  • Publication number: 20100108746
    Abstract: Package comprising a substantially cylindrical part (5), which has a bottom (3) at one end and at the other end is formed in one part with an essentially truncated cone-shaped, tapering part (6), which in the narrowest end has a closable spout (4), said cylindrical and tapering part (5,6) are formed by folding a mainly rectangular, sheet-shaped body (7) made of laminate with a plastic coating and welded together by overlapping end parts, whereby the tapering part (6) is achieved by forming and folding a number of overlapping folds, where each fold in circumferential direction has an area expanding in direction of the narrowest end. The rectangular, sheet-shaped body includes inclined cut corners (15, 16) at the end, which forms the narrowest end after folding, said corners being cut so that the tapering part (6) includes three folded layers as a maximum.

  • Patent number: 5925392
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of producing and pre-distribution preparing unfrozen, expanded ice cream mix with superior storage and shelf-life properties. Starting ingredients necessary for producing the ice cream mix are mixed together, whereafter the mix is heat-treated or otherwise treated so as to exterminate micro-organisms, in particular pathogenic bacteria, present in the mix. The thus treated mix is expanded and subsequently packed in packages ready for distribution. Ice cream mix produced according to this method has extended shelf-life and can be stored in the unfrozen state for long periods of time with retained pristine freshness qualities, without any requirement of cold storage at extremely low storage temperatures.

  • Patent number: 5635228
    Abstract: Method of preparing cheese for distribution through first concentrating milk through separation of the whey and then adding additives necessary for cheese production, e.g. rennet, and packaging in distribution-ready packagings. Through concentrating the milk to such an extent that it is given the same DM content as is desired in the finished cheese (what is known as full concentration) the milk and the added additives can be packaged in such a manner that both the coagulation of the milk and forming and maturing of the cheese essentially occur entirely in the packagings.

  • Patent number: 5188285
    Abstract: In an opening device for tetrahedral-shaped or parallel piped-shaped packaging containers, a strip of packaging material is provided with tear perforation lines substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip of material. The tear perforation lines intersecting a transverse seam on the packaging material are located relative to one another such that they converge at a point in a finished packaging container.
