Benefits of technology
"The invention is a container for transporting and preparing food products, especially for the finishing plant or distributor. The container has a tank and an inliner interchangeably arranged in the tank for receiving the product. The inliner is flexible and can adapt to the inner wall of the tank, which eliminates the need for sterilizing the tank. The inliner can be easily replaced after use, and the tank can be reused. The container is designed for efficient and safe transportation of food products, especially for sterile products. The tank has a tapering outlet opening, which makes it easier to insert and remove the inliner. The invention also includes methods for preparing and evacuating the container, as well as a holding device for the inliner. The tank can also have a closable opening for inserting and removing the inliner. The invention provides a solution for transporting and preparing food products in a safe and efficient manner."
Problems solved by technology
Also, the standards with respect to the tank, such as the leak proofness or the food-grade of the material used, are no longer as high as those for conventional tanks.

Embodiment Construction
[0060]FIG. 1a shows a front view of a container 1 according to the invention for the transport of food products. FIG. 1b shows a side view of the container 1. The containers serve especially the transport of food products, such as fruit preparations which may also include fruit pieces. When using these basic substances in pH-neutral products, such as pudding etc., a sterilized container is required.
[0061] In the container 1 according to the invention, the product is no longer filled into a tank 3 directly, but is filled into an inliner (will be described later) interchangeably arranged in the tank 3.
[0062] The container 1 according to the invention is based on a conventional standard container, to which, in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1a and 1b, changes have, however, been introduced in the bottom and lid portion.
[0063] The container 1 comprises a tank 3, a pedestal 5, an outlet 7 in the lower portion of the tank 3 which, in this embodiment, is funneled, and a lid portion...

The invention relates to a container for food products, especially for sterile basic food substances, comprising a tank and an inliner interchangeably arranged in the tank for receiving the product. The invention also relates to a method for transporting food products in such a container. Moreover, the invention relates to a tank and an inliner for use in a container for food products. Such a container facilitates the transport, and the amounts of energy needed to clean the container are considerably reduced.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a container for food products and to a method for transporting food products by using a tank. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Conventionally, food products, especially liquid or flowable food products, are transported in tanks for transporting them from the manufacturer or distributor, respectively, to the user. As high hygienic standards are frequently set with respect to the transport of food products, sterilized tanks have to be used for certain product families. Conventionally, this is effected by steaming the interior of the tank. The sterilization method thereby takes 20 to 30 minutes per tank, and enormous amounts of energy, especially in the form of vapor, are required therefor. [0003] Apart from this laborious sterilization method the conventional tanks have additional drawbacks. The tank emptied by the user must be cleaned after it has been returned to the manufacturer. This may involve a large amount of l...
