UNIT AND METHOD FOR RELEASING PRODUCT FOR EXTRACTION OR INFUSION BEVERAGES IN CONTAINERS FORMING SINGLE-USE CAPSULES OR PODS

摘要

Described is a unit for releasing product for extraction or infusion beverages in containers (2) forming single-use capsules (3) comprising: at least one seat (S1) for containing a predetermined dose (33) of product having side walls; a device (6) for feeding the product in the containing seat (S1) to define the dose (33); a device (70) for compressing the product in the containing seat (S1); a device (10) for moving the seat (S1) along a closed path (PS); a device (71) for ejecting the dose from the containing seat (S1); a unit (15) for controlling and operating the compacting device (70) and the ejection device (71); the control and operating unit (15) being configured for controlling the compacting device (70) with a force such as to produce a compression which causes a coupling of the dose (33) with the side walls of the containing seat (S1) which prevents, in the operating condition of the unit, the escape of the dose from the containing seat (S1) in the absence of actions mechanical for pushing on the dose.

主权项

1. A unit for releasing product for extraction or infusion beverages in containers of single-use capsules or pods, comprising:
at least one containing seat designed to contain a predetermined dose of product and having side walls; a feed device designed to feed the product in the at least one containing seat for defining the predetermined dose of product; a compacting device designed to compact the dose of product in the at least one containing seat; a movement device designed to move the at least one seat along a closed path; an ejection device designed to eject the dose out from the at least one containing seat; a control and operating unit designed to control and operate the compacting device and the ejection device, the control and operating unit wherein it is configured in such a way as to control the compacting device to exert a compression force on the dose of product such as to make the dose of product coherent and cause a stable coupling of the dose with the side walls of the at least one containing seat and such as to prevent, in the operating condition of the release unit, the dose from escaping from the at least one containing seat in the absence of mechanical actions pushing on the dose.
