Abstract (en)

Apparatus (10) for odorising a packaging (CON), such as for example a food-preserving tray, wherein a product (PR), more particularly a food product, is packaged to be later consumed, wherein the apparatus (10) is suitable for producing and dispensing an odorising/aromatising substance (G1+G2+L, OD) in gaseous form in the packaging (CON) containing the product (PR), before the packaging is hermetically sealed and sent for consumption, and is characterised in that it comprises only mechanical parts and pneumatic devices (20, 30, 40) for producing, controlling and dispensing the odorising/aromatising substance (OD) in the packaging (CON) to be odorised, and therefore does not comprise electric and/or electronic devices which could be the source of risks for safety in the environment wherein this odorising apparatus (10) is installed. In addition to the advantage of not having electrical connections with the exterior and parts so as not to create safety problems, the odorising apparatus (10) of the invention also has that of having reduced dimensions and bulk so as to allow for example a wall attachment thereof and easy and problem-free integration in a packaging line.
