Problems solved by technology

When little oxygen absorbing capacity is left in the absorbent and this absorbent is introduced into the packaging of the meat, the meat can oxidize prematurely and thus turn brown before it is displayed for sale at the retailer, This may lead to unsalable meat

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention relates to material handling devices, and more particularly to handling devices for articles having a ferromagnetic composition. The inventors have found that the present invention is particularly useful for handling sachets or bags containing metal powder, and more particularly iron powder. However, it will be appreciated that the present disclosure is not limited to handling such packets or bags. In those embodiments described below where a magnet is used to move an object, the object may take any form but should include some ferromagnetic content and thus be attracted to the magnet. Several of the embodiments described below can also be used to handle items that do not have ferromagnetic properties, and in fact some embodiments do not include magnets.

[0026] figure 1 One embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated. in particular, figure 1 A material handling device 10 is shown consisting generally of a body 12 . The body 12 includes oppos...

Abstract

A material handling apparatus for conveying an article having a ferromagnetic component includes a hopper, a discharge, and a magnet. The hopper has an inlet and outlet and defines a hopper volume for receiving a plurality of the articles to be conveyed. The discharge is spaced from and downstream of the hopper. The magnet is movable between an attracting position proximate the hopper and a discharge position proximate the discharge.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to material handling. More specifically, the present invention relates to a semi-automatic or automatic handling device for separating and conveying packages containing metallic-based oxygen absorbers. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates to material handling equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to handling packages of metal-based oxygen absorbers. [0003] Oxygen absorbers are used in many applications to remove oxygen from enclosed spaces. In one application, oxygen absorbers are used in meat packaging applications to inhibit degradation of meat due to exposure to oxygen. By removing substantially all oxygen from packages containing raw meat, the freshness of the meat is maintained for a longer period of time. As a result, meat can be shipped from processing plants to distant destinations without fear of spoilage during transit. [0004] In some applications in processin...
