摘要: The present invention relates to a vacuum chamber assembly for use in evacuating air out of a package during a vacuumization and sealing process performed by a rotary vacuumization and sealing system, the vacuum chamber comprising:
a vacuum chamber portion defining a chamber interior having an open lower end, wherein the vacuum chamber portion is configured to selectably mate with a platen supporting a package thereon to form an air-tight enclosure around the package; and
a support arm configured to operably move the vacuum chamber portion between a lowered position in which the vacuum chamber portion is mated with the platen and a raised position, wherein the support arm defines a vacuum conduit extending therethrough, wherein the vacuum conduit is in fluid communication with the chamber interior through a vacuum port extending through the chamber portion.-

摘要: A rotary vacuum valve for distributing vacuum pressure to one or more air-tight enclosures of a rotary vacuumization system, wherein the rotary valve comprises:
a stationary portion defining an entry port in fluid communication with a vacuum system and a diagnostic port in fluid communication with a diagnostic system; and
a rotating portion defining a plurality of chamber ports each in fluid communication with a corresponding vacuum chamber via a vacuum conduit, wherein each vacuum chamber is configured to form an air-tight enclosure;
wherein the rotating portion is configured to rotate relative to the stationary portion and thereby selectably align each of the plurality of chamber ports with the one or more entry ports of the stationary portion to place the corresponding vacuum chamber in fluid communication with the vacuum system and to selectably align each of the plurality of chamber ports with the diagnostic port to place the corresponding vacuum chamber in fluid communication with the diagnostic system.-

摘要: An apparatus (10) for vacuumizing and sealing a package (322) includes a plurality of platens (12) and vacuum chambers (14), each chamber (14) adapted to mate with a dedicated one of the platens (12); a conveying system (16) for conveying the platens (12) and chambers (14) along a generally angular path having a single axis of rotation (18); an automated loading assembly (20) having a linear component (22c) and configured to load a package (322) onto each of the platens (12); an automated unloading assembly (26) having a linear portion and configured to unload a vacuumized, sealed package (322) from each loaded platen (12) onto an outfeed conveyor (30); and a vacuumizing/sealing system configured to cause relative movement of each chamber (14)/platen (12) pair, along a portion of the angular path, to form therebetween an air-tight enclosure accommodating the package (322) and effect vacuumization and sealing of the package (322).
