Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for packaging products, including food, chemical or pharmaceutical products, to a device for implementing said method, as well as a tray of packaging of products.
  • Product storage can be extended by packaging products in vacuum or inert atmosphere, by injection of a neutral gas at the welding station.
  • the document EP 0 652 155 A1 describes a method, a device and a packaging container for food, chemical or pharmaceuticals using a first strip of thermoplastic material or thermoformable and a second strip of thermoplastic material or heat-sealable.
  • the invention also relates to a device for conditioning products in thermoformed trays, using a single strip of thermoplastic or thermoformable material, comprising means for thermoforming of cavities and associated covers in said strip, means of cutting on three sides around the covers, means of loading the cavities with products, means for folding the covers on the cavities and means for heat sealing the covers to cavities for constituting trays containing said products;
  • the invention also relates to a packaging tray of products obtained by implementing a method according to the invention in using a device according to the invention.
  • the cavity and the cover have edges with distinct contours, so that provide two tabs capable of being separated to facilitate the opening of the tray.
  • a device according to the invention is consisting of online assembly of functional modules supported by load-bearing frames for treating a single strip of thermoplastic material or thermoformable unwound from a roll 1.
  • the means of gripping and driving the first strip of thermoplastic material constituted by the horizontal chains are in themselves known, in particular by document FR 2.027.741 in the name of applicant for this application, and do not require further description Detailed.
  • thermoplastic strip of roll 1 is unwound flat to arrive in a first zone 2 adapted to receive a device 3 of preheating of the strip of thermoplastic material.
  • Preheating is performed for example by means of one or more metal plates having good thermal conductivity.
  • metal plates having good thermal conductivity.
  • a heating element for example a armored resistor electrically insulated from the metal plate.
  • thermoforming zone 4 comprising a thermoforming module 5.
  • thermoforming technique used in zone 4 of thermoforming is for example the thermoforming technique known as "negative" simple ", the most common technique in which we first heating the strip of material to be thermoformed by applying it to the contact of a heating plate 5a, then the actual deformation by blowing compressed air through an upper heating plate 5b provided with this effect of appropriate orifices.
  • thermoforming module 5 could comply to the technique known as "negative with mechanical assistance", technique in which the film is heated by a contact on either side of this by sandwiching between two thermally regulated plates possibly at different temperatures, then by lowering a piston for example metallic to pre-stretch the strip of performed material and finally by plating the thermoplastic strip on the mold by air injection or compressed gas through the piston provided for this purpose with suitable orifices.
  • negative with mechanical assistance technique in which the film is heated by a contact on either side of this by sandwiching between two thermally regulated plates possibly at different temperatures, then by lowering a piston for example metallic to pre-stretch the strip of performed material and finally by plating the thermoplastic strip on the mold by air injection or compressed gas through the piston provided for this purpose with suitable orifices.
  • thermoforming line is constituted in double line allowing the simultaneous conditioning in parallel of two trays.
  • Each hollow cover A is thus detached from the strip on three sides by only being connected to the strip of thermoformable material by the aforementioned fasteners.
  • Guide rails or pads are advantageously provided to support and guide the covers A driven by advancing in successive steps the strip of thermoplastic material.
  • the cavities B are filled in a zone 10 for filling products to be packaged, or manually, either by 11 pouring or dosing devices.
  • the covers A are folded down over the cavities B around the aforementioned fasteners in a drawdown zone 12 thanks to a medium 13 lid flap.
  • thermoformable strip in which the mechanical elements located above of the thermoformable strip have not been shown for clarity, we finds that the folding of the covers A in the area 12 shows contours cut C in the thermoformable strip.
  • the covers A folded down and cavities B are then entrained in a welding zone 14, in which two welding bells 15a, 15b come apply to the edges of the covers A and cavity B to weld them so as to make a tight junction.
  • the module heat sealing 15a, 15b optionally incorporates an underlayer vacuum depending on the nature of the materials to be welded and the products to be contain (indeed, for certain emulsified products or with a high content of liquid, you can only carry out a partial vacuum under penalty of boiling the product to be packaged).
  • the trays are cooled sealed containing the product packaged in a zone 16 of cooling, in which two cooling bells 17a, 17b cool the trays, and in particular the tray edges which have just been welded in zone 14.
  • thermoplastic strip At this stage, the cooled trays are still attached to the thermoplastic strip, because the edges of cavities B have not been detached from the thermoplastic strip.
  • This separation is carried out in the final cutting zone 18 at by means of cutting discs 19a, 19b counter-rotating.
  • Discs 19a, 19b cut the edges of the edges of cavities A, which are wound on recovery drums 20.
  • thermoforming phase of zone 4 carried out in module 5 to simultaneously constitute a cavity B and a cover A in the strip of thermoplastic material advancing step by step in advance predetermined according to the dimensions of the corresponding mold.
  • FIG. 9 represents a preferred embodiment of the invention and illustrates with references identical to those of the preceding figures the setting implementation of the invention by folding the covers A over the cavities B filled with product P, so as to release in the thermoformed strip contours C cut out of separation between successive trays.
  • FIG. 10 schematically represents an embodiment preferred tray according to the invention.
  • the cover A has rectangular flanges 22 which protrude rounded edges of cavity B while cavity B has a tongue 23 able to be moved away from the corner 22 to allow by simple pull easy opening of the tray.
