  • Liquids Filling and Packaging
    pg_0001 Page 1 of 3 home .cd3wd .ar .cn .de .en .es .fr .id .it .ph .po .ru .sw LIQUIDS FILLING AND PACKAGING Liquids can be either thin (eg oils, milk, syrups and juices) or thick and viscous (eg sauces, pickles, hot jams and confectionery). The type of filler used is different for each group of liquids . The packaging requirements of different liquids are similar in that the liquid must be contained but they differ according to whether the liquid is spoiled by air, light, bacteria etc. Filling Low viscosity (thin) liquids The simplest filler is a jug but this is often too slow for small businesses. A simple filler can be made by fitting one or more taps to the base of a bucket, see Figure 1. The bucket should be stainless steel for hot acid liquids (eg fruit juices) or food grade plastic for cold filling. Iron and copper should not generally be used in food handling. A more sophisticated system in which the volume of liquid filled into file:///D:/cd3wddvd/NoExe/Master/dvd001/dvd1/ITDG/LIQPACK/EN/pg_0001.htm 08/ 11/ 2011 pg_0001 Page 2 of 3 volume of liquid filled into iseach controlled, container is obtained using a piston filler, see Figure 2. This is made from glass or the materials described above. Viscous liquids Because these liquids do not flow easily, the piston filler is the preferred option. Liquids that contain particles Both low and high viscosity liquids may contain particles of food (eg fruit, puips, sauces and pickles). The fillers described above will tend to become blocked by particles and a simple filler made from a stainless steel or plastic funnel is more suitable, Figure 3.

  • OMVE FS210 & FS211 Clean-Fill
    ® FS210 & FS211 Clean-Fill Hygienic Filling & Closing Bench When hygienic filling is your priority There are still many laboratories and pilot plants that fill and close the heat-treated product in an open contaminated atmosphere. Moreover the filling line has not been part of a CIP and/or SIP procedure. This will create unacceptable variations in the quality of your trials and doesn’t give a representative simulation of an industrial process line. With the special designed Clean-Fill & Clean-Fill ESL ,OMVE offers the widest range of filling benches for laboratories and pilot plants within the food industry. Different packaging can be filled and closed within the hygienic environment. Two types of hygienic fillers: 1. FS210: The Clean-Fill Basic is a filler in stainless steel with a filling point. A foot pedal for filling the containers is controlled by an automatic hygienic valve. A hygienic closed loop during cleaning is standard. 2. FS211: The Clean-Fill ESL (Extended Shelf Life) regroups all features of the Clean-Fill Basic but also includes a temperature sensor at the coldest spot as well as a touch screen to display this temperature during sterilization. The condensate cooler ensures controllable cooling of the pressurized water or steam during sterilization Unique Features F FS210 FS211 illing Sterile Down flow filling bench Adjustable front window Minimum height of the unit, no need for dissembling S Complete Stainless Steel system ystems Integrated in cleaning loop Aseptic control valves Larger versions (‘’Extended’’) available Different closing devices can be installed Integrated in sterilization loop TFT touch screen guidance during sterilization Working principle FS The OMVE Clean-Fill creates a class 100 working environment ensuring protection for (non-hazardous) products.

  • Investigation of Corrosion in Canned Tomatoes Processed by Retorting
    Investigation of Corrosion in Canned Tomatoes Processed by Retorting THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elliot Dhuey Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2019 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Melvin Pascall, Advisor Dr. Gerald Frankel Dr. John Litchfield Copyrighted by Elliot Dhuey 2019 Abstract This study investigated the presence of volatile and non-volatile compounds in canned processed tomatoes and how these compounds interacted with the Bisphenol A free epoxy-based lining of the cans to cause corrosion of the base metal and the migration of iron and tin compounds to the tomatoes. The tomatoes tested in this study were the Roma variety. They were sorted, washed, diced, and sealed in two-piece tinplated metal cans. These were processed by retorting at 250°F for 30 minutes then stored at 49°C for up to 50 days. Control samples were packaged and processed in glass jars. The presence and concentrations of the volatile and non-volatile compounds in the processed and unprocessed tomatoes were tested using Selected Ion Flow Tube – Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) and Ion Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (IC-MS) respectively. After removing the processed tomatoes from the cans, the linings were removed and analyzed for the volatile and non-volatiles as was mentioned before. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) paired with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) was used to confirm the presence of visual corrosion in the processed cans and to analyze its elemental composition.

  • 5 Metal Cans Bev Page, Mike Edwards and Nick May
    5 Metal cans Bev Page, Mike Edwards and Nick May 5.1 Overview of market for metal cans The total world market for metal containers is estimated at 410 billion units per annum. Of this, drink cans account for 320 billion and processed food cans account for 75 billion. The remainder are aerosol and general line cans. Drink cans may be divided into those for non-carbonated drinks (liquid coffee, tea, sports drinks etc.) and carbonated beverages (soft drinks and beer), many of which pass through a pasteurisation process. 5.2 Container performance requirements Metal packages for food products must perform the following basic functions if the contents are to be delivered to the ultimate consumer in a safe and whole- some manner: • preserve and protect the product • resist chemical actions of product • withstand the handling and processing conditions • withstand the external environment conditions • have the correct dimensions and the ability to be practically interchange- able with similar products from other supply sources (when necessary) • have the required shelf display properties at the point of sale • give easy opening and simple/safe product removal • be constructed from recyclable raw materials. In addition, these functions must continue to be performed satisfactorily until well after the end of the stated shelf life period. Most filled food and drink containers for ambient shelf storage are subjected to some form of heat process to prolong the shelf life of the product. For food cans, this will normally pro- vide a shelf life of up to 2–3 years or more. The heat process cycles used to achieve this are particularly severe and the containers must be specifically designed to withstand these conditions of temperature and pressure cycles in a steam/water atmosphere.

  • Food Processing Technology: Principles and Practice, Second
    25 Filling and sealing of containers There have been significant developments in packaging systems during the last ten years, prompted by a number of considerations, for example: • marketing requirements for different, more attractive packs • reductions in pack weight to reduce costs and meet environmental concerns over energy and material consumption (Chapter 24) • new packaging requirements for minimally processed foods (Chapters 9, 18, 19) and modified atmosphere packaging (Chapter 20) • the need for new types of tamper-resistant and tamper evident packs. Packaging methods that have been developed to meet these requirements are described in subsequent sections. Accurate filling of containers is important to ensure compliance with fill-weight legislation and to prevent ‘give-away’ by overfilling. The composition of some foods (for example meat products such as pies and canned mixed vegetables) is also subject to legislation in some countries, and accurate filling of multiple ingredients is therefore necessary. The maintenance of food quality for the required shelf life depends largely on adequate sealing of containers. Seals are the weakest part of a container and also suffer more frequent faults during production, such as food trapped in a seal, incorrect sealing temperatures or can seamer settings. In this chapter the techniques used to fill and seal rigid and flexible containers are described. By themselves these operations have no effect on the quality or shelf life of foods, but incorrect filling or sealing has a substantial effect on foods during subsequent storage. 25.1 Rigid and semi-rigid containers ‘Commercially clean’ metal and glass containers are supplied as palletised batches, which are wrapped in shrink or stretch film (Section 25.1.3) to prevent contamination.

  • Cannular Can Seamer Boksemaskin
    Cannular Can Seamer boksemaskin Her kommer en forklaring på hvordan du justerer din Cannular Can Seamer Boksemaskin. NB! Vi anbefaler andre mål enn det Kegland gjør, da vi har hatt stor suksess med å bruke målene som er oppgitt her, ved justering. Du finner målene KegLand anbefaler lenger ned. Men som sagt, vi anbefaler disse målene. Målene vi har brukt ved justering er: Valse 1 (Den til venstre) Vertikalt: Bare så vidt det er mellomrom over chuck Ca 0,1 mm Horisontalt: 0,7 mm fra chuck Valse 2 (Den til høyre) Vertikalt 1,2mm-1,3mm over chuck Horisontalt 0,1mm Vi anbefaler å bruke en bladsøker når du skal justere din Cannular Can Seamer! Man bør ta en sjekk på at målene fortsatt stemmer ca 1 gang i året, eller etter ca 50.000 bokser. En guide for å justere din Cannular Can Seamer Introduction. This information provided will also be a useful guide to double seam practice for both line engineers and production operators. The principle objective of this guide is to assist personnel whose decisions determine the quality of the beverage double seam and whose judgment dictate whether double seam has integrity issues. The Cannular bench top seamer has brought seaming technology to a range of new small businesses and home brewers. Often small businesses like this are not able to justify bringing an independent engineer in to tweak or maintain the machine. This guide has been made so small business owners and home brewers can adequately equip themselves on how to maintain and setup the machine to get acceptable levels of productivity.
