  • the air-tight capsule must be perforated to enter the water, must be perforated or must explode, at least in part to dispense the beverage.
  • Another problem is the use of prepackaged charges in the so-called “multi-beverage machine", in which can be prepared tea, coffee, herbal teas, milk and cocoa drinks. Commonly, it is necessary a washing cycle of the dispensing means, which are in contact with the beverage and which then would contaminate the next product.

  • the construction of this type of capsules is definitely very complex.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a prepackaged charge that on the one hand present the shelf life given by the hermetic closure, and on the other hand it results simplified in its structure and therefore more easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a prepackaged charge of powdered food material, for the preparation of beverages by infusion or dissolution, comprising a container body provided with a continuous side wall, an open end equipped with an appropriate closing plane, and a bottom wall communicating with the outside through a delivery spout, said delivery spout being in communication with a conduit projecting towards the inside of said container body, and being the mouth end of said duct, facing the interior of said container body, covered by a layer of airtight material having at least one pre-fracturing formed along a plane perpendicular to that of said layer.
  • the tearing of the layer of air-tight material which may advantageously be aluminum provided with micro-incisions made by laser, is determined precisely by the pre-fracturing present in the said material.

  • the only requirement which must to meet this prepackaged charge is to enable the best possible dissolution of the edible material in powder form, specifically a freeze-dried beverage.
  • This object is achieved by providing a conduit 222 that extends inside the chamber 502 of the container body 2, a wall of pre-fractured material being arranged at the mouth of such duct, so as that a given level of pressure could be reached inside the chamber 502. The pre-fracturing then enable the dispensing of the drink by ensuring the right time range of dissolution.
  • the pre-fractured air-tight material wall allows adequate control upon the dispensing of the drink, without the need to provide complex and costly means for opening, anyway destined to influence the design of the entire prepackaged charge of powder of edible material for the preparation of beverages.
  • the conduit on which mouth end is positioned the said wall is provided with a cross section which is a sixth or less of the maximum cross section of the said container body, as it clearly appears from the figures 1 and 2 of the appended drawings.
