Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and capsule system for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in a receptacle by passing water through the substance using centrifugal forces.
- the cup quality can vary a lot.
- German patent application DE 102005007852 the machine comprises a removable holder into which an open cup-shaped part of the receptacle is placed; the other part or lid being attached to a driving axis of the machine.
- a disadvantage is the intensive manual handling.
- Another disadvantage is the difficulty to control quality of the coffee due to a lack of control for the dosing of the powder and a lack of control of the freshness of the coffee powder.
- EP0651963 relates to a centrifugal cell comprising an elastic joint placed at the junction between the drum and the lid of the cell.
- the elastic joint provides both filtering and control of an operating pressure in the cell, thereby improving coffee crema.
- the cell is not an airtight container and used coffee must be removed and new coffee must be refilled in the cell for each new brewing cycle.
- the pressure is difficult to control by such elastic means and the pressure cannot be easily varied depending on the type of beverage to be produced.
- BE894031 relates to a centrifugal brewing system comprising a filter capsule which is not sealed but is covered by filter paper.
- the invention relates to a liquid food preparation system for preparing a liquid food from a food substance comprising a preparation device and a capsule removably insertable in the device, by passing water through the substance in the capsule, comprising a water injection head in the capsule and a capsule holder for holding the capsule in the device, characterized in that it comprises: a water injector, as part of the water injection head, arranged for introducing water in the capsule, means for driving the capsule holder in centrifugation around an axis of rotation and, wherein the opening means are configured to create at least one liquid delivery outlet in the capsule at least partially in response to the centrifugal forces of liquid which exert in the capsule.
- the device comprises at least one opening means for providing at least one liquid delivery outlet in the capsule which is placed in a position relatively offset to said central axis of the capsule holder.
- the opening means are preferably at the surface of the injection head.
- said opening means comprises a series of piercing elements distributed along a substantially circular path about the central axis.
- the opening elements can form truncated pyramids, needles and/or blades.
- the water injecting head comprises a water injector and a rotary engaging member for engaging the capsule in closure onto the capsule holder.
- the rotary engaging member applies a pressing force onto a peripheral edge of the capsule which itself is supported by the capsule holder. Therefore, the engaging member and the capsule holder rotate together while maintaining firmly the capsule in place in the capsule holder during centrifugation.
- the water injector can be non-moving or moving with the rotary engaging member.
- the opening means of the liquid delivery outlet(s) are piercing members, which can be part of the rotary engaging member of the water injection head.
- the piercing members can be distributed at regular intervals along a substantially circular path therefore providing a homogeneous liquid delivery at the periphery of the capsule.
- the number of piercing members can be of from 10 to 200, most preferably, between 50 and 100.
- the piercing members can engage in the capsule and so also participate to transfer the rotational momentum to the capsule during rotation.
- the opening members are thus configured to provide the liquid delivery outlet(s) of the capsule when the internal pressure of the liquid against a peripheral wall of the capsule exceeds a threshold pressure as liquid is centrifuged in the capsule through the substance.
- the opening members can be elements which are distant or in contact with the capsule when the water injection head and capsule holder are closed about the capsule.
- the outlet(s) are created by deformation of the wall, e.g., a lid membrane, of the capsule against the opening members.
- This configuration enables to delay the release of the beverage from the capsule.
- the outlets are thus fully created when a threshold of operating pressure has been attained at the peripheral wall of the capsule.
- the interaction between the ingredients in the capsule and water can be prolonged.
- the release of the beverage through the outlet(s) can be successfully controlled.
- the peripheral wall of the capsule can be a portion of a perforable membrane.
- the peripheral wall can be a peripheral portion of a membrane which is transversal to the axis of rotation of the capsule in the capsule holder.
- the capsule has a sidewall which widens in direction of the peripheral portion of the perforable membrane. Therefore, the brewed liquid in the capsule is forced by the centrifuged forces to converge in the direction of the peripheral portion of the perforable membrane.
- the perforable membrane can be sealed on a flange-like rim of the cup-shaped body of the capsule.
- the piercing wall can be a portion of the sidewall of the cup-shaped body of the capsule.
- the capsule may comprise a perforable membrane made of an aluminium and/or a polymer material.
- the puncturable membrane can have a thickness between 5 and 150 microns, preferably 10 and 100 microns.
- the thickness of the membrane can be designed in such a way that opening can be predicted at a defined operating pressure and/or after a defined centrifugation time.
- the thickness of the membrane may vary according the substance in the capsule and/or the beverage to be delivered.
- a preweakening of the peripheral wall of the capsule can be created by the opening members being in contact with the wall, e.g., during relative engagement of the device on the capsule before the centrifugation operation.
- a preweakening of the wall can be a multitude of through- holes of smaller section than the final punctured outlets or can be a material weakening by reduction of the thickness of the wall.
- the peripheral wall of the capsule can be sufficiently elastic to deform and elongate without immediately breaking against the piercing members. Consequently, it provides a certain delay of the release of the beverage until a sufficient passage of the outlet is created for liquid to flow there through.
- the shape of the piercing members for the outlets is also important to properly control the piercing of the outlets in the capsule. Blunt piercing shapes will provide a longer resistance of the capsule to piercing and thus a longer delay of the release of the liquid beverage. On the contrary, sharper piercing shapes will provide a quicker delivery and therefore a shorter residence time of the liquid in the capsule.
- the residence time of liquid in the capsule also depends on the centrifugal speed since the higher the speed, the higher the pressure and potentially, the quicker the centrifuged liquid passes through the ingredients in the capsule and is so released out of the capsule.
- the water injector also comprises an opening means such as a piercing member.
- the opening means can be a piercing member arranged as a hollow piercing tube for injecting water in the capsule, preferably along the central axis of rotation of the capsule, so that the tube can be maintained in a static position. It can be noted that the piercing member could also be rotating with the engaging member of the injection head.
- the piercing member of the water injector has a diameter of less than 5 mm, preferably, between 0.9 and 2.9 mm. Indeed, the pressure in the capsule increases from the centre to the periphery. The pressure of water in the centre can be close to zero but gradually increases outwardly. Therefore, a small diameter of the injector provides a small inlet in the capsule to so maintain a relatively low liquid pressure at the inlet side of the capsule and consequently, reduce the overflow of liquid through the pierced inlet. Another advantage is also that a liquid sealing means might not be necessary around the inlet side and the capsule can vent properly as liquid replaces gas in the capsule.
- the driving means of the capsule holder can be directly connected to the capsule holder or indirectly connected to the capsule holder.
- a direct connection to the capsule holder can be obtained by a rotational drive assembly comprising a rotary motor and a drive transmission connecting the motor to the bottom of the capsule holder.
- the drive transmission may comprise a suitable gear reduction or amplification to provide the correct transmission rate to the capsule holder in function of the motor speed.
- An indirect connection to the capsule holder can be obtained by transmission of the rotational momentum from the water injection head to the capsule holder via the capsule and/or directly. In this case, the drive transmission of the rotational drive assembly is connected directly to the upper side of the water injection head, in particular to the rotary engaging member of the head.
- the device of the invention may receive capsules made of rigid, semi-rigid and/or soft materials.
- the capsule may be made of materials such as plastics, aluminium, cellulose-based materials or other biodegradable materials, and combinations therefore.
- the capsule has a closing pierceable wall, e.g., a thin membrane, which comprises at least an annular portion intended to be pierced which is peripheral relative to the axis of rotation of the capsule when the capsule is in position in the device.
- the wall can form a sealing membrane covering a cup-shaped body which receives the food substance to be brewed.
- the capsule can be formed of a body which is more rigid than the membrane to be pierced.
- the capsule is preferably closed in a gastight manner. Its internal volume which is not occupied by the substance can advantageously be filled with a protective gas (e.g., nitrogen).
- the capsule has layers of materials having gas barrier properties such as aluminium or EVOH layers.
- the system can comprise a valve means which is arranged downstream of the opening means of the at least one liquid delivery outlet.
- the valve enables to control the pressure inside the capsule by opening at a defined threshold of pressure of liquid which exerts on it.
- the valve means may comprise an annular closure ring and an elastic means for elastically engaging the ring in closure onto a peripheral part, e.g., an edge, of the capsule.
- the valve can be designed to provide an adjustable value of its closure load.
- a valve means can be useful to control the pressure in the capsule and hence the release of the centrifuged liquid from the capsule.
- valve means can also prevent the accumulation of small particles (e.g., coffee fines) at the outlets of the capsule and consequently avoid blockage or, at least, avoid a significant reduction of the flow. It is also noticed that the valve provides more crema or foam in the liquid. In particular, the higher the load of the valve, the more crema or foam is created.
- small particles e.g., coffee fines
- the invention also relates to a method for preparing a food liquid from a food substance contained in a single-use capsule by passing water through the substance comprising: driving the capsule in centrifugal rotation while introducing water in the capsule, passing water through the substance to form a food liquid, piercing at least one liquid delivery outlet in the capsule, wherein piercing is obtained, at least partially, by the effect of the centrifugal forces of liquid which exert in the capsule as a result of the centrifugation.
- the capsule can be a gas-tightly sealed capsule comprising ingredients such as ground coffee, instant coffee, leaf tea, instant tea, cocoa, chocolate, a creamer, sweetener, and any combinations thereof which can be preserved in protected atmosphere conditions for an extended period of time.
- the capsule is thus opened at the time of use in the device.
- At least one liquid delivery outlet is obtained by piercing at least a peripheral portion of the capsule.
- piercing of the capsule is carried out by outward deformation of the peripheral portion of the capsule against piercing elements.
- the piercing elements can be part of the device of the invention. More particularly, the peripheral portion is part of a sealing membrane of the capsule.
- the membrane can be formed of thin plastic and/or aluminium material.
- the at least one outlet opening is carried out at least partially, when the peripheral portion of the capsule deforms outwardly as a result of the internal pressure of the centrifuged liquid at the peripheral portion of the capsule.
- the at least one liquid delivery outlet can thus be obtained by piercing a peripheral portion of the membrane of the capsule. More preferably, several outlet openings are opened in a peripheral portion of the membrane of the capsule.
- the portion of the membrane can pierce against a series of puncture elements such as needles, pyramids and/or blades.
- the liquid can also be forced in direction of the peripheral portion by a sidewall of the capsule which widens in direction of the peripheral portion of the perforable membrane.
- the series of puncture elements are distributed along a substantially circular path to thus form a puncturing crown protruding at the periphery of the injection head.
- the puncturing crown is placed in such a manner that it engages a peripheral area of the perforable membrane. More particularly, the puncturing crown is part of the rotary engaging member of the head.
- the crown can be an integral part of the member, for example can be moulded in one single piece with the member.
- the capsule can be maintained during centrifugation by its peripheral edge being pinched by closure of the injection head and the capsule holder about the capsule.
- the piercing elements may come in contact with the sealing membrane or may be slightly distant from the sealing membrane.
- the contact with the sealing membrane may, for instance, create a preweakening, e.g., imprints or small perforations, of the sealing membrane.
- a pressure of liquid is exerted at the periphery of the inner surface of the sealing membrane which thus blows or deforms in the direction of the piercing elements and so pierces against the piercing elements, e.g., against the puncture crown.
- a preweakening of the perforable membrane can be avoided by the piercing element coming just in contact with the membrane or being maintained at controlled distance before the capsule is centrifuged in the device.
- the sealing membrane may be flexible or slightly rigid depending on the materials.
- the membrane may have a concave shape at its initial rest position and may deform to form a convex shape in response to the centrifugal pressure.
- the material may be, for instance, made of thermo formed or injected plastics.
- the membrane is thin and flexible to snugly deform against the piercing elements.
- water is introduced in the capsule through an opening of less than 5 mm, preferably between 0.9 and 2.9 mm.
- a sufficiently small water inlet is preferred in the capsule in order to reduce the internal pressure of liquid at the inlet side of the capsule and therefore avoid liquid leakage problems.
- water is introduced in the centre of the capsule after having pierced a water inlet in the centre of the capsule.
- the liquid delivered from the capsule opens a valve when a certain pressure of the released liquid is exerted on the valve by the centrifuged liquid.
- the valve also regulates the flow of liquid and it reduces the risk of blocking the small outlets provided in the capsule by small size particles, e.g., coffee fines, in particular, at relatively low pressure values.
- the valve can preferably be composed of at least a part of the device.
- the valve means can be formed by at least one engaging portion of the device which moves relatively to an engaging portion of the capsule or device under the effect of the pressurized liquid for making a thin annular laminating passage for the liquid.
- the laminating passage also enables to create a liquid jet of relatively high velocity that impacts on a wall of the device.
- a relatively high amount of foam can be created both due to the restriction that is created by the valve means and by the impact of the liquid on the impact surface of the device at a relatively high velocity during centrifugation.
- the restriction caused by the valve means can differ in amplitude.
- the valve means can be calibrated or adjusted to selectively open a liquid passage through the device at a threshold of pressure in the capsule.
- the system of the invention provides a solution for preparing a food liquid wherein a controlled release of the food liquid can be carried out.
- the release of liquid can be delayed until a certain pressure is exerted on a peripheral portion of the capsule which then pierces against external protruding elements of the device.
- a delayed opening of the capsule enables to improve the interaction between water and the substance contained in the capsule and a filtering of the liquid can also be obtained by the restrictions created between the piercing outlets and the piercing elements of the device.
- the capsule can be of a very simple construction and can be discarded after use, e.g., for destruction or recycling.
- the foam or coffee crema can be improved due to the pressure release and the shear stress created through the restrictions forming in a dynamic manner between the outlets of the capsule and the piercing elements during the centrifugal operation.
- the liquid delivered from the capsule can also be filtered by dedicated filtering means provided in the capsule.
- filtering means provided in the capsule.
- the invention also relates to the device itself as defined in the present application.
- food liquid has here a broad meaning and encompasses: a culinary liquid such as soup or sauce, a beverage liquid such as coffee extract (obtained from ground and/or instant coffee powder), liquid chocolate, milk (obtained from powder and/or liquid concentrate), tea extract (obtained from instant and/or leaf), etc., or a nutritional liquid such as an infant formula and combinations thereof.

- the device may further comprise control means and activation means for activating the beverage preparation method (not illustrated).
- Water can be fed in the module 24 at low pressure or even at gravity pressure. For example, a pressure of between 0 and 2 bar above atmospheric pressure can be envisaged at the water inlet of the module. Water at higher pressure than 2 bar could also be delivered if a pressure pump is utilized such as a piston pump.
- the brewing module 24 can comprise two main capsule encasing sub-assemblies 29,
- the two subassemblies form positioning and centring means for the capsule in the device.
- the two subassemblies' closes together to encase a capsule therein for example by a bayonet-type connection system 31.
- the liquid receiving subassembly 30 comprises a liquid duct 32, for example, protruding on a side of the subassembly for guiding the centrifuged liquid coming out of the capsule to a service receptacle such as a cup or glass.
- the liquid duct is in communication with a liquid receiver 33 forming a U- or
- the liquid receiver 33 defines a collecting cavity 63 for collecting the liquid as will be explained later in the description. Below the liquid receiving subassembly 30, are placed means for driving the capsule receiving drum 34 in rotation inside the subassembly.

- the water injection subassembly comprises a water inlet side comprising a water inlet
- the rotary drum 34 is shaped as a hollow capsule holder with an internal cavity 36 complementary shaped to receive the capsule.
- the rotary drum 34 prolongs itself axially by a rotating shaft 37 which is maintained in rotational relationship relative to an outer base 38 of the liquid receiver 33 by a rotational guiding means 39 like a ball bearing or needle bearing. Therefore, the rotary drum is designed to rotate around a median axis I whereas the outer base 38 of the receiver is fixed relative to the device.
- a mechanical coupling can be placed at the interface between the rotating shaft 37 of the drum and the shaft 42 of the motor 40.

- the engaging part 49 has a central bore for receiving the water injector and rotational guiding means such as a ball or needle bearing 50 inserted between the part 49 and the injector 45.
- the capsule engaging subassembly 29 may further comprise a tubular portion of skirt 62 which protrudes in the internal annular chamber 63 of the liquid receiving subassembly 30 when the two subassemblies are closed relatively one another about a capsule.
- This tubular portion of skirt 62 forms an impact wall for the centrifuged liquid which exits the centrifuged capsule.
- This portion 62 is preferably fixed on the subassembly 29.
- the subassembly further comprises a handling portion 64 for facilitating the connection on the liquid receiving subassembly 30.
- This handling portion 64 can have a knurled peripheral surface for handling.
- the handling portion can be fixed on the fixed base of the subassembly 29 by screws 67. This portion could of course be replaced by a lever mechanism or a similar handling means.
- the rotary engaging part comprises piercing elements 53 located at the periphery of the part. More particularly, the piercing elements are formed of small elements protruding from the lower surface of the engaging part. The piercing elements are preferably distributed along a circular path thus forming a puncturing crown at the surface of the engaging part.
- the piercing elements are solid (i.e., non-hollow) elements having a larger base and narrowing tip. For instance, the elements are small truncated pyramids.
- the liquid Due to the widening shape of the sidewall 7 of the capsule, the liquid is forced to rise up (Direction F) through the substance in the capsule and to press on the peripheral portion of the membrane 3 thus causing the membrane to pierce against the elements 53.
- the element being solid ones, outlets are formed by the small interstices comprised between the edge of the pierced holes in the membrane and the surface of the piercing elements fitting in the holes. Therefore, filtering of the liquid can be carried out between the elements and the membrane. A specific filter in the capsule might not be necessary. Therefore, the piercing members are arranged at the periphery of the wall 55, preferably evenly distributed to provide several outlet openings in the capsule for the centrifuged liquid to leave the capsule forming several streams of liquid.
- small flow distribution slots 71 may be provided downstream of the injection head.
- An annular collecting recess 57 may be provided between the elements 53 and the slots 71 to provide a more uniform distribution of the volume of liquid.

- the piercing elements 53 can be hollow to let the liquid pass there through.
- the water injection subassembly 29 further comprises a valve system for controlling the flow of liquid that is discharged from the device.
- the valve system can be arranged on the capsule rotary engaging part in the form of an annular engaging portion which is biased under the force of elastic loading means such as springs.
- the annular engaging portion includes a pressing peripheral surface which applies a closing force on the peripheral rim 4 of the capsule to be able to restrict the flow of liquid under the force of the elastic loading means.
- the surface can form a cone or "V" for increasing the sealing pressure in a localized area.
- the engaging portion further comprises an internal base portion. The elastic loading means is thus inserted in a space located between the base portion and a counter-force portion of the engaging part. Therefore, at a rest position, the engaging portion of the valve system keeps closing on the rim of the capsule under the compressive effect of the resilient means.
- connection means 31 are provided for the relative connection of the two subassemblies 29, 30.
- small pins 65 are provided on the side of the tubular surface of the water injection subassembly 29 which can engage side locking openings 66 on the tubular surface of the liquid receiving subassembly 30. Therefore, connection between the two subassemblies can be carried out by a rotational angular or helical closure movement for enabling the pins to engage the oblong openings 66.
- other connection means can be envisaged to replace this bayonet-type connection means.
- a threading means or a translational closure means can be envisaged by any person skilled in the art.
- the capsule system of the invention works basically according to the following principle.
- the capsule device is opened by moving the two subassemblies 29, 30 relatively one another, e.g., by disconnecting the bayonet-type connection and separating the two subassemblies' 29, 30.
- a single-use sealed capsule 1 containing a food substance can be inserted in the device, i.e., placed in the cavity of the rotating drum 36.
- the capsule can be placed in the device while the capsule being gastightly closed by the sealing foil 3.
- the device is then closed by the subassembly 29 being connected back onto the subassembly 30 and locked by the connection means. In the locked position, the capsule is opened by the water injector that pierces through the sealing foil of the capsule and introducing itself through the water inlet 35 of the capsule.
- the membrane can be weakened at the periphery of the sealing foil by the outlet piercing members 53. Weakening of the membrane may consist in forming small imprints in the membrane or small through- holes. Water can thus be introduced in the capsule via the central water injector 45. Venting holes can be produced in the injection subassemblies to allow gas to escape the capsule while water is introduced in.
- the capsule can be driven in rotation by activating the rotary motor 40. The start of the centrifugal operation can be carried out at the same time as water injection starts being introduced in the capsule or slightly after or before this water injection operation starts.
- the centrifugation is carried out by rotating the capsule around the central axis I of rotation of the device that is preferably aligned to the central axis A of the capsule.
- the rotational speed is preferably of from 1000 to 16000 round-per-minute (rpm), more preferably of from 1500 to 10000 rpm.
- a control unit can be provided in the device for setting the rotational speed according to the nature of the liquid to be brewed and/or the substance in the capsule. The higher the rotational speed, the higher the pressure is exerted at the peripheral wall of the capsule and the more the substance is compacted on the sidewall and perforable membrane of the capsule. It is important to notice that higher rotational speeds promote brewing of coffee extract containing a lower solid content since the residence time of liquid in the coffee bed is shorter.
- the substance such as coffee powder
- the substance tends to compact itself radially against the peripheral walls 7, 17 of the enclosure of the capsule whereas water is forced to flow through the substance.
- the centrifugal forces exert themselves uniformly on the mass of the substance. Consequently, the water distribution is also more uniform compared to usual methods using a pressure pump to exert the pressure in the capsule.
- there is a lower risk of preferential flow path through the substance which could lead to areas which are not properly wetted and so not properly brewed, dispersed or dissolved.
- the liquid that reaches the internal sidewall of the capsule is a liquid extract.
- the liquid extract is forced to flow upwards along the internal surface of the sidewall of the capsule.
- the widening of the sidewall 7 of the capsule promotes the upward flow of the liquid in the capsule in direction of the openings.
- the membrane 3 deforms and is consequently pierced against the piercing elements 53.
- a centrifuged liquid is allowed to pass through the plurality of outlet openings 18 provided in the capsule, e.g., through the lid 8. This results in a second delivery phase which takes place during which the liquid is released through the pierced outlets.
- the outlet openings also provide flow restrictions that impact on the interaction of water with the substance and on the creation of foam or crema on the top of the beverage.
- the flow restrictions create shear forces and consequently generate foam or coffee crema.
- Some gas contained in the capsule can become entrapped in the liquid and provides, due to the pressure release after the flow restriction, a multitude of small bubbles in the liquid.
- the delayed opening of the membrane of the capsule depends on various parameters such as the centrifugal speed, the characteristic of the membrane (tear strength, thickness), the shape of the piercing elements, etc.
- the system capsule of the invention provide remarkable brewing results with solid contents which are higher than with usual systems.
- the results are very reproducible from capsule to capsule.
- crema is also remarkably improved with a creamier, more stable and thicker texture.
