Definitions
- the present invention relates to precharged ground coffee capsules, a method of production thereof, and an apparatus for implementing such method.
- Precharged ground coffee capsules are gaining more and more importance in the market since they are easy and practical to be used, and because each single ground coffee dose assures for a better maintenance of coffee fragrance.
- Precharged capsules can be projected for both espresso coffee machines and moka type coffee machines or the like; in the last years, the shape and structure of the different capsules have been widely developed because of different use and preservation requirements.
- capsules with a container body made of a plastic material can comprise certain materials which are adapted to resist the heat load, and generally they have to be molded, filled and than covered with layers of a water-permeable material.
- Capsules made of a metallic material are easy to be formed and require a very short thickness on one hand; on the other hand, they are difficult to be matched with a suitable filtering material, and they also have a drawback to react with ground coffee and speed up the development of rancidity.
- the device used with the precharged capsule has to be modified to an extent which can also be considerable, so that the precharged capsule can be pierced or otherwise fluid-communicated with means for supplying hot water under pressure and/or means for dispensing the ground coffee brew.
- An aim of the present invention is to provide a precharged ground coffee capsule which does not compromise the preservation state of ground coffee while being of a simple and inexpensive construction, such capsule being easy to be used with both common espresso coffee machines and "moka type” coffee machines without any special modification to the coffee machine used with the precharged capsule.
- Another aim of the present invention is a method for producing ground coffee precharged capsules, which method can be carried out in a simplest way using a single operating unit without transferring semi-finished products from a machine to another one.
- Another aim of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for implementing such new method of production.
- an object of the present invention is a precharged ground coffee capsule comprising a polygonal cross-section container body, and preferably a circular cross-section container body, made of a liquid-impermeable material, said container body having an open end and a large axial opening formed in a bottom wall of said container body, two walls made of a liquid-permeable material being arranged on said open end and at said bottom wall respectively; said liquid-impermeable material comprises a metallic material support layer and a thermoplastic material layer, said thermoplastic material layer facing the interior of said container body, said permeable walls being coupled to said container body through said thermoplastic material layer, an outwardly projecting radial flange being provided at said open end of said container body.
- Another object of the present invention is a method for producing a ground coffee precharged capsule, said method comprising the steps of:
- Another object of the present invention is an apparatus for producing precharged ground coffee capsules, said apparatus comprising:
- reference numeral 1 denotes a precharged ground coffee capsule according to the present invention; said capsule comprises a substantially frustoconical shaped container body 101 having an open end.
- Said body 101 is made of an impermeable material such as, for example, a sheet metal and particularly aluminium, and it has a large axial opening 111 formed in a bottom wall thereof.
- the body 101 has a plastic material layer on the inner side thereof, and a filtering permeable material 301 is heat-welded at an opening 111 formed in the bottom wall of the internal cavity 151 of the body 101 through such plastic material layer.
- a radial flange 121 projecting outwardly from the trailing edge of said cavity 151 enables such filtering permeable material layer 401 to be heat-welded; a ground coffee dose 2 is filled within the capsule 1.
- Fig. 2 schematically shows the steps of a first embodiment of the method for producing precharged ground coffee capsules according to the present invention
- a roll 1100 feeds a sheet metal ribbon 100 coated with a thermoplastic material layer to a station 10, where the cavity 151 of the container body 101 is punched.
- the bottom wall of the container body 101 is sheared in a subsequent station 20, then the filtering permeable material 300 fed by the roll 1300 is sheared in a subsequent station 30.
- the filtering material is welded to the bottom of the body 101 in station 40, then the cavity 151 is filled with ground coffee in station 50; after pressing of the ground coffee in station 60, a filtering material layer is sheared from a ribbon 400 fed by a roll 1400 (station 70).
- the filtering material layer is welded to the top trailing edge of the body 101 in station 80, the ribbon around the body 101 is sheared in station 90, and finally the so-formed capsule 1 is released.
- Fig. 3 shows the first three steps of the method according to the present invention, along with their corresponding operating stations;
- station 10 comprises a punch 11 and a die 13 which are provided with a punch head 12 and a cavity 14 respectively, and they co-operate to punch the cavity 151 of the container body 101 from the continuous ribbon 100.
- a shearing punch 21 and a matrix 23 co-operate to shear the bottom of the cavity 151 of the body 101, resulting in an opening 111 and a corresponding scrap 131.
- the shearing punch 21 is provided with a shearing head 22 which co-operates with an axial through-bore 24 of the matrix 22; the scrap 131 is discharged through a discharge duct 25 which is coaxial with the bore 24.
- a shearing punch 31 and a matrix 33 co-operate to shear a filtering permeable material piece 301 from the ribbon 300.
- a shearing head 32 of the shearing punch co-operates with an axial through-bore 34 of the matrix, and the filtering permeable material piece 301 is discharged to the bottom of the cavity 151, over the opening 111, through a duct 35.
- Fig. 4 shows the next three steps of the method according to the present invention
- station 40 comprises a punch 41 and a die 45.
- the punch is provided with a welding head 42 comprising heating means 43 and an annular projection 44; similarly, the die 45 is provided with a cavity 46 comprising heating means 47 and an annular projection 48 in the bottom thereof.
- the thermoplastic material layer 201 is molten and makes the permeable material layer 301 to be fixed to the edge of the opening 111.
- the container body 101 is moved to station 50, which houses a coffee grinding assembly 51 provided with a dosing hopper 52 which discharges a ground coffee dose 2 into the cavity 151 of the container body 101.
- the dose 2 is pressed by pressing means 61, the body 101 being positioned in a cavity 63 of a support 62 (station 60).
- Fig. 5 shows the last three steps of the method according to the present invention
- station 70 houses a shearing punch 71 which co-operates with a matrix 73 to shear a permeable material piece 401 from the ribbon 400 through a shearing head 72; the permeable material piece 401 falls through a conduit 75 across the matrix and onto the top of the container body 101 filled with the previously pressed ground coffee dose 2.
- station 80 a welding head 81 provided with heating means 82 and an annular projection 83 co-operates with the cavity of a die 84 whose trailing edge comprises an annular projection 87 under which heating means 86 are provided.
- the filtering permeable material is also welded to the metallic support by exploiting the thermoplastic character of its inner coating 201.
- a shearing punch 91 co-operates with a matrix 93 to separate the precharged capsule 1 from the metallic foil ribbon 100.
- a shearing head 92 co-operates with an axial bore 94 of the matrix to carry out the cutting step, and the capsule 1 is released through a conduit 95 of the matrix itself.
- the capsule is now provided with the radial flange 121, as already previously described referring to Fig. 1 , and this radial flange enables the capsule to be sealed into the device used for preparing a coffee brew, whether it is an espresso coffee machine or a moka type coffee machine, or the like.
- Fig. 6 shows a variant embodiment of the method according to the present invention
- the container body 101 is separated from the metal sheet ribbon 100 before being filled in station 50 as previously described. That is, a station 140 is added, and this station comprises a shearing punch 141 having a shearing head 142, and a matrix 143 having a through-bore 144, and the shearing head 142 co-operates with the through-bore 144 to shear the container body 101 from the ribbon 100.
- the container body 101 is dropped onto a transport line 500 which can be of any suitable construction; the subsequent stages are substantially the same as those previously described herein except that, of course, the container body is not transported by the same metal sheet from which said body was obtained in the first station (station 10, see Fig. 2 ). Also note that, in order to make the transportation of container body 101 easier, the radial flange 161 obtained by the shearing step in station 140 is considerably larger (i.e. about twice) than the flange 131 obtained at the end of processing.
- the so-produced capsules can be subsequently treated according to per se known methods, which are not illustrated and described herein in further detail, to enhance their preservation.
- single capsules will be packaged in vacuo or under an atmosphere of an inert gas such as, for example, nitrogen, using a suitable packaging material.
- the precharged capsule according to the present invention solves several problems affecting precharged capsules known in the previous art; first, due to its functional simplicity, it can be easily used with different types of devices adapted to prepare coffee brews, since it simply and only needs means for supplying water and means for gathering the coffee brew. Furthermore, the capsule is structurally robust, and this feature assures its integrity and makes its storage considerably simple. Another important aspect is provided by the construction structure of the capsule. The plastic material layer avoids a direct contact between ground coffee and metal, which is detrimental for both. Finally, the use of an inner layer of plastic material allows for a simple coupling with the filtering permeable material during the assembly procedure.
- the shape of the container body can be the shape which is most advantageously adapted to the process for production thereof; frustoconical and cylindrical shapes are preferred, but the container body can also have a polygonal section, e.g. the shape of a frusto-pyramid with a regular or irregular polygonal base.
- the method according to the present invention has several clear advantages from the process economy point of view; indeed, the whole process is carried out in one apparatus which can be made extremely compact, and the process system is continuous, resulting in a high yield.
- the first variant embodiment it is completely clear that using the metal sheet ribbon 100, from which the container body 101 is obtained, as process transport line considerably simplifies the process.
- the second variant shown in Fig. 5 of the accompanying drawings it is necessary to consider an aspect observed during the study which led to the present invention. It was noted that the "slow" step of the process was that of station 50, i.e.
- thermoplastic material layer considerably simplifies the fixing operations for the permeable material, which can be consequently chosen from materials such as paper, a non-woven fabric made of natural fibers, or the like.
