  • Patent number: 11986107
    Abstract: A cell (1) for storing a set (2) of products (20) includes ventilation means (4) for creating a rear-to-front air flow (A) circulating in the housing (14) and at least one first sealing device (5 or 6) having a first flexible sealing element (50 or 60) that is inflatable in relation to one of the walls (10, 11, 12) of the cell and towards the inside of the housing (14) under the effect of an air pressure which is generated in the housing (14) by said air flow. The first sealing device (5 or 6) has at least one second sealing element (52 or 62) that can be actuated between an inactive configuration and an active configuration in which it exerts a mechanical pressure on part of the first flexible sealing element (50 or 60).

  • Publication number: 20220341645
    Abstract: The storage cell includes ventilation means suitable for creating a rear-to-front air flow or a front-to-rear air flow, an inflatable sealing device, and inflation means which allow the inflatable sealing device to be inflated. The inflatable sealing device includes an upper inflatable sealing element and at least one side inflatable sealing element which directly or indirectly allow, in the inflated state, a seal between the upper wall of the cell and at least one part of the top face of a set of products positioned in the cell and a seal between at least one side wall of the cell and at least one part of one of the side faces of this set of products. The upper inflatable sealing element and the side inflatable sealing element delimit a single inflatable chamber, and the inflation means allow the upper inflatable sealing element and the side inflatable sealing element to be inflated by blowing air into this single inflatable chamber.

  • Patent number: 8459180
    Abstract: The invention concerns an installation for the temperature treatment of products placed on pallets or similar, including at least one chamber, means for the introduction of a pallet, means for conveyance of the pallet between an entrance and an exit, and means for blowing air through the products on a pallet. It is characterized in that the installation also includes raisable, longitudinal separation means, placed substantially on the main axis of the said at least one chamber, which are used to prevent the passage of air between the top surface of each pallet present in the chamber and the ceiling of the said at least one chamber.
