Abstract: A single-dose capsule for machines for dispensing beverages in the form of an infusion is provided. The capsule has a cup-shaped body adapted to receive a dose of a product in a granular or particle form, or in the form of a concentrated liquid, and a gas-impermeable film restrained to the open top of the cup-shaped body. The cup-shaped body is made of a multilayer material manufactured by way of a co-injection molding process. The multilayer has an inner layer and an outer layer made of a structural material and an intermediate layer made of a barrier material adapted to prevent passage of oxygen from the external environment to the inside of the cup-shaped body. The invention also relates to a packaging method of the single-dose capsules.

Abstract: A disposable capsule for use in beverage machines is disclosed. The capsule has a hollow, cup-shaped body adapted to receive a measured dose of a syrup, a liquid or a powder concentrate. The hollow body has an insert housed therein which includes a disc-shaped portion and a stem which stretches out axially from the top of the disc-shaped portion. The stem has an axial through cavity which defines a channel for the dispensing of a beverage. The through cavity includes an inlet formed at an end of the stem located close to the cover of the capsule and an outlet formed at the opposite end of the stem.

Abstract: A single-dose and single-use capsule for use in a machine for dispensing beverages in form of infusion is provided. The capsule has a main cup-shaped body that bears a concentrated product in granular form, and the main body is defined by a lateral coat substantially truncated cone shaped and by a circular bottom wall. The bottom wall has: a plurality of drilling regions, which, in use, are perforated by one or more perforating elements of the dispensing machine during an infusion cycle; and a plurality of reinforcing regions, arranged adjacently and alternately to the perforation regions and having enhanced thickness with respect to them, wherein, in use, the reinforcing regions avoid slots or cracks which extend from holes made onto the perforation regions to propagate.

Abstract: A disposable capsule useful in beverage machines is disclosed. The capsule includes a cup-shaped, hollow body which holds a dose of product. The hollow body has an opening in the bottom and a flange seal on the peripheral edge of a peripheral wall. A film is applied on the bottom inside the hollow body to seal the opening. An insert is housed in the hollow body having a frustum-conical disk-like portion in whose mantle a plurality of through openings are formed and in whose cavity punching elements are formed, and a stem axially extending from the top of the frustum-conical disk-like portion. The insert is axially movable between an assembly or packaging position and an opening position. The frustum-conical, disk-like portion rests on the bottom of the hollow body and the stem presses against the cover deforming it outwardly, and an opening position.

Abstract: An infusion unit for use in a machine for dispensing beverages from a single-use capsule is described. The infusion unit has a capsule holder openable into two rotatably connected parts to allow insertion and subsequent ejection of the capsule.
