Device and method for packaging a liquid food product

摘要

The device has an injection unit for injecting a food fluid into a recess in a heated polyethylene terephthalate preform (110) so as to promote expansion of the preform inside a mold, where the mold defines the shape of a thermoplastic container. The injection unit comprises an injection head to inject the fluid through a mouth of the recess, where the injection head is integrated into the mold. The mouth defines a neck (111) of the container, and a fixation unit fixes a closure on the neck. An independent claim is also included for a method for industrial packaging of a food fluid into a thermoplastic container.
