A package for dairy products, in particular solid or semi-solid dairy products, including a bag provided with at least one pair of lateral walls reciprocally joined by means of first welding lines and at least one bottom wall, so as to define a housing compartment. A dairy product is housed in the compartment defined inside the bag. The bag includes second welding lines made in correspondence with top parts of the bag and positioned on opposite sides of the bottom wall. The second welding lines are disposed diagonally with respect to the first welding lines and with respect to the bottom wall and configured and oriented so as to progressively narrow the housing compartment toward the bottom wall of the bag. The dairy product includes at least a central support zone on the bottom wall and the bag includes at least lateral support zones defined by the opposite top parts.

A sealing machine and method for sealing a preformed tray (2) with a plastic film (26), the method comprising a cooling step in which, by acting on the outside of the tray (2), heat is removed at least from the bottom wall (3) of the tray (2) while the heated plastic film (26) is applied over the tray (2) and a food product (25), and the sealing machine (1) comprising a supporting element which defines a housing (7) which has a fixed bottom surface (9) suitable for making contact, in use, with the bottom wall (3) of the tray (2), a plurality of ducts (19) which define a flow path (20) for a cooling fluid in the supporting element, and a cooling system (17) configured to cool the cooling fluid bringing it to a temperature equal to or less than 10° C., and preferably equal to or less than 6° C.

A device for heating wrapped batches of products and a packaging installation provided with such a heating device, specifically having a manifold of heating elements with lines of orifices and a blocking device for the orifices using a mobile plate having for each line of orifices openings, at least two successive openings having different lengths, to go the direction of movement a) from a position blocking at least a first line of orifices and opening at least a second line of orifices, b) to another position opening the first line of orifices whilst maintaining open the second line of orifices.

The invention relates to chemical and pharmaceutical industry, in particular to technologies of obtaining sterile drugs, drug substances and cosmetic products used in the form of solutions or emulsions, and comprising poloxamer. The thermal method for sterilizing aqueous poloxamer solutions is provided, the method including: dissolving a poloxamer in water for injection; performing the sterilizing filtration of the aqueous poloxamer solution simultaneously with filling sterile containers with the filtered poloxamer solution; sealing the containers containing the poloxamer solution; applying a thermal sterilization with steam under pressure to the containers containing the poloxamer solution, and cooling them, wherein the thermal sterilization of the containers containing the poloxamer solution with steam under pressure is performed under the pressure between 82.4 and 107.8 kPa.

Method for processing hot-filled plastic containers are provided. In some embodiments, the method may include hot-filling a plastic container, sealing the container, and conveying the sealed container, each with an inner annular wall and a push-up portion in a first position. In some embodiments, the method may further include creating a vacuum pressure in the hot-filled and sealed container and repositioning the push-up portion from the first position to a second position under a mechanical force.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing plastic containers within an open aseptic converter chamber comprising a sanitized environment, a supply line, a sanitizer device, a perforator device, a sealing device, and a conveyer. During operation, the method includes: providing and filling a container with heated or heatable liquid including water; sealing the container with a seal or cap; cooling the container to create a first headspace pressure; enclosing the container within the chamber; creating an opening in the seal or cap within a sanitized environment of the perforator device; increasing the first headspace pressure to a second headspace pressure by introduction of a sanitized fluid; resealing the container within a sanitized environment of the sealing device; and, transporting or conveying the sealed container away from the chamber.

Method for processing hot-filled plastic containers are provided. In some embodiments, the method may include hot-filling a plastic container, sealing the container, and conveying the sealed container, each with an inner annular wall and a push-up portion in a first position. In some embodiments, the method may further include creating a vacuum pressure in the hot-filled and sealed container and repositioning the push-up portion from the first position to a second position under a mechanical force.

A single serving edible and dissolvable pod containing a powder enclosed by a film. The pod is a single serving edible and dissolvable pod configured to dissolve in water or other liquids. The pod includes a dissolvable film of food grade ingredients that dissolve quickly in hot or cold water. When the film from the pod dissolves in the water, then the supplement is free to mix with the water to create a nutritional beverage designed for post workouts. The pod is formed with a lower panel forming a cavity for receiving the powder and covered by an upper panel. The powder defines a Ph sufficient to prevent degradation of the film.

A system that dispenses precise amounts of ingredients in sequential steps that formulate a craft cocktail, mixed drink or shot into a single serve beverage container. The system then closes the container and a resulting vacuum is created that hermetically seals the lid to the container. The sealed container is then agitated in a prescribed motion to mix the contents as they would normally be done by expert individuals in the field of mixology or bartending. The system comprises of a series of stations that inject ingredients, a closing mechanism for the lid resulting in a vacuum that seals the lid to the container body, method of maintaining the lid on to the container body until vacuum is established, and agitating mechanism that precisely mixes the ingredients into themselves prior to finish packing.

The disclosure relates to a deep-drawing packaging machine with a forming station for deep-drawing trays into a film, a loading stretch for filling products into the trays, and a sealing station for sealing the trays. The deep-drawing packaging machine further comprises at least one vacuum cooling station which is disposed in a direction of transport upstream of the sealing station and which is formed for vacuum cooling the products placed into the trays along the loading stretch. The disclosure furthermore relates to a method for vacuum cooling products.
