INDUCTION HEATING SYSTEMS, DEVICES, CONTAINERS, AND METHODS

摘要

Controlled heating of foodstuffs contained in metal containers is achieved via induction heating of the metal containers. The metal containers can be heated in a continuous manner by conveying past inductive heating panels. The metal containers include structure for improving heat transfer from the walls of the metal container to the foodstuffs and also to promote mixing of the foodstuffs. Filter complements our combined with the metal container in order to permit out-gassing and to permit access to the interior of the container by sensor probes. The metal containers can be heated in an induction heating device that includes a receptacle for securing the metal containers. Use of an induction heating device and metal containers allows for delivery of foodstuffs that have been freshly heated to the customer's specifications.
