Disclosed are a method and a device for sterilizing a product that is packaged
in a packaging material. The package (1) comprising the product and the
packaging material is subjected to thermal treatment at a defined temperature
for a given period of time. The following steps are carried out in order to
protect packages (1) which would generally not resist the conditions
prevailing in an autoclave: - at least one package (1) is introduced into a
protective covering (2 ); - the space between the protecting covering (2 ) and
the package (1) is evacuated; - the protective covering (2) is sealed; and -
the protective covering (2 ) and the package (1) are autoclaved in an
autoclave. The corresponding inventive device comprises a repackaging unit, an
evacuating unit, an autoclaving unit, and an optional unpacking unit, each of
which tops the filling machine.
L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour stériliser un produit conditionné dans un emballage, le paquet (1) constitué par le produit et l'emballage étant soumis à un traitement thermique à une température donnée pendant une durée déterminée. L'invention vise à protéger les paquets (1) qui, normalement ne résisteraient pas aux conditions régnant dans un autoclave. A cet effet, le procédé de l'invention comprend les opérations suivantes: - mettre au moins un paquet (1) dans une enveloppe de protection (2'), - faire le vide dans l'espace entre l'enveloppe de protection (2') et le paquet (1), - fermer l'enveloppe de protection (2') et passer l'enveloppe de protection (2') et le paquet (1) à l'autoclave. La présente invention porte également sur un dispositif correspondant qui comprend, en aval de la machine de remplissage, une unité de remballage, une unité de production du vide, une unité autoclave et éventuellement une unité de déballage.
