Definitions
- the present invention relates to the manufacture of packets, in particular to infusion packets such as tea bags having a pre-determined three-dimensional shape.
- infusion packets such as tea bags were available primarily as square or round two-ply sheets of porous filter material, typically made of paper, with the infusible material, such as tea, sandwiched between the sheets.
- Such packets restrict the flow of infusible material within the packet substantially to two dimensions. As a result the infusion performance of such packets is limited.
- thermoforming processes whilst capable of generating a variety of three-dimensional shapes, are not suitable for use with infusion packet material.
- infusion packets are most commonly made of paper, which is not thermoformable.
- thermoformable material even if they were made from a thermoformable material, they would be inappropriate for thermoforming due to their porosity and thinness of the material.
- thermoforming techniques typically involve the use of air pressure to form the material.
- porosity of infusion packet material makes this approach impractical, as any difference in air pressure across the material will quickly equalise.
- thermoforming processes involve a first step of heating the material followed by a second step of thermoforming the material.
- infusion packet material is porous and very thin, it has a very small capacity to store heat.
- the very small heat capacity of infusion packet material means that any heating will quickly be lost and therefore thermoforming temperatures cannot be maintained for any useful length of time. Therefore this approach will not work.
- thermoforming materials comprising a first heating step followed by a theimoforrning step.
- the processes disclosed are therefore inappropriate for use with infusion packet material, which will cool down before thermoforming can begin.
- thermoforming is not a practical method of generating a wide variety of three-dimensional shapes from infusion packet material.
- thermoforming process that can produce a wide variety of three- dimensional shapes from infusion packet material.
- the invention relates to a process for thermoforming a gas and liquid permeable layer of thermoplastic material having an average thickness of less than 0.50 mm, the process comprising the steps of bringing the layer into contact with a layer of deformable non-gas permeable material to form a separable laminate of the two materials, arranging for the thermoplastic material to be at a thermoformable temperature and thermoforming the separable laminate, thereby thermoforming the thermoplastic material.
- the thin and porous infusion packet material can be thermoformed, provided the temperature of the material is maintained at a thermoforming temperature during thermoforming.
- the non-gas permeable nature of the deformable material allows air pressure to be employed to carry out the thermoforming. Additionally the deformable nature of the non- gas permeable material allows moulds with a wide variety of three-dimensional steps to be used, as the deformable layer reduces stresses, particularly localised stresses induced in the thermoplastic layer during thermoforming. The deformable non-gas permeable layer thus allows air pressure and moulds to be used to thermoform the infusion packet material.
- thermoplastic material has such a low capacity to store heat, steps must be taken to ensure that it remains heated during thermoforming.
- thermoplastic material also presents the risk of overheating during thermoforming.
- an effective heating method involves directing a hot gas stream onto the thermoplastic material during thermoforming.
- the material will be very thin.
- the thermoplastic material has an average thickness of less than 0.30 mm, more preferably less than 0.20 mm, most preferably from 0.01 to 0.10 mm.
- the thermoplastic material may be made from a variety of designs, but is preferably made from fibres of thermoplastic material, more particularly from woven thermoplastic fibres. Such fibres may have a diameter of less than 0.25 mm, preferably less than 0.15 mm, more preferably less than 0.10 mm, most preferably from 0.001 to 0.05 mm.
- thermoplastic material may be made from a variety of thermoforrnable materials, however polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and poly lactic acid (PLA) are preferred.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- PLA poly lactic acid
- thermoforming can be carried out in a number of ways. For example, vacuum methods involving a male or female mould can be used. Alternatively a positive gas pressure can be used to form the material, optionally involving a mould.
- thermoforming is carried out by bringing a moving mould into contact with the separable laminate to thermoform the laminate by moving the mould to impinge into the sheet laminate.
- the deformable non-gas permeable material is in contact with the mould to reduce forming stresses in the thermoplastic material.
- the deformable non-gas permeable material is typically elastically deformable, returning to a layered state after thermoforrning stresses are removed.
- the deformable material is an elastomer.
- the non-gas permeable material should be thick enough to protect and absorb localised stresses during thermoforrning. However, it should not be so thick that it reduces the ability of the infusion packet material to adopt the shape of any mould. Thus, thicknesses in the range of from 0.1 to 4.0 mm, more preferably from 0.2 to 2.0 mm are preferred.
- thermoforrning is sufficient to allow the thermoplastic material to deform under thermoforrning stresses.
- the temperature preferably exceeds 100°C so that the resulting material can tolerate temperatures up to this level without shrinking back to its original sheet form. More preferably the temperature exceeds 120°C, more preferably still exceeds 150°C and most preferably is from 170°C to 210°C.
- thermoformed thermoplastic material is preferably gas and liquid permeable.
- thermoformed thermoplastic material is permeable to aqueous liquids.
- the process according to the present invention is capable of generating a wide variety of three-dimensional shapes which can then be used as infusion packet material.
- shapes such as tetrahedral, hemispherical and the like are possible.
- thermoformed thermoplastic material typically comprising infusible entities such as tea leaves
- step of depositing a particulate product typically comprising infusible entities such as tea leaves
- step of sealing the thermoformed material to produce a sealed porous infusion packet.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a separable laminate prior to being thermoformed by a process according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the separable laminate shown in figure 1 being thermoformed according to the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of another separable laminate prior to being thermoformed by another process according to the present invention.
- figure 1 shows a separable laminate comprising an elastomeric membrane 10 and a woven polyethylene terephthalate sheet 12, having an average thickness of 50 m icrometres.
- the separable laminate is clamped by clamps 14 to a base 16 which has a channel 18 passing through to the laminate.
- Air heated to 190°C is blown onto the surface of the woven sheet 12 in the direction of arrow 20 to raise it to a thermoformable temperature.
- thermoforming air is blown through channel 18 in the direction of arrow 22.
- the membrane can deform elastically and the woven sheet is at a thermoformable temperature, the laminate deforms to take the shape shown in figure 2.
- FIG. 3 shows another separable laminate comprising an elastomeric membrane 30 and the woven polyethylene terephthalate sheet 32, having an average thickness of 50 micrometres.
- the separable laminate is clamped by clamps 34 to a base 36. Also provided is a male mould member 38.
- Air heated to 190°C is blown onto the surface of the woven sheet 32 in the direction of arrow 40 to raise it to a therrnoforrnable temperature.
- the male mould member 38 is moved downwards to contact and press onto the elastomeric membrane 30.
- the thermoplastic woven sheet 32 thermoforms to take the shape approximately that of the male mould 38.
- the elastomeric member 30 takes the burden of the thermoforming pressures, so that the thermoplastic sheet can take on a wide variety of shapes without failing.
