US Patent:

20030156978, Aug 21, 2003

Filed:

Nov 26, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/306168

Inventors:

Thomas Gillette - Burley ID, US
James Gillette - Burley ID, US

International Classification:

A61L002/18

US Classification:

422/031000, 422/186070, 422/292000

Abstract:

The present invention features an ozone sanitation device and system and a method of using the same to sanitize various objects in various environments. The present invention is particularly adapted to be used to sanitize food products, such as fruit and vegetable products as well as others at the site of the marketing and selling of such products. The ozone sanitation device functions to combat harmful pathogens by reduce microbial growth and bacteria existing on the treated object. The device comprises an ozone generator that produces ozone gas that mixes with temperature controlled water to create an ozonated water solution to be applied to an object for treatment. Moreover, the present invention features several methods of using the ozone sanitation device to treat various objects, as well as a method for restoring water to dehydrated objects, such as fruits and vegetables. The method provides a continuous process and comprises using a tepid wash solution cycle and a chilled wash solution cycle of water and the application of ozone and oxygen.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for providing food intervention, pumping up, and tenderization are discussed. While such systems can include any suitable component, in some cases, they include a needleless spray nozzle head that injects injectate into food without requiring the head to contact the food. In some cases, the head comprises an elongated needleless spray bar that defines multiple internal fluid channels that extend from a first end to a second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the head comprises a manifold system with a first manifold portion at the first end and a second manifold portion at the second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the first manifold portion directs the injectate towards the second end, and the second manifold portion directs the injectate towards the first end of the elongated needleless spray bar. Other implementations are described.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for providing food intervention, pumping up, and tenderization are discussed. While such systems and methods can include any suitable component, in some cases, they include an injectate reservoir, a filter, a first pump configured to force injectate from the injectate reservoir and through the filter, a nozzle configured to inject injectate into a food product without having the nozzle contact the food, and a valve that is configured to selectively open and close to regulate when and how much of the injectate that passes through the filter is forced out of the nozzle. In some cases, the described systems further include a chiller configured to cool injectate in the reservoir, a sensor configured to determine a distance between the nozzle and food item, an actuator configured to move the nozzle, and/or a computer processor that controls an amount of injectate sprayed from the nozzle. Other implementations are described.
