Abstract
A method of filling drums with cooked sterile pieces of solid food products in a packing liquid includes depositing a predetermined quantity of the pieces of solid food product by gravity flow into a sterilized drum substantially without packing liquid, then engaging the drum in a pressure-tight manner with the liquid filling head introducing pressurized steam through that filling head and maintaining steam pressure within the drum and the liquid filling head while introducing a packing liquid into the drum, then applying an air tight seal to the drum head and subsequently releasing the steam pressure from the liquid filling head and removing the liquid filling head.
