- the capsule again consists of PP or PE, but should be biodegradable. Mention should also be made of EP2291316 B1, which discloses a flange of softenable in hot water contact material. Increases the volume of the capsule, this is removable only with increased effort from the brewing chamber. This capsule should also be biodegradable. However, the decomposition process of PP or PE will last for many months.
- Coffee capsules or lids of such capsules can also be made
- Polymer compositions (PLA, PE o. A.) are to be biodegradable, for example, according to DE 10 2014 001 152 A1, WO 2015121489 A1 or WO 2017072808 A1, wherein a multi-layer structure is provided.
- WO2017167624 A1 a capsule of polysaccharides, in particular starch, cellulose or fibers is described, wherein the capsule body consists primarily of folded cardboard. This capsule body is coated with a
- the invention has for its object to provide a capsule for preparing in particular hot or hot drinks, especially of coffee or tea portions, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, can be produced with little effort and is completely biodegradable in a short time.
- the object is solved with the features of claim 1.
- the capsule according to the invention is a coffee capsule consisting essentially of a completely biodegradable and natural raw material.
- the inventive coffee capsule can be produced in a shaping step and consists essentially of bio-based plant fibers, preferably bamboo fibers and / or sugarcane fibers and at least one
- Biodegradable is defined in terms of home composting, the
- composthome (vincotte) to be completely convertible into raw compost. Ie. in less time than usual.
- a partial object of the invention is the development of a method for producing such a capsule.
- a significant advantage of the invention is also that these capsules due to their simple design mass suitable, d. H. can be produced in 100-million-fold quantities.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a capsule according to the invention in a perspective view
- FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the capsule according to the invention
- 3 shows a further embodiment of the capsule according to the invention in a perspective illustration
- 4 shows a sectional view of a further embodiment of the capsule according to the invention.
- the coffee capsule 1 comprises a substantially cup-shaped or frusto-conical capsule body 2 with a conical wall, a height of about 28 mm and a volume of about 13 ml.
- a head part 3 is formed and at the larger diameter, a circumferential and outwardly projecting, annular flange 4 is formed.
- the flange 4 has a diameter of about 36mm.
- the head part 3 facing surface 5 of the flange 4 serves as a clamping and sealing surface in a brewing chamber, respectively.
- a counter-pressure plate of the coffee or espresso machine and its remote from the head part 3 and rough outer surface 6 (net side) serves the support of a flat, not shown, lid.
- the lid is tightly closing on the outer surface 6.
- the interior of the capsule body 2 can be filled with a conventional amount of coffee powder and is closed after filling with the lid.
- An outer wall 12 of the capsule body 2 has a smooth surface, which in water and steam in a coffee machine only one
- the surface 5 of the flange 4 is provided in the example with an externally abutting and circumferentially molded, thickened paragraph 11. Spaced apart from this shoulder 11, an annular bead 7 can still be formed on the surface 5 of the flange 4 (FIGS. 1 and 3). Without paragraph 11 and bead 7, the thickness of the flange 4 is about 0.8mm.
- Bead 7 and paragraph 11 are elastically deformable in the example and in the example have a substantially same height of about 0.7 mm.
- the wall thickness of the capsule body 2 and in particular of the conical wall is for example 0.6 mm, the wall thickness of the ring 9 in the example only about 0.2 mm.
- the conical wall merges into an annular region 10, which may be designed to extend in a planar manner (FIG. 1, 2) or conically ascending (FIG. 3).
- annular region 10 which may be designed to extend in a planar manner (FIG. 1, 2) or conically ascending (FIG. 3).
- a retracted ring 9 with significantly lower wall thickness, in the example at least smaller than half the wall thickness of the region 10, wherein the ring 9 in turn planar (Fig. 1, 2) or conically increasing ( Fig. 3), a cone forming, may be formed.
- the middle 8 again has approximately the wall thickness of the conical wall of the
- FIG. 4 Another embodiment of the capsule according to the invention is shown in FIG. 4 in a sectional view.
- the transition 13 from the outer wall 12 to a flat bottom 3 is rounded with a rounding radius of about 4, 5-4, 6mm.
- the wall thickness of the outer wall 12 is again about 0.6 mm, the wall thickness of the bottom 3 is in this example about 0.4 mm.
- the bottom 3 is preferably thinner than the outer wall 12 of the capsule body in order to allow a better squeezing of the water during the brewing process.
- the walls and other parts of the capsule body 2 are sufficiently stable and dimensionally stable under the influence of water and heat.
- the ring 9 is pierced by the injection needles of the coffee or espresso machine and is sufficiently resistant to breakage despite the small wall thickness.
- the coffee capsule 1 (without lid) consists of only one layer of material,
- the coffee capsule 1 consists of vegetable fibers, preferably of bamboo fibers and / or sugarcane fibers and at least one food-approved additive that is water and oil repellent.
- the plant fibers are first pretreated depending on the fiber structure, crushed and optionally ground, taking into account the different material structures of bamboo and sugar cane. In particular, the degree of bamboo bamboo fibers should be adjusted so that an optimal water throughput on
- the plant fibers are mixed with the additive.
- the capsule body 2 according to the invention is produced in a molding machine which contains two tools.
- One tool is a heatable pressing tool and is preferably made of steel, while the other tool is a net or a net-like molding tool.
- the tools are preferably multiple tools in which several coffee capsules 1 can be produced at the same time.
- pretreated and crushed bamboo fibers and / or sugar cane fibers in a tank or the like are soaked with water and at least one additive and treated until a homogeneous mass of the components fibers, water and additive (s) is formed. This mass is subsequently sponged in the network tool and formed into blanks of coffee capsule 1, wherein the largest part of liquid escapes.
- the material is pressed so that less material remains on the bottom 3 than on the outer wall 12, so that water can be pressed well through the bottom 3 during the brewing process, even with high material compression.
- a fine blank can be made by laser cutting if required. Preferably, however, can be dispensed with the fine blank. Subsequently, a separation of the coffee capsules 1.
