  • Vacuuming of food is known primarily in grocery stores, Hotels, restaurants, camping and leisure areas, for hunters and anglers and for home use by mobile Vacuum packaging devices in the form of table-top devices for welding of small and medium-sized food products.
  • This Vacuum packaging devices can be designed as chamber devices where the vacuum packaging bags with the one to be vacuumed Welded well in a chamber of a device, or as simple table devices in the form of a film sealing device, where the vacuum packaging bag with the one to be vacuumed Well placed outside of the tabletop and only the Bag opening is inserted into the film sealer.
  • the used Vacuum packaging bags generally consist of two Plastic film pieces of different structure attached to their two Long sides and a short side welded airtight together are and have a bag opening, which to each other the inside of the vacuum packaging bag in the area the bag opening after vacuuming under the influence of heat by building an airtight sealing seam with each other welded to a hermetically sealed seal of the Ensure vacuum packaging bag.
  • the films of the vacuum packaging bag can be smooth or profiled on the inside have a raised structure. With these for welding the plastic film bag used mobile, small and handy The desired vacuum is safe for vacuum welding machines and reached quickly. Such a vacuum welding device is in the DE 195 01 259 A1.
  • This device uses a vacuum generated and the air only from the to be vacuumed, the contents containing foil bag, which is outside of its bag opening of the device is sucked.
  • a big problem with vacuuming of foods that contain liquid, such as Meat, sausage or roast or with some liquid to be welded in is that when the Air from the vacuum packaging bag the liquid, for example Meat juice is pulled into the vacuum packaging machine what incomplete vacuum packaging may or may not result Damage to the vacuum packaging device, to the point of unusability of the vacuum packaging device.
  • the object of the invention based on a vacuum packaging process mentioned at the beginning to be carried out in such a way that the disadvantages mentioned when vacuuming of liquid containing or to be packed with liquid Food does not arise and at the same time the vacuum packaging process safe, quick and practical to carry out is.
  • a liquid absorption element as a vacuum resistant and hollow bodies with openings is formed, that together with a food to be vacuumed so in a vacuum packaging bag is inserted that the liquid absorption element between an area to be welded a bag opening of the vacuum packaging bag and the food is arranged and wherein the liquid receiving element after vacuuming and sealing the vacuum packaging bag with the food in the vacuum packaging bag is provided.
  • Hollow body-shaped liquid absorption element in preferred Embodiments as pressure-resistant, elastically deformable or as a rigid tubular hollow body with openings is provided.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment is seen in that the liquid receiving element as a helical Spring element is formed.
  • the openings on the circumference of the liquid absorption element are preferably provided as perforations or in the form of slots, can also use other shapes or geometries to accommodate the when vacuuming from the food or existing have excess liquid.
  • the materials from which the fluid intake element is formed is plastic, metal or ceramic. This ensures that the liquid intake element is resistant to food liquids is to prevent corrosion or long-term decomposition to prevent.
  • the design of the liquid receiving element according to the invention as a vacuum-proof, tubular and opening-shaped receiving element has the advantage that it can always be adapted to the different sizes of the vacuum packaging bag and the different sizes and shapes of the foodstuffs to be vacuumed after insertion into the vacuum packaging bag. Due to the design of the liquid receiving element with its openings, which is favorable in terms of production technology, and due to its simple design, the liquid receiving element is simple and inexpensive to produce and reuse, the length and size of the liquid receiving element being wide, without great manufacturing expenditure, depending on the vacuum packaging bags used for vacuum sealing devices Assortment can be produced.
  • liquid absorption element it is essential to the new use of a liquid absorption element according to the invention in a vacuum packaging bag that when vacuuming, no more liquid in the vacuum sealer is also drawn in, since the liquid absorption element between the food to be packaged and the food to be sealed Area of the edge of the vacuum packaging bag to the vacuuming food is positioned upstream.
  • the liquid absorption element both manufacturing technology inexpensive, as well as material-saving so that it fits the different vacuum packaging bags and the different Adapts forms of food and after cleaning, reusable at any time in the dishwasher, for example thus inexpensive for a user and beneficial for the environment can be used since it does not have to be disposed of after use.
  • liquid absorption element Another great advantage of the liquid absorption element according to the invention is that it also absorbs the gases which often arise during a vacuum packaging process, so that it also fulfills the function of a ventilation means. Mainly, careful handling of the vacuum packaging devices is achieved by means of the liquid absorption element.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 show a vacuum packaging bag 1, which consists of two rectangularly shaped pieces of film 2, 3, which either have a smooth or structured shape on the inside and along their long sides 4 and 5 and along a transverse side 6 designed as a bottom by means of a weld seam 7 are welded together.
  • the vacuum packaging bag 1 also has a bag opening 8 through which the filling material, a foodstuff 9, for example a roast or another water-containing foodstuff, is inserted.
  • a liquid-absorbing element 10 is formed which, according to FIGS. 3 and 5, is designed as a hollow body having openings 11, 12, 13, 14 which are resistant to vacuum and has openings 15 distributed around its circumference in accordance with FIG.
  • the liquid-receiving element 10 which shields the food 9 from the bag opening 8 during the vacuum packaging process, collects the liquid escaping from the food 9 to be vacuum-sealed or any excess liquid present in its interior by means of its openings 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and remains welding the corresponding area of the bag opening 8 by means of a weld seam 16 together with the food 9 in the vacuum packaging bag 1.
  • the vacuum packaging bag 1 is inserted with its bag opening 8 into a vacuum packaging device, not shown, which is known per se, for example a film sealing device designed as a mobile table device, and the air located inside the packaging bag 1 is extracted.
  • the liquid element 10 designed as a hollow body can preferably be designed as a pressure-resistant, rigid hollow body made of ceramic or as an elastically deformable hollow body made of plastic with end openings 13, 14 and openings 15 distributed over its circumference.
  • the openings 15 distributed around the circumference of the hollow body can be in different variations, evenly or unevenly distributed over the circumference and have the same or uneven sizes and can be designed in different geometries.
  • the length of the liquid absorption element 10 is matched to the different designs of the vacuum packaging bags and the amount or type of food 9 to be vacuumed.
