- the steam vent seal portion of the present invention gradually recedes as the internal pressure rises due to heating in the microwave, which is very smooth and reliable. Steam was removed. At this time, the container deformation was also kept small. In the drop test, the seal was not damaged.
- a flanged square container having the shape shown in FIG. 5 and having an outer dimension of 156 mm ⁇ 133 mm and a height of 29 mm (inner volume of about 340 ml) was formed by the vacuum / pressure forming machine of FIG. (Flange width: straight part 8mm, corner part up to 17mm).
- an annular convex part 17 with an outer diameter of 8 mm, an inner diameter force of mm, and a height of 0.2 mm, which becomes the outer seal part 7 of the steam release seal part 6, is formed by a step tool.
- a steam release hole 9 having a diameter of 2.5 mm was penetrated into the center of the annular convex portion 17 by a drilling tool.
- the outer periphery of the flange was punched out with a band-shaped blade tool.
- a 12 ⁇ m thick biaxially stretched polyester film (outer layer), a 15 ⁇ m thick biaxially stretched nylon film (intermediate layer), and a 50 ⁇ m thick ethylene / propylene composite material force
- a polypropylene film (inner layer) was used, a polyurethane adhesive was interposed between the various resin layers, and a laminate comprising a lid was formed by dry lamination in the following procedure.
- an adhesive is applied to the outer layer material with a gravure roll, etc., and the solvent is evaporated and dried in a drying oven at a temperature of 80-: LOO ° C, and the adhesive layer and the intermediate layer material that are in a sticky state are attached.
- the inner layer material was bonded to this laminate, and cut into a desired small size to form the lid 4.
- the lid 4 is heat-sealed and sealed in the flange 2 of the container, and the peripheral seal 5 having a seal width of 2 mm, And the steam release seal part 6 separated from the peripheral seal part 5 was formed.
- the steam release seal 6 has an outer diameter of 8mm and a seal width of 2mm inside the annular outer seal 7. 2. It has a steam vent 9 which is a 5mm through hole.
- peripheral seal portion 5 was slightly narrowed at the other corner portion, and a corner portion protruding outward from the container was provided to form an opening seal portion 10.
- Example 3 the steam vent seal portion 6 is formed into a flat flange without forming the annular convex portion 17 that forms the outer seal portion 7 of the steam vent seal portion 6 on the flange portion 2 of the container corner portion.
- a square container with a flange having the shape shown in FIGS. In the same manner as in Example 3, a packaging container was produced, and similarly 200 g of sterile cooked rice was filled and sealed.
- Example 4 it was carried out except that the steam release hole 9 having a diameter of 2.5 mm was carotened in the center of the steam release seal part 6 and that the outer peripheral part of the flange was punched out with a band-shaped tool.
- the packaging containers shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 were produced, and similarly 200 g of sterile cooked rice was filled and sealed.
- Table 2 shows the results of heating and cooking each of 10 packaging containers filled and sealed with sterile cooked rice obtained in Examples 3 and 4 and Reference Example above in a 600 W microwave oven. Also, 20 each of the packaging containers were dropped from a height of 5 ° C and 80 cm to check whether the seal part was damaged, and the number of damaged packaging containers is shown in Table 2.
- the seal strength (average value) measured from the inside of the peripheral seal portion 5 from the inside of the container is 12 NZl5 mm
- the opening strength (average value) measured from the outside force of the seal 10 for opening is also different. It was 17NZ Cup.
- Example 3 1 0 0 Vapor out Small 0
- Example 4 1 0 0 Vapor out small Small 0 Reference
- Example 1 0 1 Separate with vapor vent hole Small 0
- the sealing performance can be maintained until the steam is removed, so the steaming effect improves the taste of cooked rice.
- the packaging container of the reference example in which any one of the formation of the convex part, the steam venting process, and the punching process of the outer peripheral part of the container is processed separately, there is a thing in which the positional deviation between the steam hole and the seal is large. Steam vent hole force due to heating When steam escapes, there are some potential forces other than the steam vent hole that cause steam to escape. There was no damage in the drop test.
