located on the side wall.
• the passing opening is a recess in the height of the side wall, located adjacent to the free extremity of the side wall, containing two recesses and comprising between the recesses a movement limiting element of the food product and this limiting element is a dividing wall.
• the first main base wall presents a rectangular form, extending to four side walls, disposed two by two parallel to each other.
• the types of developed packing do not maintain the main property foreseen in the present privilege, which is to maintain all the features of the product prepared for consumption, even when suffering high temperature variations, dispensing with the cold chain (cooling and/or freezing) for conservation during transport, storage and exhibition for sale.
• One of the main advantages related to the present packing is the fact that the product does not require any special care with the cold chain, because it can be stored immediately after its production process at environment temperature, and consequently does not require transport in special refrigerating vehicles to the Distribution Centers and/or sales points and also eliminates the exposition of the transporting professionals who drive the refrigeration vehicles, which maintain high levels of freezing temperatures.
• Another advantage is related to the fact that once in the marketing establishment where it will be sold, the product can be exhibited in common exhibitors, that is, there no need to exhibit the product in refrigerated exhibitors, with these types of exhibitors being reduced or filled with other products, which require refrigeration.
• Another differential related to similar known products is intrinsically related to the purchasing act by the consumer, because he will be able to acquire the product, transport it for hours within the vehicle, without the need of special care with temperature, because the product, apart from the lack of refrigeration needs, supports sudden variations of temperature, with the possibility of the consumer, for example, to maintain the product stored in his/her summer home or country home for months without the need of having a refrigerator or any other refrigeration equipment, as long he/she maintains the packing intact, that is, hermetically sealed, in adequate hygienic location, which will maintain the original product quality and features, with the product ready for consumption at any moment, only requiring heating in microwave oven or any other conventional method.
• Figure 3 represents a side cut of the previous figure
• Figure 4 illustrates the same cut of figure 3, but with the complete closure of the packing.
• BD developed to contain the "ready dish”-type prepared spiced, cooked/ baked/ fried, with the said tray (BD) shaped by base (1), side walls (2) and surrounding upper plane rim
• the tray (BD) is manufactured in laminated plastics, the structure of which present the following order: PP/EBOH/PP, with the internal layer which remains in contact with the ready food, is in PP. More particularly, the packing is shaped, preferentially, in the white color and having basis (1) with reinforcing features (T), as well as side wall (2) with thickness of 250,0 microns min., rounded corners with minimum thickness of 325,0 microns and supper rims with thickness of 850 microns +/-
• the present tray (BD) presents a barrier feature against UV, according to IFC
• each tray Before receiving the product each tray is forwarded for sterilization. After conditioning the
• the tray (BD) was developed to resist high temperature variations, with the possibility to support from very low freezing temperatures (-4O 0 C) to the sterilization process (+200 0 C).
• the tray-type packing now presented allows to maintain the "ready-dish” product, conserved stable with the possibility of being maintained during environment temperature during the whole chain formed by its industrial production until the preparation/consumption by the final consumer.
