Definitions
- Assembly comprising a capsule intended to receive a substance for the preparation of a drink and a sealing film
- the invention relates to an assembly comprising a capsule intended to receive a substance for the preparation of a drink and a sealing film.
- Capsules are known with a body that can be manufactured by molding, in particular by injection of a plastic material into a mold provided for this purpose, said body having a side wall bordered on either side by a bottom and by a rim surrounding an opening of said body.
- Such capsules are in particular intended for the preparation of a hot drink of the coffee, tea or infusion type.
- a capsule is installed in the housing of a machine provided for this purpose, where it is held by a piston during the passage of an extracting liquid, for example, hot water, through it and the substance that it contains.
- the capsule must be opened to allow the flow of the drink through the opening, but the substance must be stored in the capsule with good barrier properties against oxygen and humidity in the air in order to preserve its organoleptic properties.
- WO-2019/185637 provides for the use of a sealing film which may include in particular a compostable layer based on cellulose and a layer having barrier properties to oxygen and/or humidity.
- the invention aims to improve the prior art by proposing in particular a sealing film of simplified structure combining good oxygen and moisture barrier properties while being able to be advantageously biodegradable and/or compostable.
- the invention proposes an assembly comprising a capsule intended to receive a substance for the preparation of a drink, said capsule comprising a body having a side wall bordered on either side by a bottom and by a rim surrounding an opening of said body, said assembly comprising at least one sealing film covering at least one of the side wall, the bottom and the opening, said sealing film comprising a layer based on MFC microfibrillated cellulose.
- FIG. 1 shows in exploded perspective an assembly according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows in cutaway perspective the structure of a sealing film according to one embodiment of the invention.
- an assembly comprising a capsule 1 intended to receive a substance for the preparation of a drink is described below.
- the capsule 1 comprises a body which can be manufactured by molding, in particular by injection of a plastic material into a mould, said body having a side wall 2 bordered on either side by a bottom 3 and by a rim 4 surrounding a opening 5 of said body.
- the body of the capsule 1 has a geometry of revolution around a central axis forming a side wall 2 which is globally inscribed in a truncated cone with a straight generatrix between the bottom 3 and the upper rim. 4.
- the bottom 3 may include an opening 6 intended to be covered by a lower cover 17.
- the capsule 1 is also equipped with an upper cover 16 which is associated with the flange 4 to cover the opening 5 by forming in said body a compartment for loading the substance.
- the opening 5 makes it possible to load the substance into the compartment closed on the opposite side by the lower cover 17, said opening being closed by the upper cover 16 after said loading.
- the substance can be loaded through the opening 6 of the bottom 3 into the compartment, then the lower lid 17 can be associated to close said compartment before the preparation of the drink.
- capsule 1 is intended for the preparation of a hot drink such as coffee, tea or infusion.
- the capsule 1 can be placed in the housing of a machine provided for this purpose, in order to be held there by a piston fitted with pins to pierce the bottom 3 of said capsule.
- the bottom 3 is crossed by at least one pin to inject extractor liquid, in particular hot water, into the substance contained in the capsule 1.
- the injection of the liquid induces an increase in the pressure in the compartment to allow, after rupture of the upper cover 16, the flow of the drink through the opening 5.
- the lids 16, 17 must make it possible to ensure tight closure of the capsule 1, in particular by forming a barrier against oxygen and humidity, in order to be able to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the substance stored before its use.
- the side wall 2 may be covered with a label 18 forming a barrier against oxygen and humidity.
- the capsule 1 is equipped with at least one sealing film 12 covering at least one of the side wall 2, the bottom 3 and the opening 5 in order to to respectively form the label 18, the lower lid 17 and the upper lid 16.
- the two lids 16, 17 and the label 18 are formed from the sealing film 12.
- the sealing film 12 has at least one layer 12b based on MFC microfibrillated cellulose.
- the MFC layer 12b can be in the form of a layer of paper formed with microfibrillated cellulose so as to be highly fibrillated, while being able to be in particular translucent, so as to be able to be a particular barrier to oxygen.
- the MFC layer 12b can be provided with a print made by depositing ink on one of its faces, said print comprising for example information text and/or a decorative element, such as for example a logo, a brand, and/or a description of the substance contained in the capsule.
- the MFC layer 12b being transparent, the printing ink can be deposited on its inner face in order to be protected.
- the printing may have gloss and/or antistatic properties.
- Microfibrillated cellulose consists of individualized cellulose microfibrils or in the form of aggregates. These microfibrils generally have a diameter of 2 to 20 nanometers, and a length of the order of a few micrometers. Microfibril aggregates are composed of several cellulose microfibrils clumped together.
- MFC The production of MFC is based on the release of the constituent elements of the secondary wall of lignocellulosic fibers by mechanical means coupled with pre-treatments, enzymatic or chemical.
- the fibers used can be unbleached or bleached chemical pulp, mechanical pulp produced from wood, recycled pulp...
- the thickness of the MFC layer 12b is between 30 and 70 miti.
- the MFC layer 12b has an oxygen transmission rate of at most 5 cm 3 /m 2 .day.atm, and in particular less than 1 cm 3 /m 2 .day.atm, according to the standard ASTM D3985, and a basis weight of between 40 and 90 g/m 2 .
- the MFC layer 12b may have a water vapor transmission rate which is less than 100 g/m 2 .24h, measured according to the ASTM E96 standard.
- the MFC layer 12b may have been treated to improve its resistance to humidity, for example by means of a moisture barrier coating.
- a water vapor barrier lacquer is applied to the MFC layer 12b to give it a water vapor transmission rate which is less than 50 g/m 2 .24h, in particular less than 5 g /m 2 .24h and more particularly less than 1 g/m 2 .24h.
- the MFC layer 12b makes it possible to obtain a sealing film 12 having a high surface mass and sufficient sealing against oxygen for the barrier function, and this while being perfectly biodegradable and/or compostable.
- the sealing film 12 can be associated with the body 1 during its injection molding of a plastic material, according to an IML (In-Mould Labeling) process.
- IML In-Mould Labeling
- a label 18 having a printed MFC layer 12b can be associated by manufacture on the side wall 2 of the capsule 1 .
- the sealing film 12 may comprise a sealing layer 12c on the body of the capsule, said layer being suitable for hot and/or cold sealing.
- the sealing film 12 has at least a second layer 12a made of fibrous material which is associated with the MFC layer 12b, the layers 12a, 12b each having a basis weight and an oxygen transmission rate, the basis weight of the second layer 12a being lower than the basis weight of the MFC layer 12b, the rate of oxygen transmission of the MFC layer 12b being lower than the rate oxygen transmission of the second layer 12a.
- the layers 12a, 12b, 12c of the lid 12 can be associated with each other by a film of glue 15.
- a biodegradable adhesive for example based on corn starch, can be used in order to facilitate the elimination by composting of the waste generated by the capsule 1 .
- the second layer 12a is based on cellulosic fibers, in particular in the form of a filter-type paper.
- This production of the sealing film 12 makes it possible to combine an MFC layer 12b having a high surface mass and sufficient oxygen sealing for the barrier function, with a second layer 12a of lower surface mass and without specific barrier function, wherein the fragility of an MFC layer 12b of limited thickness can be compensated by the thickness of the second layer 12a.
- the second layer 12a of filter paper also makes it possible to have a function of filtering the drink extracted through the opening 5 in order to eliminate the substance residues therefrom. Furthermore, the applicant has observed that this combination of layers 12a, 12b improves the rupture of the upper lid 16 with a view to dispensing the drink, in particular by increasing the stretching of the MFC layer 12b.
- the thickness of the second layer 12a is greater than the thickness of the MFC layer 12b. According to exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the second layer 12a is between 60 and 100 miti.
- the second layer is porous, having an air permeability which is greater than 500 l/m 2 .s, according to the ISO 9237 standard.
- the basis weight of the second layer 12a can be between 10 and 40 g/m 2 , that of the sealing film 12 possibly being between 100 and 120 g/m 2 .
- the invention makes it possible to envisage a biodegradable and/or compostable sealing film 12, in particular in combination with a sealing layer 12c based on polylactic acid (PLA) and/or cellulose and glue.
- a sealing layer 12c can be based on polyhydroxyalkanoate (PFIA) or based on polybutylene succinate (such as BioPBS).
- the capsule 1 can also be biodegradable and/or compostable, in particular by having a body made from a compostable material according to standard EN 13432, as for example described in the document WO -2019/185637.
- the materials constituting the capsule 1 and the sealing film 12 can be chosen to allow both industrial and domestic composting, and can be biodegradable.
- the body of the capsule 1 is produced by injection of a plastic material based on polylactic acid (PLA) or polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), insofar as these materials, in addition to being compostable and compatible with food substances, make it possible to easily produce by injection capsules 1 with thin walls, and not deforming under the effect of heat.
