Abstract
System for protecting and securing bags for bulk high pressure processing equipment including at least one tube provided with holes, covers for evacuating and connecting the ends of the tube or tubes, the tube or tubes being anchored to the covers, a protector for the bag adapted to lengthen the outlet path of the processed product once the depressurization of the equipment is produced, and a fitting for the protector for connecting the protector to the cover on the side from which the product in the bag comes out.
Claims16
A system for protecting and securing bags for bulk high pressure processing equipment, the system comprising:
- one or more tubes provided with holes;
- covers for evacuating pressurization fluid and connecting ends of the one or more tubes, the one or more tubes being anchored to said covers;
- a bag protector that protects a bag that lengthens an outlet path of a processed product once depressurization of the pressure processing equipment is produced, said bag protector having a cylinder shape with holes or a spiral, mesh, or strap;
- and
- a fitting for the bag protector for connecting the bag protector to the cover on a side of the system from which the processed product in the bag comes out.
A unit of high-pressure processing equipment comprising:
- a processing vessel;
- a bag;
- and
- a system for protecting and securing the bag, the system including
- one or more tubes provided with holes;
- covers for evacuating pressurization fluid and connecting ends of the one or more tubes, the one or more tubes being anchored to said covers;
- a bag protector that protects the bag that lengthens an outlet path of a processed product once depressurization of the pressure processing equipment is produced, said bag protector having a cylinder shape with holes or a spiral, mesh, or strap;
- and
- a fitting for the bag protector that connects the bag protector to the cover on a side of the system from which the processed product in the bag comes out.
A method of high-pressure treatment by pressure processing equipment, the method comprising:
- providing a unit of high-pressure processing equipment that includes
- a processing vessel,
- a bag, and
- a system for protecting and securing the bag, the system for protecting and securing the bag including
- one or more tubes provided with holes,
- covers for evacuating pressurization fluid and connecting ends of the one or more tubes, the one or more tubes being anchored to said covers,
- a bag protector that protects the bag that lengthens an outlet path of a processed product once depressurization of the pressure processing equipment is produced, said bag protector having a cylinder shape with holes or a spiral, mesh, or strap, and
- a fitting for the bag protector that connects the bag protector to the cover on a side of the system from which the processed product in the bag comes out;
- and
- introducing an amount of pressurization fluid into the vessel that is less than the amount of fluid needed to maintain a pressure of a recipe.
