Systems and methods for oxygen free packaging

A method for packaging products in a substantially oxygen free environment, the method comprising:

• providing a containment environment including a main chamber formed by main chamber walls, an exhaust portion for removing ambient air from the main chamber, an intake portion for introducing inert gas into the main chamber, and a selectively sealable access point for providing access into and out of the main chamber;
• providing a bulk product dispenser and one or more individual bottles into the main chamber;
• sealing the main chamber at least by closing the sealable access point;
• purging ambient air from the main chamber through the exhaust portion;
• introducing inert gas into the main chamber through the intake portion;
• transferring a product from the bulk product dispenser to each of the one or more individual bottles;
• and
• sealing each of the individual bottles.

A containment apparatus for performing substantially oxygen free packaging, the containment apparatus comprising:

• a hood including an inert gas source and a product source, the hood including a bottom surface;
• one or more chamber walls connected to the bottom surface of the hood;
• a conveyor surface configured to selectively engage the one or more chamber walls so as to form a containment environment between the bottom surface of the hood, the one or more chamber walls, and the conveyor surface;
• a purging valve disposed in the one or more chamber walls, the purging valve in fluid communication with the containment environment and configured to permit a target gas to pass out of the containment environment;
• and
• one or more dual nozzles disposed in the containment environment and configured to dispense an inert gas into the containment environment from the inert gas source and a product into the containment environment from the product source;
• wherein the conveyor surface is configured to position one or more bottles in the containment environment so as to receive the product from the one or more dual nozzles, and
• wherein the one or more dual nozzles is configured to dispense the inert gas into the one or more bottles while dispensing the product.
