This invention relates generally to the packaging and preservation of granular products. More specifically, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for flushing undesirable residual gases from a flow of granular product during a packaging of the product, the displacement of the undesirable gases from the product preserving the product's freshness.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to domed metal containers, and more specifically to pressurized metallic food containers with liquid nitrogen wells and various closure mechanisms. In some embodiments, the metallic food containers are thin-walled aluminum and are pressurized using liquid nitrogen to maintain strength and integrity. The container can have a nitrogen well to receive liquid nitrogen and keep the liquid nitrogen away from the food stuff packaged in the container. In various embodiments, the metallic food container comprises a domed bottom portion shaped and sized to nest with a food stuff packaged in the container. In some embodiments, the container is sealed with a tear away lid, a screw-on lid, or a metallic end closure double seamed to the container.

A process and apparatus can be used to vacuum skin package a product arranged on a support comprising providing a film portion above said support with the product being arranged between the support and the film portion; air tightly fixing the film portion to the support; removing at least a portion of air from a volume underneath said film portion through said at one nozzle inserted in an interspace between the film portion and the support.

A method of making a pressurized packaged liquid beverage including filling a container including a one-way valve with a liquid mixture including a base liquid and a gum; sealing the container; introducing a volume of gas through the one-way valve after sealing the container; and agitating the container. When the container is opened, the liquid mixture increases in volume and separates into a liquid phase and a drinkable foam phase, which may persist for an extended period of time. The base liquid includes milk, coffee, fruit juice, or mixtures thereof.

The sealing device includes a bag conveying mechanism, a sealing module, and a module conveying mechanism. The sealing module includes a base and an actuator, and a first sealing block and a second sealing block arranged on the base. The actuator is configured to open and close the clamping opening and includes a push rod and a horizontal actuation track. When the sealing module is moved along the conveying path of the module conveying mechanism, the horizontal guide post slides along the horizontal actuation track, and the horizontal actuation track drives the push rod via the horizontal guide post to move horizontally. Thus, the clamping opening is opened or closed.
