Definitions

  • the invention relates to an open flexible packaging for making a drink, in the form of a capsule suitable for pressurized fluid extraction machines.
  • capsules for the preparation of a drink from a pulverulent substance is motivated by several reasons: hygiene, optimal conservation of coffee, ease of use, better control of the quality of the coffee obtained and good reproducibility of the extraction conditions.
  • These capsules can be in open form, with the upper and lower surfaces permeable in order to allow the extraction fluid to pass.
  • the open capsules In order to maintain the quality of the coffee by protecting it against humidity and oxygen, the open capsules must be overwrapped in airtight sachets or have watertight peelable lids on both sides.
  • the capsules should be able to be manufactured on the same packaging machines and to be extracted on the same extraction machines.
  • Filter paper capsules containing compacted ground coffee are described for example in patent CH 527,592 or patent application EP-A-0272.432.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce an open capsule, of frustoconical or inverted frustoconical arrangement made up of flexible materials, which keeps a shape in particular during the extraction, so that the extraction takes place correctly by passing the extraction fluid without preferential paths through the bed of pulverulent substance and which can be extracted in conventional espresso machines in a sealed manner without an adaptation device.
  • the packaging according to the invention consists of a body in the form of a frustoconical or inverted frustoconical cavity provided with a rim, containing a pulverulent substance for the preparation of a drink closed by a membrane.
  • the body is deformable or extensible to adapt exactly to the different extraction devices, that the body and the membrane are made of flexible, permeable plastic material or that the bottom of the body and the central part of the membrane are perforated or the membrane is made of filter paper.
  • the side wall of the body of the capsule extends beyond the cavity containing the substance. Being flexible, the body is deformable longitudinally and laterally, which allows the adaptation of the capsule to the filter holder during extraction.
  • the capsule has a wide rim, so that the extraction takes place in a sealed manner, the rim acting as a seal between the machine and the filter holder.
  • the annular wall of the body has in its part close to the large base of the truncated cone a bellows which allows the extension of the cavity as well as the sealing of the extraction.
  • the extraction can be carried out without modification of the parts of the extraction device, that is to say that it does not require an adapter.
  • the packaging according to the invention can also be extracted with the device comprising a grid which is the subject of European patent application No. 91107462 of the applicant.
  • the packaging can also be extracted in a conventional espresso-type coffee machine using a specific adapter as described in the European patent applications filed on the same day as the present application by the applicant under the titles "Cartridge extraction device adaptable to any espresso machine ",” Device for extracting cartridges "and” Device for extracting cartridges ".
  • the invention further relates to a method for manufacturing the packaging, characterized in that the body of the capsule having a rim is thermoformed in a first film, the cavity thus formed is filled with a pulverulent composition for beverage and the composition is packed in the cavity under a stream of inert gas, the membrane formed from a second film is sealed on the body of the capsule, the bottom of the body and if necessary the membrane are perforated and then the capsule is cut .
  • the body has a concave bellows 5 on its annular wall.
  • the bellows 6 is convex.
  • the peripheral part 7 of the membrane is welded to the rim 3 of the body and is in the form of a washer after cutting, while its central part 8 is welded to the internal rim of the bellows 5.
  • the precut membrane 2 is welded to the top of the bellows 6.
  • the membrane 2 can be cut after its welding beyond the bellows 6.
  • the capsules have perforations 9 in the bottom of the body and 10 in the central part of the membrane.
  • the body 1 is formed at 11 by thermoforming.
  • we dose and cup ground coffee 13 then we weld the thermoformed membrane 2 on the rim 3 of the body.
  • the metering, tamping and welding operations of the membrane are carried out under nitrogen.
  • the bottom of the body and the membrane are pierced with hot needles on their central part (9, 10).
  • the process illustrated applies to the manufacture of the capsule of FIG. 1.
  • the body 1 is thermoformed at the same time as an annular groove 14.
  • the central cavity is then filled with ground coffee and it is packed.
  • the bottom of the cavity is then perforated, then a membrane 2 (perforated or permeable) is welded along the zones of crown welding 15 and 16.
  • the capsule is then cut along the cutting lines 17 and 18. It can be seen that has thus created an annular bellows 5 which allows the extension of the capsule and its adaptation to the various extraction filter holders, at the same time as a washer 17 has been produced at the large base of the truncated cone of the body allowing maintain the general shape of the capsule while ensuring sufficient flexibility. Furthermore, the sealing of the extraction is thus ensured. This process applies to the manufacture of the capsule of FIG. 2.
  • the process illustrated in Figure 6 differs from that of Figure 5 in that the bellows formed is convex. Furthermore, the membrane 2 is precut, then welded to the filled cavity at the top 19 of the bellows. Alternatively, the membrane can be welded and then cut beyond the bellows. Finally, the capsule is cut out according to 20. It would be possible, according to a variant not shown of this process, to operate in the same way by welding the precut membrane on the internal rim of a concave bellows or else by welding the membrane on the internal rim of the bellows, then by cutting it beyond the bellows.
  • the thin and flexible walls of the body and of the membrane may be made of thermoformable plastic material such as polyethylene, polyamide, polypropylene or a polyester, for example polyethylene terephthalate, for example from 20 to 150 ⁇ m in single layer thickness or multi-layer or in cellulose-based material such as a paper complex for example of grammage 12 to 25 g / m2 and plastic material as described above, for example from 10 to 50 ⁇ m thick.
  • the body and the membrane are perforated in their central part.
  • the openings may be gaping or may appear to close. In the latter case, the capsule will be extracted with a specific filter holder fitted with fins on the flow grid, the purpose of which is to enlarge the slots under the effect of the pressure.
  • the body and the membrane can also be made of a complex of woven or non-woven polyester or polypropylene, for example of grammage 15 to 40 g / m2.
  • the membrane can also be made of filter paper of grammage 15 to 40 g / m2 in the case of the versions of FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the capsule according to the invention can be of variable size according to the volume of drink that one wishes to prepare.
  • the dose of coffee contained can vary between 5 and 20 g
  • the diameter of the capsule is between 2.5 and 8 cm
  • the thickness of the coffee bed between 10 and 25 mm.
  • the capsule is filled with a pulverulent composition for the preparation of a drink.
  • This substance is preferably roasted and ground coffee, but can also be tea, soluble coffee, a mixture of ground coffee and soluble coffee or a chocolate product.
  • the extraction fluid will be directed in a vertical flow so as to pass through the entire bed of powdery composition without risk of creating lateral flow flow.
  • the capsule according to the invention will be individually overwrapped with a thin material constituting an oxygen and moisture-tight barrier, for example a copolymer of vinyl alcohol and ethylene, if necessary loaded silica or metallized, polyvinylidene chloride or a multilayer of aluminum, paper and plastic.
  • a thin material constituting an oxygen and moisture-tight barrier, for example a copolymer of vinyl alcohol and ethylene, if necessary loaded silica or metallized, polyvinylidene chloride or a multilayer of aluminum, paper and plastic.
