  • Patent number: 6622462
    Abstract: The air remaining within a headspace of a can filled with a liquid such as a carbonated drink, juice drink, tea drink, coffee drink or the like is replaced with one of steam, a mixture of steam and carbonic acid gas, a mixture of steam and nitrogen gas, and a mixture of carbonic acid gas and nitrogen gas. Therefore, the quality of filled liquid can be maintained, and deterioration of the working environment can be prevented by avoiding the spraying of carbonic acid in all directions at the workshop.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 24, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 23, 2003
    Assignee: Showa Tansan Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Norimitsu Wakabayashi, Youichi Hayatsu
  • Patent number: 6588327
    Abstract: An energy and water saving pasteuriser capable of maintaining a stable temperature distribution pattern even when transfer work are interrupted during the operation, or a tunnel type refrigerator (10) allowing hot work such as bottles and cans filled with the products sterilized at a high temperature of generally 75° C. to allow temperature of generally 25° C., wherein plural cooling vessels (11a, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, 13a, 13b) are disposed in a row from the upstream side to the downstream side so as to form a first cooling region (11), an intermediate cooling region (12), and a final cooling region (13), an adsorption freezing machine (19) is installed between the first cooling region (11) and final cooling region (13), and a cooling tower (20) is installed in the intermediate cooling region (12).

  • Publication number: 20030014949
    Abstract: The air remaining within a headspace of a can filled with a liquid such as carbonated drink, juice drink, tea drink, coffee drink or the like is replaced with either of steam, a mixture of steam-carbonic acid gas, a mixture of steam-nitrogen gas, and a mixture of carbonic acid gas and steam-nitrogen gas. Therefore, the quality of filled liquid can be maintained, and to become worse of working environment can be prevented without flying carbonic acid gas in all directions at workshop.

  • Patent number: 6161557
    Abstract: The rinse washing of the present invention is completed in a short time by washing with a rinse washing liquid including a safe carbonic water or a carbonic acid gas after the manufacturing line is washed by an alkaline washing liquid when the manufacturing line is washed so that the present invention can reduce the water and energetic waste and can drive the manufacturing line efficiently.
