An apparatus for vacuumizing and sealing a package includes a plurality of platens and vacuum chambers, each chamber adapted to mate with a dedicated one of the platens; a conveying system for conveying the platens and chambers along a generally angular path having a single axis of rotation; an automated loading assembly having a linear component and configured to load a package onto each of the platens; an automated unloading assembly having a linear portion and configured to unload a vacuumized, sealed package from each loaded platen onto an outfeed conveyor; and a vacuumizing/sealing system configured to cause relative movement of each chamber/platen pair, along a portion of the angular path, to form therebetween an air-tight enclosure accommodating the package and effect vacuumization and sealing of the package.

A cardboard dispensing apparatus for providing cardboards at a food product supply area comprises a cardboard store for storing cardboards that form a cardboard stack, a cardboard buffer storage for storing a plurality of cardboards, and a cardboard conveyor for conveying the cardboards from the cardboard buffer storage to the food product supply area. A cardboard extracting device is configured to extract cardboards from the cardboard store and move the cardboards into the cardboard buffer storage, while the cardboard conveyor is configured to remove the cardboards from the cardboard buffer storage and convey them to the food product supply area.

The present invention includes a method and method for preserving a fish or seafood product comprising: contacting an emulsion with a meat product for a time sufficient to, wherein the emulsion comprises by weight: 10% to 50% water, 0.1 to 4.0% Quillaja, 0.1% to 8% meat flavoring, 60% to 85% high oleic sunflower oil, meat seasoning, 0-2.0% salt; salt, and optionally adding one or more stabilizers; a first pasteurizing step; vacuum packing the fish or seafood in a moisture and oxygen-impermeable packaging film; a second pasteurizing step.

Disclosed is a slicing and collecting device for processing frozen meat sheets, including a frame, and a slicing mechanism is arranged above the frame; a sliding plate is arranged on one side of the slicing mechanism, and a bagging mechanism is arranged on one side of the sliding plate far away from the slicing mechanism; a blocking structure is arranged between the sliding plate and the bagging mechanism, a loading mechanism is arranged on the other side of the slicing mechanism, a storage mechanism is arranged on one side of the loading mechanism far away from the slicing mechanism, and a bottom of the loading mechanism is communicated with the storage mechanism.

A computer server includes processor and memory hardware. The processor hardware executes instructions including parsing a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from a first user agent to identify a first data object matching a set of characteristics and generating a new data element based on the HTTP request. The instructions include, in response to the first data object being present: extracting a first set of serialized data elements and serializing them with the new data element to generate a second data object. The instructions include, in response to the first data object being absent and a user associated with the first user agent being identifiable: determining a second set of serialized data elements based on an identity of the user, and serializing them with the new data element to generate the second data object. The instructions include transmitting an HTTP response including the second data object.

A method and a device for packaging fresh products, in particular meat and sausage products, where the fresh product is introduced into a container simultaneously with an absorbent base.

Described herein is a method of providing cooling to a storage container. The method including the steps of providing a feed of a liquid and at least one pack; cooling the feed to a slurry temperature to provide a slurry feed; dividing at least one slurry portion from the slurry feed to provide at least one refrigerant portion; housing at least one refrigerant portion in a corresponding pack to provide the at least one refrigeration pack; and, enclosing the at least one refrigeration pack within the storage container to cool an interior space of the storage container.

A method for formatting food products on a conveyor device includes a) receiving the food products in a plurality of parallel conveyor tracks, some of which include product gaps; b) outputting the food products into the parallel conveyor tracks in a specific product format; c) detecting the product supply in the conveyor tracks incoming on the input side individually for each of the conveyor tracks; and d) filling the product gaps in the conveyor tracks with food products, so that on the output side all of the parallel conveyor tracks are supplied with the food products. The product gaps are also filled with food products from a product buffer in that at least one of the food products is transferred from the product buffer to the conveyor track only when an odd number of product gaps exist in one of the conveyor tracks.
