  • the composting process envisages, for the staff managing the plant in which the cycle is executed, implementation of some operations of movement of the organic mass undergoing the composting cycle according to approximately fixed schedules.
  • This action which is of a prevalently mechanical nature, aims at turning over the mass of the reacting compost to oxygenate it.
  • This mechanical action is consequently applied also to the cartridges, which, being contained in the bulk of the organic mass, can react under this action according to pre-set modalities of disaggregation determined by the design of the capsule itself (i.e., the bottom and/or the lid tend to undergo delamination and/or to tear with greater ease than the rest) .
  • cartridges that, during the composting cycle, are able to open up to facilitate mixing with the rest of the organic mass may lead to an improvement in the rapidity of disintegration and thus represent an aid to the staff managing the plant in obtaining a homogeneous end product according to the final desired requisites.

  • At least one between the top wall 16 and the bottom wall 142 can be initially connected to the side wall 140 (e.g., welded thereon, as exemplified in Figure 1) so as to withhold the dose 12 within the cartridge 10 during the step of conservation, dispensing, and discharging of the cartridge from the dispensing machine.
  • the side wall 140 e.g., welded thereon, as exemplified in Figure 1
  • the aim of the foregoing is to favour exit of the spent dose 12 from the cartridge 10 and thus enable acceleration and completion of disintegration, and hence of composting of the cartridge 10 in accordance with the reference standards since, for example, the microbial action can take place on both sides of the side wall 140.
  • the top wall 16 and/or the bottom wall 142 of the cartridge 10 may be made so as to have a higher rate of disintegration than the side wall 140, this being a result that may also be facilitated by the possible presence of holes formed during dispensing of the liquid product.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une cartouche (10) contenant une dose (12) d'au moins une substance telle que du café moulu, laquelle cartouche peut être utilisée dans la préparation d'un produit liquide, par exemple, à l'aide d'un liquide et/ou de vapeur introduits dans la cartouche (10), et laquelle comprend une paroi latérale (140), une paroi inférieure (142), à travers laquelle ledit produit liquide est apte à s'écouler à partir de la cartouche (10), et une paroi (16) pour fermer la cartouche (10) au niveau de l'extrémité opposée à ladite paroi inférieure (142). La paroi latérale (140), la paroi inférieure (142) et la paroi de fermeture (16) comprennent un matériau compostable après l'utilisation de la cartouche. Soit la paroi inférieure (142), soit la paroi de fermeture (16), soit les deux, se désintègre(nt), pendant le compostage, plus rapidement que ladite paroi latérale (140). En outre, ou en variante, soit la paroi inférieure (142), soit la paroi de fermeture (16), soit les deux, est(sont) reliée(s) à la paroi latérale (140) par une liaison pouvant être dissoute pendant le compostage. De cette façon, pendant le compostage, la dose usagée (12) n'est plus retenue à l'intérieur de la cartouche (10), ce qui accélère la désintégration, et, par conséquent, le compostage, de la paroi latérale (140).
