Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for gas-tight packaging of food, in particular pieces of meat, wherein the food is placed in a shell and closing the shell is a thermoformable film is connected to the shell, wherein the food is placed in a shell and closing the shell a thermoformable sheet is connected to the shell.
  • the invention also relates to a device for gas-tight packaging of foods, in particular pieces of meat, for carrying out the aforementioned method comprising a support for at least one shell and comprising at least one sealing tool for the thermoformable film, wherein the sealing tool formed of a lower and an upper tool is, the upper tool has a concave abutment portion for the film and between the contact portion and other portions of the sealing tool, a gap is formed, to which a vacuum can be applied.
  • Foodstuffs are offered to consumers in addition to a fresh diet for sale in packaging. On the one hand, these packages should keep the food fresh, on the other hand, the packaging should also ensure a fresh look of the food.
  • EP 0830297 B1 Packages which ensure a fresh appearance of meat pieces over a longer period.
  • These packages are characterized by a double-layer thermoformable film, wherein a film lying below is permeable to gas and an overhead film is impermeable to gas. Due to the passage of oxygen from the interior of the shell through the film lying at the bottom in a space between the two films, a gas cushion is formed between the two films. From this gas cushion oxygen atoms can pass through the film lying at the bottom back into the interior of the shell and thus reach areas of the meat piece where the film is directly applied. A completely pinkish design of the piece of meat is the result.
  • the sealing tool is formed from a bottom and an upper tool and the upper tool has a concave abutment portion for the film, wherein between the contact portion and other portions of the sealing tool, a gap is formed, on which a vacuum can be applied.
  • the invention is based on the object to show a rational packaging method for such a package.
  • a device is to be provided with which such a method can be carried out.
  • an at least double-layered film is used and supplied to the shell and that the vacuum is applied in a pulse-like manner above the films.
  • the vacuum can therefore reach different sizes from each other, it can be applied for a short time, but can be used for a short time normal pressure situations are brought about again.
  • air is removed in addition to the secure placement of the film, which is heated to the edges of the shell during the sealing process of the film. Heated air can lead to warping of the double-layered film which, when the package is finished, produces undesirable wrinkling.
  • hot air must be removed from regions of the film that are not involved in the sealing process. This is done with the applied above the film vacuum, which dissipates more or less hot air depending on the temperature conditions, on the one hand to protect the film and on the other to allow reliable sealing of the film on the edges of the shell.
  • the double-layer film necessary for the advantageous packaging is applied in a gas-tight manner to the peripheral edge of the shell, for example, sealed.
  • vacuum is applied to the environment of the shell. Applying the vacuum takes place in two steps, by first applying the vacuum above the film and only then applying the vacuum in other areas of the dish. With the aid of the vacuum applied above the foil, the foil is pulled away from the shell, thus ensuring that the shell can contain a product projecting out of the shell beyond the plane of the shell edges. With the applied in other areas of the shell vacuum, the previous atmosphere is removed from the shell, for example, to bring in the shell a protective gas can.
  • a greater vacuum is applied above the foil than in other regions of the shell.
  • the above the film existing vacuum is intended to safely pull the film away from the shell. It must therefore have a certain strength, so that the film is also safely pulled away from the shell.
  • the film is preferably cut out of a film web after it has been applied to the edges of the shell.
  • the film can be unwound as in a known manner from a roll and fed to the shells. It then takes an outside cutting of the film after it has been sealed to the edges of the shell.
  • the device-side solution of the task for which independent protection is claimed view a device with the features of claim 4 before. It is characterized in that at least one temperature sensor is arranged in the concave contact section.
  • Temperature increases beyond predetermined limits can be reduced by lowering the heating heat and by increasing the vacuum applied to the gap between the abutment portion and other areas of the sealing tool.
  • At least one line for a protective gas runs through the sealing tool at the level of the edges of the inserted shell. After inserting the shell and guiding the film against the concave contact section, the vacuum can be reduced and the protective gas can be introduced into the sealing tool. This insertion takes place at the level of the edges of the inserted shell, so that the protective gas can easily get into the shell.
  • the device according to the invention provides the sealing form in which the shell is inserted and in which the double-layered film is sealed onto the shell.
  • the upper tool has the concave contact section, which is located like an inwardly arched dome above the shell.
  • the double-layered film can be guided against this concave abutment section due to the applied vacuum, the vacuum is adjusted so that the film engages smoothly and without wrinkles on this concave abutment section.
  • this contact section has a gap to other sections of the sealing tool. Further sections are assigned, for example, to the edges of the shell, high temperatures occur during sealing. By the distance between these areas and the abutment portion, direct transfer of high temperatures to the concave abutment portion is advantageously prevented to preclude the generation of wrinkles in the film. Since according to the invention a vacuum is applied to the intermediate space, it is also ensured that high temperatures of the atmosphere in this intermediate space can be removed by the vacuum with the atmosphere. Isolations with insulating bodies between the remaining regions of the sealing tool and the concave contact section can be dispensed with.
  • the concave system section is interrupted by at least one channel, wherein a vacuum can be applied to the channel.
  • This channel is arranged, for example, at the highest point of the concave contact section in order to apply the method provided above the film arranged above the vacuum.
  • the gap between the contact portion and other portions of the sealing tool is preferably formed as a gap.
  • the concave contact section can be formed as large as possible so that the largest possible contact surface for the film is provided.
  • the gap meets the requirements for blocking the heat transfer, especially because a vacuum is applied to the gap.
  • the apparatus for gas-tight packaging of food in the drawings has a support 1 for a shell, in which a food can be inserted.
  • the edition 1 is associated with a sealing tool 2.
  • the sealing tool 2 has an upper tool which comprises a concave contact section 3. Further contact sections 4 are assigned to edges of a tray 1 inserted in the tray.
  • the concave bearing portion 3 is pierced by channels 5. At these channels 5, a vacuum can be applied.
  • Fig. 2 shows that passes through the sealing tool 2 through a conduit 7 for inert gas.
  • the line 7 is guided over the support 1 for the shell, not shown.
