The patent US12064926B2 describes a packaging device designed for the efficient manufacturing of foodstuff packaging. The device features a trough-shaped lower packaging part and a top film, which are sealed together along their edges using a specialized sealing tool. This sealing tool incorporates a vapor supply line and a discharge line, allowing vapor to be introduced under pressure at a designated inlet point before sealing. Additionally, the device is equipped with a suction line that creates negative pressure between the sealing tool and the top film, enhancing vapor flow between the film and the foodstuff surface. An extraction line connects the space between the sealing tool and the lower packaging part to the surrounding atmosphere, facilitating the release of vapor.

Further claims detail the integration of a vapor source connected to the vapor supply line, which may include a switching valve for controlling vapor flow. The design also includes edge strip perforations that serve as vapor entry and outlet points, strategically positioned to optimize the sealing process. The discharge line operates separately from the vapor supply line, and the device may incorporate a Venturi nozzle to enhance negative pressure effects. The packaging device is adaptable for multiple packaging configurations, allowing for efficient production through deep-drawing techniques for the lower packaging part. Overall, the invention aims to improve the sealing and preservation of food products through innovative vapor management and pressure techniques.
