Patent NZ-286962-A (NZ)
Title: Container filling, apparatus and method for replacing existing gaseous environment in an open topped container with a controlled environment gas during the packaging process, details
Inventor: SANFILIPPO JAMES J
IPC: B65B31/00
Filed: 1996-07-09
Abstract: A controlled environment gassing system is provided for removing the existing environment from containers (12). The existing environment may be purged by passing the containers along a gas distribution manifold (22) disposed parallel to the direction of travel (16) of the containers. The manifold includes at least one region (26, 28, 30) of flow resistance disposed parallel to the direction of travel, and the manifold may have a width less than the width of the container and/or screen openings (40) sized to provide a laminarized flow, for supplying a controlled environment gas flushing stream continuously and at substantially steady state to the containers. As the containers pass along the manifold, the controlled environment flushing gas creates an optimal flow pattern which consistently and steadily removes the existing environment from the containers while preventing the flushing gas from drawing in air. Return gas chambers (83, 84) are provided to retrieve the gasses exiting the container as they are purged. Sidewalls (240) may be provided along longitudinal sides of the chamber to increase system efficiency. <IMAGE>
