  • the invention is particularly in the field of production of coffee capsules with deposits of polyurethane nonwoven settled.
  • containers are often provided with inserts that can perform the most diverse functions.
  • containers containing moisture-sensitive powder may be provided with a liner which absorbs the moisture and keeps the powder dry.
  • Other containers containing liquids may be provided with self-sealing inserts so as to prevent leaking of the contents despite damage to the container.
  • Other applications are to provide inserts which upon activation release a substance into the main space, e.g. for capsules or cups for drinking water could be the case, in which after a piercing o.ä. a disinfectant is dispensed in controlled doses.
  • Self-sealing inserts are also used for coffee powder capsules.
  • the deposits are usually provided on the bottom of the coffee powder capsules.
  • the capsules are pierced in the coffee machine with a needle or with 3 Stichmessem distributed on the floor surface and water is introduced through the coffee powder in the capsules. After the coffee has been prepared and the needle has been pulled out again, the coffee powder capsules remain tight due to the self-sealing insert. This avoids that when removing the coffee powder capsules leftovers of hot cooking water leak and scald the user and contamination of the capsule chamber of the coffee machine is prevented.
  • the containers are made of a container material web, for example a Aluminum band, shaped. They are punched out of a web and then made by forming, such as deep drawing or blow molding.
  • Inserts themselves are punched out of a band-shaped pad material web before they are sealed onto the aluminum band.
  • the stamping and insertion of deposits is, especially in self-sealing deposits, often associated with technical difficulties: self-sealing deposits have tensile stress on a high elasticity, so they puncture the hole immediately when drilling through the container wall together with the insert by their inherent elasticity.
  • the surfaces of such self-sealing inserts have a certain adhesiveness, so that the hole edges adhere to each other in a perforation of the self-sealing inserts and reinforce the seal.
