- the reference number 10 designates as a whole a cartridge (also referred to as "capsule") for the preparation of a liquid product via introduction of hot liquid and/or steam into the cartridge .
- the liquid product in question may be a beverage, such as for example coffee (for instance, espresso coffee) obtained by introducing into the cartridge 10 liquid and/or steam under pressure and at a high temperature (i.e., hot) .
- coffee for instance, espresso coffee
- a high temperature i.e., hot
- the cartridge 10 contains a dose 12 (represented for simplicity of illustration only in Figure 2) of at least one substance that can form the aforesaid liquid product (e.g., a beverage such as coffee) using the aforesaid liquid and/or steam.
- a dose 12 represented for simplicity of illustration only in Figure 2 of at least one substance that can form the aforesaid liquid product (e.g., a beverage such as coffee) using the aforesaid liquid and/or steam.
- the dose 12 may comprise ground coffee or some other precursor of a liquid product, such as for example a beverage.
- the cartridge 10 may substantially have the shape of a tray or a cup where the dose 12 is present and may comprise:
- the foil 16 may be plane and/or be designed to be connected in a sealed way, for example by heat sealing, to the side wall 140 of the body 14 in the cartridge, for example in a position corresponding to a flange 144 that surrounds the mouth part of the body 14.
- the body 14 may be shaped like a tray, with mutually parallel opposite end surfaces, that for example diverges from the bottom wall 142 to the end closed by the sealing foil 16.
- this diverging conformation may be frustoconical as exemplified herein. This conformation is not on the other hand imperative in so far as the cartridge 14 could present different shapes; for example, it may be prismatic, frustopyramidal , etc.
- the bottom wall 142 may have either an overall plane conformation (see for example Figures 3 and 4, to which we shall return in what follows) or be shaped like a concave vault (as illustrated in Figure 2 and in Figures 5 and 6) , for instance, with the concavity facing towards the outside of the cartridge 10.
- Figure 2 illustrates in brief the modalities of use of a cartridge 10 according to criteria that can substantially be likened to the ones described in the document No. EP-A-0 507 905, already cited previously.
- the cartridge 10 is brought to rest - i.e., into contact - on an array of tips (bottom tips) 100.
- the tips 100 may have, for example, a hollow structure, substantially resembling that of the needle of a syringe, with one or more openings 102 designed to enable outflow of the liquid product prepared using the cartridge 10.
- top foil 16 of the cartridge 10 is exposed to, i.e., set facing, another array of tips (top tips) 104 that are to perforate the sealing foil 16 of the cartridge.
- the top tips 104 are made to drop down, as represented by the dashed lines in Figure 2, so as to penetrate into the sealing foil
- the cartridge 16 is opened on its top side.
- the hot water flows into the cartridge 10, it performs a dual function.
- the tips 100 deform the bottom 142, creating therein dimples and subsequently start to perforate the bottom wall 142 of the cartridge 10 so that the coffee infusion starts to exit from the cartridge 10.
- the tips 100 may be hollow tips, resembling hypodermic needles, so that the coffee infusion can start to exit from the cartridge 10 passing through the openings 102 so as to flow into the cavities of the bottom tips 100, which lead to a duct for delivering the beverage for example into a suitable container for the beverage (see, for example, C in Figure 7) .
- the mechanism for perforating the bottom wall 142 by the array of tips 100 proceeds until practically every one of the tips 100 has perforated the bottom wall 142 of the cartridge 10 and penetrated into the cartridge 10 itself so that the axial cavity of the tip provides a path of flow for delivery of the coffee infusion. This condition is maintained until preparation of the beverage is through, after which the pump that sends the hot water under pressure into the cartridge 10 is deactivated, the top tips 104 (if this has not already occurred previously) are recalled upwards, and the spent cartridge 10 can be extracted from the machine and replaced with a new cartridge to proceed to preparing a new coffee.
- the cartridge 10 is inserted into an infusion assembly comprising an infusion chamber having a height h that is identified by the distance that separates the array of bottom perforating tips 100 (more precisely the plane of lie of the vertices or crests of the tips 100) from the plane in which the hot liquid and/or steam are/is introduced into the cartridge.
- the latter plane is practically the plane in which, during the process of preparation of the beverage, the sealing foil 16 is positioned and kept by the supporting elements 200, for example, a ring-shaped structure (whether continuous or discontinuous), which support the cartridge 10 in a position corresponding to the flange 144 on which the foil 16 is applied.
- the supporting elements 200 for example, a ring-shaped structure (whether continuous or discontinuous), which support the cartridge 10 in a position corresponding to the flange 144 on which the foil 16 is applied.
- the position in which the cartridge 10 is located at the start of introduction of the hot liquid and/or steam into the cartridge may be different from the one in which the cartridge is initially introduced into the machine.
- the cartridge 10 starts from an initial condition that it occupies when it is introduced into the machine - where the overall height of the infusion chamber may be greater than the height h represented in the figures - and reaches only subsequently the position that it occupies at the start of introduction of the hot liquid and/or steam into the cartridge itself.
- the height h of the infusion chamber here considered may be defined as the distance between the plane of lie of the vertices or cusps of the tips of the array 100 and the plane of introduction of the hot liquid and/or steam into the cartridge 10: this plane can be identified precisely by the plane where the foil 16 is located at the moment when the step of introduction of the hot liquid and/or steam into the cartridge 10 starts (and not, possibly, in previous steps) .
- the bottom 142 of the cartridge rests already on the tips 100 so that the process of perforation of the portion 1420 by the tips of the array 100 starts immediately at the start of the process of introduction of the hot liquid and/or steam, i.e., as soon as the hot liquid and/or steam start/starts to flow into the cartridge 10 through the foil 16 perforated by the top tips 104.
- One or more embodiments enable improved results to be achieved by resorting to embodiments as exemplified schematically in Figures 3 to 6.
- the above embodiments are inspired the general criterion of introducing hot liquid or steam into the cartridge 10, bringing about deformation of the bottom 142 thereof, with consequent perforation of at least a portion 1420 of the bottom 142 itself by an array of perforating tips 100 facing the bottom 142.
- One or more embodiments may, however, envisage that, when the hot liquid and/or steam in the cartridge 10 start/s to be introduced therein, the bottom 142 is facing the array of tips 100 - but is kept at a certain distance therefrom. In this way, the bottom 142 of the cartridge 10, by undergoing deformation, comes into contact with the array of perforating tips 100 only subsequently, i.e., with a certain delay with respect to the start of the action of introduction of the liquid and/or steam into the cartridge.
- One or more embodiments may envisage that the hot liquid and/or steam are/is introduced into the cartridge 10 at a pressure kept under control (e.g., via a pressure-modulation valve) at values in the region of 2-12 bar, optionally 5-8 bar.
- a pressure kept under control e.g., via a pressure-modulation valve
- the material of the body 12 of the cartridge (or at least of the bottom part 142 subjected to deformation) may be chosen from among :
- polysaccharides such as starch - Mater-Bi ® - cellulose, lipids, proteins
- Also numbered in this category are mixtures of the above (the so-called compounds) and/or insertion of additives such as micro-/nano-particles (e.g., talcum, Cloisite ® ) .
- additives such as micro-/nano-particles (e.g., talcum, Cloisite ® ) .
- the part of the bottom 142 subjected to deformation may have a thickness comprised between 50 and 700 ⁇ .
- One or more embodiments make it possible for perforation of the bottom 142 of the cartridge 10 to occur at a pressure of 2-4 bar without there being any structural yielding of the bottom itself.
- the combined effect of these mechanical, thermal, and hydraulic conditions can enable the bottom 142 of the cartridge 10 to undergo "extrusion" gradually towards the array of tips 100 bringing about a condition of pre-infusion that is improved as compared to solutions as exemplified in Figure 2, where the array of tips 100 is in contact with the bottom of the cartridge 10 (even) before start of the process of introduction of hot liquid and/or steam into the cartridge 10 itself.
- the experiments conducted by the present applicant show that the effect of thus setting the array of tips 100 at a distance from the bottom 142 of the cartridge may improve the effect of pre-infusion .
- the pre-infusion i.e., the step in which the hot liquid and/or steam penetrate/s and diffuse/s in the dose 12 before the beverage starts to exit from the holes opened by the tips 100 in the bottom 142
- the pre-infusion can play an important role for the purposes of the final qualitative result: in fact, a fair number of the extracts are solubilized precisely during pre-infusion; prolongation of the time for pre-infusion may consequently improve the mixability between the hot liquid/steam (e.g., water/steam) and the dose (for example, ground coffee) thus increasing the extract.
- the hot liquid/steam e.g., water/steam
- the dose for example, ground coffee
- One or more embodiments may achieve this prolongation via the plastic deformation that the bottom 142 of the cartridge 10 undergoes before reaching the condition of contact with the array of perforating tips 100, which are initially at a distance from the bottom 142 when this is in the undeformed condition.
- the evident physical effect of this phenomenon is that, at the end of delivery, the cartridge is "higher” than before delivery (i.e., before being introduced into the infusion assembly) .
- the extent of the aforesaid initial distance between the bottom 142 and the array of tips 100 may be comprised between 1 mm and 6 mm, for example between 2 mm and 4 mm.
- the distance in question may be defined as distance between the plane in which the vertices or cusps of the tips 100 lie and the general plane of lie of the bottom 142: it is, in other words, the plane that provides a position of stable rest of the cartridge once this is resting on a horizontal surface.
- the ranges of values defined previously may be referred to the distance between the plane in which the vertices or cusps of the tips 100 lie and the plane of rest as defined above, in practice, the plane in which there extends the radially outer part of the bottom 142, which surrounds the concave part, where the portion 1420 that is to be perforated is located.
- control of the pressure of introduction of the hot liquid and/or steam for example in the range 2 to 12 bar or, preferably, in the range 5 to 8 bar can mean that inside the cartridge 10 there is not created within a short time an excessively steep pressure ramp: this can prevent any uncontrolled deformation of the bottom 142 and enable a regular heating of the material constituting the bottom 142, thus enabling "extrusion" thereof towards the array of tips 100.
- Figures 3 to 6 present some examples of embodiment .
- Figure 3 consequently exemplifies a situation in which the entire bottom 142 is located, with respect to the plane of introduction of the hot liquid and/or steam (plane identified by the foil 16), at a distance less than the height h of the infusion chamber.
- the bottom wall 142 and in particular the portion 1420 that is to be perforated, is located right from the start in contact with the array of tips 100 or at least in the neighbourhood thereof (points designated by P) ;
- the bottom 142 of the cartridge 10 - and in particular the portion 1420 that is subsequently to be perforated by the tips of the array 100 - albeit facing the array of tips 100, is kept at a distance from this array (for example, by the values indicated previously) .
- this may occur as a result of the plastic deformation induced by the hot liquid and/or steam introduced into the cartridge 10, with the bottom wall 142 that comes into contact with the array of tips 100 and is subsequently "extruded” against them being perforated thereby so as to bring about exit of the beverage thus prepared from the cartridge 10 (for example, via the axial cavities of the tips of the array 100) .
- the duration of the interval or delay between when the hot liquid and/or steam start/s to be introduced into the cartridge 10 determines the duration of the step of pre-infusion described previously.
- the duration of the step of pre- infusion may be different from (e.g., longer than) the duration of the step of pre-infusion in embodiments such as the ones exemplified in Figures 3 and 4 (with the bottom 142 substantially plane) .
- the deformation run (and hence the corresponding extent of deformation) that the bottom 142 is required to make to come into contact with the array of tips 100 may in fact be greater in the case of the concave bottom of Figures 5 and 6 than in the case of the plane bottom of Figures 3 and 4.
- the choice of one conformation or the other may hence constitute, possibly together with other parameters (materials, dimensions, etc.) a factor such as to enable adjustment of the duration of the pre-infusion step, for example as a function of the characteristics of the substance constituting the dose 12 (e.g., as a function of the mixture of coffee contained in the cartridge 10) .
- the infusion chamber (as defined herein) may have a height h ranging from 15 mm to 35 mm.
- the criteria of use described above can be satisfied using cartridges 10 with a height d, measured between the sealing foil 16 and the perforable portion 1420 of the bottom 142, less than the height h of the infusion chamber, and hence, with reference to the values indicated above for the height h, values of the height d ranging from 17 mm to 26 mm.
- the cartridge 10 can be located in the infusion chamber with the bottom 142 (perforable portion 1420) kept facing the array of tips 100 but at a distance therefrom, and is thus in a condition to come into contact with the array of tips 100 merely as a result of the deformation induced by the hot liquid and/or steam introduced into the cartridge.
- a second way to satisfy the criteria of use described above may regard the possible use of pre- existing cartridges 10 via machines provided with an infusion assembly in which the means 200 for supporting the cartridge 10 are positioned (or, more in general, positionable, since the aforesaid elements may be mobile during introduction of the cartridge, as explained at the start of this detailed description) so as to support the cartridge 10 with the bottom 142 set at a distance from the array of tips 100, once again envisaging that the bottom 142 (perforable portion 1420) comes into contact with the array of tips 100 merely as a result of the deformation induced by the hot liquid and/or steam introduced into the cartridge 10.
- the criteria of use described above can be satisfied by using machines, i.e., infusion assemblies with supporting means such as for example the one designated by 200, in which the height h of the infusion chamber is such that the height d of the cartridge 10, measured between the sealing foil 16 and the bottom 142 (perforable portion 1420), is less than the height h of the infusion chamber.
- the cartridge 10 can be located in the infusion chamber with the bottom 142 (perforable portion 1420) at a distance from the array of tips 100, and is thus in a condition to come into contact with the array of tips 100 merely as a result of the deformation induced by the hot liquid and/or steam introduced into the cartridge.
- Figure 7 illustrates an example of structure of machines for preparing beverages according to embodiments.
- the reference number 20 designates as a whole the infusion assembly comprising the infusion chamber, in which there can be inserted, according to the modalities described previously, the cartridge 10 from which the beverage (for example, coffee) exits and is collected in a container such as a cup C.
- the liquid (typically water) that is to be heated for production of the beverage is contained in a tank T, from which it is pumped via a pump P to be sent on to a boiler W, possibly in view also of the generation of steam.
- the steam possibly generated can be delivered outwards via a nozzle S controlled by a tap R.
- the hot liquid and/or steam are/is sent to the infusion chamber 20 through a pressure-modulation valve V that can be calibrated, for example at values (2- 12 bar; 5-8 bar) already mentioned previously.
- the valve V may be substantially of the type described in WO-A- 2013/014618.
- the reference D indicates the possible presence of a drawer for collecting the spent cartridges.
