UNIT AND METHOD FOR FILLING CONTAINING ELEMENTS OF SINGLE-USE CAPSULES FOR EXTRACTION OR INFUSION BEVERAGES

摘要

Described is a unit for filling containing elements (2) of single-use capsules (3) for extraction or infusion beverages, comprising: a line (4) for transport of containing elements (2) designed to contain a dose (33) of product; a station (SR) for filling the containing elements (2) comprising: at least a first containing seat (S1) designed to receive a dose (33); a substation (ST1) for forming a dose (33) inside the first containing seat (S1); at least a second containing seat (S2) designed to receive the dose (33) from the first containing seat (S1); a substation (ST2) for transferring the dose (33) from the first containing seat (S1) to the second containing seat (S2); devices (7) for moving the first containing seat (S1) between the forming substation (ST1) and the transfer substation (ST2) and vice versa; a substation (ST3) for releasing the dose (33) from the second containing seat (S2) to a containing element (2); further devices (8) for moving the second containing seat (S2) between the transfer substation (ST2) and the release substation (ST3) and vice versa.

主权项

1. A filling unit for filling containing elements (2) of single-use capsules (3) with a dose (33) of product for extraction or infusion beverages, comprising:
a line (4) for transporting the containing elements (2) extending along a first movement path (P) and provided with a plurality of supporting seats (5) for the containing elements (2) arranged in succession along the first movement path (P); a station (SR) for filling the above-mentioned containing elements (2) with a dose (33) of product;characterised in that the filling station (SR) comprises:
at least one first containing seat (S1) designed to receive a dose (33) of product and movable along a second movement path (P1); a substation (ST1) for forming the dose (33) inside the at least one first containing seat (S1), provided with a device (6) for releasing a predetermined quantity of product forming the dose (33) inside the at least one first containing seat (S1); at least one second containing seat (S2) designed to receive the dose (33) of product from the at least one first containing seat (S1) and movable along a third movement path (P2); a substation (ST2) for transferring the dose (33) of product from the at least one first containing seat (S1) to the at least one second containing seat (S2); devices (7) for moving the at least one first containing seat (S1) between the forming substation (ST1) and the transfer substation (ST2) and vice versa; a substation (ST3) for releasing the dose (33) of product from the at least one second containing seat (S2) to a containing element (2) transported by the transport line (4); further devices (8) for moving the at least one second containing seat (S2), designed to move the second containing seat (S2) along the third movement path (P2) from the transfer substation (ST2) to the release substation (ST3) and vice versa, the transfer substation (ST2) and the release substation (ST3) being positioned at a predetermined distance from one another along the third movement path (P2), the third movement path (P2) being parallel to the first movement path (P) of the transport line (4) at the release substation (ST3).
