ABSTRACT:
A method for vacuum-packaging a powdered material comprises providing a first gas-impermeable sheet, a second gas-impermeable sheet, and a gas-permeable sheet, the three sheets being substantially rectangular in shape and the gas-permeable sheet having smaller dimensions than the gas-impermeable sheets, the gas-permeable sheet being impermeable to the powdered material. The gas-permeable sheet is positioned on the first gas-impermeable sheet such that the latter peripherally overlaps the former; and one edge of the gas-permeable sheet is sealed to the corresponding edge of the gas-impermeable sheet. The second gas-impermeable sheet is positioned on the opposite side of the gas-permeable sheet such that the former similarly peripherally overlaps the latter. The three sheets are sealed together along their opposed edges respectively perpendicular to the first sealed edge. The powdered material is introduced at atmospheric pressure into the resulting space between the gas-permeable sheet and the first gas-impermeable sheet; and the three sheets are sealed together along their corresponding edges opposite the first sealed edge. A vacuum is applied to the opposite side of the gas-permeable sheet to extract therethrough gas from the powdered material. The remaining edge of the second gas-impermeable sheet is sealed to the corresponding edges of the other two sheets while such vacuum continues to be applied to the gas-permeable sheet.
