  • Patent number: 4703609
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing pressurized, sealed containered food is disclosed, in which a predetermined quantity of low-temperature liquefied gas is charged through two or more low-temperature liquefied gas outlets into a succession of individual containers which have already a predetermined quantity of food including liquid content and are successively travelling upright with the top end open at a constant speed, and each container is subsequently sealed with a lid.

  • Patent number: 4497178
    Abstract: A method of preventing the atmosphere from entering a heat-insulating container adapted to temporarily reserve a low-temperature liquefied gas, wherein a dry gas is constantly supplied to the inside of the heat-insulating container when it is in an inoperative state, in order to maintain the inside of the heat-insulating container in a dry gas atmosphere having a pressure slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure. The dry gas is a vaporized gas of a low-temperature liquefied gas of the same kind as the low-temperature liquefied gas to be used. The dry gas is led out in the gas phase from a supply container for supplying the low-temperature liquefied gas to be used, or is a gas obtained by vaporizing a part of the low-temperature liquefied gas to be used, outside the supply container.
