Problems solved by technology

[0007] The working speed is therefore not conducive to the shelf life of the packaged product, which is reduced (even more than 50%) compared to that obtained with a discontinuous machine with a packing chamber

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 shows an apparatus, generally indicated at 10, for continuous packaging of soft food products in a modified atmosphere. For example said product (indicated generally at 11 in the figure) may be a baked good, such as a cake, pizza or similar.

[0016] The plant 10 comprises a machine 12 for continuously packaging food products in a modified atmosphere and a conveyor device 13 for continuously supplying the machine with products in sequence.

[0017] The continuous packaging machine 12 is known per se and therefore will not be shown or described in detail here since it can easily be imagined by a technical expert. For example, the machine includes a roll 14 of plastic film forming the package. The film is unrolled at the inlet 20 of the packaging machine in order to obtain, through known guiding means and suitable sealing devices 15, a tube 16 in which the food delivered to the machine is contained. The machine also includes means (no...

Abstract

A plant (10) for the continuous packing of food products in modified atmosphere (11), comprises a machine (12) for continuous packing of food products in modified atmosphere and conveyor (13) for the continuous sequential feeding of food products to the machine. A device (21) is present at the entrance of the machine (12) that temporarily submits a product fed by the conveyor (13) to vacuum and to a modified atmosphere before being packed in modified atmosphere in the machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an innovative device for the continuous packaging of food products in a modified atmosphere. The invention also relates to a device for subjecting products to a vacuum and modified atmosphere prior to packaging. Background technique [0002] Among the packaging techniques for perishable products, vacuum packaging and packaging in modified atmospheres are well known. In the case of vacuum packaging, all air is removed from the package to ensure long-term storage of the product. However, it is well known that the appearance of packaged food products, which are significantly squeezed by the sides of the vacuum pack, is not at all attractive. [0003] In the case of packaging in a modified atmosphere, replace the air in the packaging with a suitable inert gas. Since the sides of the package do not have to be tightly attached to the product as in the case of vacuum packaging, the shape of the packaged product remains larg...
