Abstract:
A bag formed from flexible thinwall sheet material for dewatering comestibles by use of centrifugal force, comprising:an upper compartment having an unsealed open top and defined by a front wall, a back wall and a bottom formed by a discontinuous weld line joining said walls to provide one or more throats for passage of water therethrough, anda lower compartment defined by a front wall, a back wall, said discontinuous weld line, and a selectively openable and reclosable bottom closure,said discontinuous weld line disposed between said upper compartment and said lower compartment,said closure comprising two substantially continuous zipper type elements including a female element and an interlocking male element,whereby said closure resists separation under the elevated hydrostatic pressure generated in said lower compartment by the centrifugal force of dewatering.
