  • Flexible packages with clog resistant degassing valve and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 10486881
    Abstract: A flexible package with a one-way, pressure-equalizing or degassing valve and method of making the same is provided. The package includes a tortuous path preventing particulate materials, e.g., fine powders, from clogging or interfering with opening and closing of said valve. The package includes a heat seal including discontinuities or gaps which defines a tortuous path between the valve and the compartment within the package in which the particulate material is located, allowing air and internal gases trapped in the package to escape through the valve while preventing fine powders, dust and particulate from reaching the valve body by trapping or collecting them in the tortuous path.
