A method for treating open cut edges of a packaging sleeve (S), blank or web material of a packaging material rolled up into a roll, in particular a composite cardboard/plastics material, by applying or introducing a disinfectant-containing treatment agent to or into the outer region of the cut edges. To provide a particularly resource-efficient composite packaging and a production method required for this purpose, it is proposed that at least some of the treatment agent is not applied directly to the cut edges, but that a load carrier (9) is loaded, which load carrier absorbs the treatment agent so that an actively sterilizing atmosphere which is created then acts on the open cut edges of the packaging sleeve (S), blank or web material and performs the desired sterilization. The invention also relates to a packaging material, to a combipack produced therefrom and to a container for receiving the packaging material.

A process is disclosed for controlling a plurality of magnetrons of a thermal processing tunnel in accordance with a preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme. In some implementations, the process can include the steps of: receiving an identifier indicating a predefined packaged food product configuration; based on the identifier, obtaining a preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme that is preconfigured based on at least one characteristic of the predefined packaged food product configuration, wherein the preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme is preconfigured to cause at least one of the plurality of magnetrons to have a different execution characteristic than at least one other magnetron of the plurality of magnetrons; and transmitting at least one instruction in accordance with the preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme to a signal controller that drives the plurality of magnetrons, thereby causing the plurality of magnetrons to execute in accordance with the preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme.

A multifunctional vacuum sealing machine which includes a shell, and a vacuumizing device and a sealing device which are arranged in the shell, wherein the sealing device includes a hot welding device; cross sealing can be performed at a connector position twice, thus forming a completely-closed sealing line; and during vacuumizing, while a bag to be vacuumized is clamped and sealed by an upper cavity and a lower cavity, the bag is punched by a cutter head in the upper cavity, the bag is vacuumized, a punching position is in a closed area surrounded by one sealing line with the adjacent first heating wires and the second heating wire or in a closed area surrounded by the first heating wires and the second heating wires, and after vacuumizing, an opening is sealed at an original position, so that it is guaranteed that air cannot enter the vacuumized bag during sealing.

One embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for processing sealed plastic containers having a first headspace pressure. The apparatus may include: an open entry port or tunnel for continuously receiving containers; a sanitizer configured to sanitize outside surfaces of the received containers; a perforator configured to perforate or open a cap or seal of the containers within the apparatus; a sealer configured to seal the perforation or opening formed in the cap or seal of the containers; an open exit port of tunnel for continuously exiting the processed containers; and a conveyor system configured to transporting or convey the containers from the open entry port or tunnel, through and within the apparatus, to the open exit port or tunnel and away from the sanitized environment of the apparatus. The apparatus may be further configured to maintain a sanitized environment within the apparatus, perforator, and/or sealer.
