초록 ▼

The invention encompasses packaging and cooling methods and systems designed to improve cooling efficiencies, reduce damage to the contents of containers, and increase product packing density. A system of the present invention incorporates baskets loaded into trays and trays loaded in preferred configurations on a pallet. The trays are loaded with baskets arranged in the tray so that ventilation slots and/or channels of the baskets are aligned with tray ventilation openings. Nine (9) trays are loaded onto a standard pallet in a 3 by 3 configuration. Additionally, the trays are arranged so that the tray ventilation openings are in alignment with ventilation openings of other trays of the same layer. This 3 by 3 layer of trays comprises a so-called “nine-down” configuration. As will be discussed below, his configuration has some surprising cooling advantageous standard packaging configurations.

1. A produce packaging system configured to enhance cooling, the arrangement comprising: a plurality of produce packaging containers, each container having a lid and a body, the lid and body configured so that when the lid is closed it defines at least a first and a second horizontal ventilation slot respectively on opposing ends of the basket, each slot disposed between the lid and body, anda lower surface of the body defining a ventilation channel configured to enable a ventilating flow to pass underneath the container; anda plurality of trays for receiving said plurality of said baskets, the tray including at least two rows of tray ventilation features comprising at least a first row of ventilation features arranged above a second row of ventilation features;the plurality of produce packaging containers arranged in each tray in two layers, the horizontal ventilation slots of the second row containers being arranged in registry with the second row of ventilation features of the tray, thereby facilitating the flow of air through the containers of the second row of containers, andthe horizontal ventilation slots of the first row containers being arranged in registry with the first row of ventilation features of the tray, thereby facilitating the flow of air through the containers of the second row of containers. 2. The produce packaging system of claim 1 wherein the bottom of the body is arched thereby providing said ventilation channel under each container when it is positioned in the tray, the ventilation features of the tray further comprising rows of channel ventilation openings arranged in registry with the ventilation channels thereby facilitating a cooling flow in through one such opening in a first side of the tray, under said container, and out of another opening arranged in an opposite second side of the tray. 3. The produce packaging system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of said trays are arranged on a pallet in a three by three layer of nine trays disposed on the pallet so that ventilation features of the cooling trays are in alignment with ventilation features of at least one other cooling tray of the layer. 4. The produce packaging system of claim 3 wherein the layer of nine trays covers a forty by forty-eight in shipping pallet. 5. The produce packaging system of claim 3 wherein the ventilation features have a feature width of about the same width as the ventilation slots of the containers. 6. The produce packaging system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of produce packaging containers are arranged in the plurality of trays so that ventilation slots of the containers are in alignment with the ventilation slots of other containers and with the ventilation features of the trays thereby enabling airflow to pass into the tray through the ventilation features and through each of the containers by passing through the aligned ventilation slots of adjacent containers and out of the tray through a ventilation opening at an opposite end of the tray. 7. The produce packaging system of claim 6 wherein the bottoms of each container body is arched thereby providing said ventilation channel under each container when it is positioned in the tray, the ventilation features of the tray further comprising rows of channel ventilation openings arranged in registry with the ventilation channels thereby facilitating a cooling flow in through one such opening in a first side of the tray, under an associated container, and out of another opening arranged in an opposite second side of the tray. 8. The produce packaging system of claim 1 wherein at least some of the horizontal ventilation slots of the first and second rows containers are located adjacent to respective first and second ventilation features of the tray. 9. A produce packaging system configured to enhance cooling, the arrangement comprising: a basket comprising a basket body and a lid, the lid and body configured so that when the lid is closed it defines at least two horizontal ventilation slots on opposing ends of the basket, each slot disposed between the lid and body, anda lower surface of the basket body defining a ventilation channel; anda tray for receiving a plurality of said baskets, the tray including a first set of ventilation openings formed in the tray in alignment with the ventilation channel when a basket is loaded into the tray to facilitate through at least one ventilation channel and out of the tray through another first ventilation opening on an opposite end of the tray the flow of air, anda second set of ventilation openings formed in the tray in alignment with the basket ventilation slot when a basket is loaded into the tray to facilitate the flow of air into the tray through one first ventilation opening into the basket through the basket ventilation slot enabling the flow to pass through and exit the basket through another ventilation slot at an opposite end of the basket,wherein the plurality of said trays are arranged on a pallet in a three by three layer of nine trays disposed on the pallet so that ventilation openings of the cooling trays are in alignment with ventilation openings of at least one other cooling tray of the layer, andwherein the second set of ventilation openings of the tray has a width of about the same width as the basket ventilation slot.
