| 20090130275 | Insulating Container - The current invention relates to a thermal-insulating container ( | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090155435 | Flip Tray - A flip tray is provided that includes a transparent, compartmentalized container body and a flexible sealing sheet sealed to partition walls and to the peripheral rim of the compartmentalized container body. Plant material with active respiratory activity such as fruits and vegetables are disposed in the compartments of the transparent container body. Each of the compartments exchanges respiratory gases through the micro-perforated sealing sheet individually in a controlled manner. A tray having a completely flat bottom is secured to the container body so as to underlie the flexible sealing sheet and includes peripheral vent conformations. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090162506 | Methods of preparing food and a multi-compartment container and lid assembly for practicing the methods - Methods of preparing food and a divided container system used in the preparation. The container system has a master tray having an interior portion and a peripheral top edge, at least one insertable sub-tray positionable within the interior portion of the master tray, in which each sub-tray includes a peripheral top edge and an interior portion, and a lid for sealing both the master tray and the at least one insertable sub-tray. There are means securing a sub-tray in place within in the master tray. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100233334 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PACKAGED FOOD PRODUCT - A process for producing a food enclosed in sealed containers which is free from a trouble during production that water spills from the containers or a perforating jig falls into the containers and in which a heat treatment can be conducted without causing quality unevenness. A food ( | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110268854 | Food Portioning System - A system for providing single portion viscous or semi-viscous food products utilizes an indexing conveyor to serially dispense pieces of top packaging material thereon, deliver a precise volume of the single serve food product, deposit a top packaging material piece thereon, press the sandwiched layer together to form the final shape of the food product and, optionally, heat seal the top and bottom material pieces to enclose the food product. Optional system layouts include cooling and/or oxygen depleted zones and multiple lane operation and serially adjacent rows of system components wherein the indexing conveyor moves forward by two increments at each indexing cycle. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120045558 | METHOD FOR THE VACUUM SKIN PACKAGING OF PRODUCTS WITH IRREGULAR SHARP SURFACES - A method for packaging products with mechanically abusive surfaces, such as crustaceans and shellfish, comprises the use of a twin film as the top skin film in vacuum skin packaging process. The twin film comprises at least two component films superimposed the one on the other and not welded, bonded, adhered, glued or sealed together. The invention also relates to a vacuum skin package comprising a food product selected from the group consisting of crustacean and shellfish loaded on a support and a twin skin film draped over the product and welded to the support. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20130156909 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING COMPLETELY COOKED RICE WHICH IS COMPLETELY COOKED IN STERILIZED CONDITION - The present invention provides a method of manufacturing packaged completely cooked rice or a packaged completely cooked mixed rice, comprising a steaming process of sterilizing and primarily cooking the contents in the opened container by filling the controlled steam having high pressure and high temperature in the steaming unit; a cooking process of additionally sterilizing the contents in the opened container by filling the controlled steam having high pressure and high temperature in the steaming unit, and supplying water in the contents, and then completely cooking the contents; and a sealing process of supplying clean nitrogen gas to the completely cooked contents in the sealing unit and sealing the upper end of the opened container with the lid film, wherein the steaming unit, cooking unit and the sealing unit are connected in turn in the one container so that the opened container can be input into and output from each of the units. Therefore, the contents selectively combined from various cereal crops including rice, nuts and other additives including powders of the cereal crops, the nuts or the like are provided in a completely cooked state so that a user can eat instantly without a separate heating process. | 06-20-2013 |
| 20140308413 | System and Method for Packaging - In one embodiment of an apparatus and process for packaging foodstuffs or other materials in a rigid container sealed by a flexible cover, a desired quantity of material to be packaged containing or together with some water or other liquid is placed in the container, the flexible cover is secured on the container so as to leave at least one unsealed opening, the container is heated and/or placed in a partial vacuum to bring the liquid above its boiling point to cause or permit vapor generated by the boiling liquid to expel other gases from the container through the unsealed opening, and the container is sealed while gas or vapor is still flowing out of the container through the unsealed opening. | 10-16-2014 |
