Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for packaging fresh vegetable products and to a device for carrying out this method.
- the technical field of the invention is that of the manufacture of packaging machines for fresh plant products.
- a packaging machine which comprises a substantially sealed closure means of the container, such as a heat sealer.
- a perforated film that can be sealed to form and / or close a low gas permeable container, such as a tray or bag.
- Patent EP351115 describes a method of packaging plants using a perforated polymer film; the film has a perforation density ranging from 10 to 1000 perforations per square meter, a water vapor transmission rate of less than 800 m -1 , per day and per atmosphere at 25 ° C and at 75% relative humidity as well as an oxygen permeability of less than 200000 cm 3 / m / day; the perforations have a diameter of around 50 microns.
- perforated films The disadvantage of perforated films is that their use is optimal only for one or more specific plants and for certain conditions (particularly for certain temperatures) determined conservation products.
- An object of the invention is to provide an improved process for packaging fresh plant products and a device for its implementation.
- An object of the invention is to provide a method of packaging fresh plant products and a device for its implementation, which remedy, at least in part, the disadvantages of known systems of plant packaging.
- a method for packaging plant products in a container sealed with a perforated film in which the film is perforated in particular according to at least one characteristic of the container such as its volume. and / or at least one characteristic of the plant product such as its respiratory intensity and / or its mass and type, and preferably at least one conservation feature such as the conservation temperature provided for the plant products considered .
- identical perforations are produced, and the number of perforations per unit area of the film is varied to adapt the gas permeability of the perforated film to a predetermined container and product, as well as to the expected storage temperature for this product.
- a device for packaging a plant product in a container comprising a wall made of a film material, which comprises a substantially sealed closure means of the container.
- the packaging machine or device further comprises a means for perforating the film material with a variable density of perforation; this makes it possible to optimize the conservation of the vegetable product packaged in the container, by adapting the permeability of the container to the metabolism of the plant product.
- the device comprises alternately means for controlling the diameter of the perforations on the one hand and the perforation density on the other hand, which comprises a camera and a screen for viewing the images of the camera.
- the display screen also displays the image of a target perforation diameter and the image of the target perforation density.
- a drift of the effective diameter of perforation relative to the target diameter can thus be corrected by appropriate adjustment of the perforation density with the aid of said adjustment member.
- This body of This setting will also be used if there is a deviation of the perforation density from the corresponding setpoint.
- the invention makes it possible, by adjusting - which can be manual - the perforation density achieved, to produce successively, from a single roll of film (which can be perforated or not), a multitude of portions of the tape. this film which have different densities of perforations.
- the invention makes it possible to verify by visual control that the diameter of the perforations on the one hand and the perforation density on the other hand are in accordance with the set values, and makes it possible to anticipate, in the event of observed differences, by a correction of the perforation density using said adjustment.
- a drive means of the film material comprises two rollers 27 rotating in opposite directions to cause the advancement of the film strip 32 of the station 51 to the station 52, before the evacuation according to the arrow 26 of the heat-sealed containers.
- the band 32 is perforated, as illustrated schematically in FIG. 3, according to - for example at least two - distinct densities of perforations which are respectively determined according to the type of container, the type of plant, and where appropriate the type of conservation that have been chosen.
- These means essentially comprise a laser transmitter 44 whose operation is controlled by a control unit 42 to which is connected a member 47 for controlling the variation of spacing of the perforations to be made.
- the transmitter 44 is connected by a link 43 to the control unit 42; in order to allow the synchronization of the emission of successive pulses of a pulse train of the laser beam 45 for producing the perforations in the film strip 32, with the advance of this band 32, a sensor 40 for moving the the band 32 may be provided, which is connected by a link 41 to the control unit 42.
- the control unit 42 is connected (by a synchronization link schematically represented by a line 60) to the drive actuators of the rollers 27 and / or of the tool 25.
- the axis 46 of the beam 45 emitted by the laser 44 is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the band 32 to be perforated.
- Another means of perforation could be provided, including a mechanical means or a means of perforation by electric discharge; however, laser perforation is preferred.
- a capture and treatment system for emitted gases resulting from perforation of the film by the laser.
- the use of the device 20 is as follows: the user determines a spacing step perforations to achieve depending on the nature and mass of fruit or vegetable to be placed in a tray 23, 24, according the volume and permeability of this tray, and if necessary depending on the storage temperature provided by this fruit or vegetable in this tray. This determination is made based on tables or charts, from which the user determines the adjustment value of the adjusting member 47 corresponding to this spacing step desirable.
- the unit 42 After adjusting the member 47 and placing the fruit or vegetable in the two containers 23, 24 (step 11, Figure 2), the unit 42 causes the advance of the film (step 12 Figure 2) for the establishment of the portion 32a opposite the tool 25 and trays 23, 24 containing the plants to be packaged.
- a control means 61 makes it possible to verify that the perforation diameter on the one hand and the perforation density on the other hand are in accordance with the corresponding setpoint values.
- This means 61 essentially comprises a camera disposed between the perforation means 51 and the means 52 for closing the container, which is connected to a display screen associated with this camera. Since the target diameter and the set value of the perforation density are also displayed on this control screen, an evaluation of the drifts of the actual diameter or the effective perforation density is made by the operator who can initiate a correction by modifying the perforation density to compensate for the drifts observed both for the diameter of the perforations and for the perforation density.
- the invention makes it possible to produce a compact apparatus, which can be easily transported to the fruit and vegetable production sites for their immediate conditioning after harvest, which makes it possible to further improve their conservation.
