Abstract:
Beverage collector (11) for collecting a centrifuged brewed liquid coming from a rotating brewing unit (2); said collector comprising: -a collecting track (13) forming an annular cavity and, -at least one outlet (14) extending radially in the collecting track (13) for allowing the brewed liquid received in the collecting track to evacuate out of the collecting track, wherein said collecting track comprises at least one ramp surface (15) lowering in the annular direction (O) towards the outlet (14).
Abstract:
Pod for the preparation of a beverage in a centrifugal brewing device by feeding liquid through said pod and rotating the pod along a rotating axis "I" in the device to produce centrifugal forces on the liquid traversing the pod thereby forcing a beverage out of the pod by such centrifugal forces, wherein the pod comprises containment walls containing beverage ingredients; said containment walls being essentially made of porous filtering material and comprising a top wall from which a central funnel (10) comprising liquid inlet openings extends inwardly in the pod
Abstract:
Method for producing a liquid extract from food ingredients in a beverage producing device comprising a brewing unit driven in centrifugation comprising: - providing food ingredients in the brewing unit (2), - supplying heated liquid in the brewing unit, - centrifuging the brewing unit thereby generating centrifugal forces forcing liquid to flow through the food ingredients and, - dispensing the liquid, wherein it comprises an operation for compensating the thermal losses of the liquid extract in the brewing unit (2) and/or the collecting unit (18).
Abstract:
Fitment assembly (10) for a container comprising a beverage medium, the fitment assembly (10) comprising: an inlet chamber (120) to accommodate an inflow of fluid for infusion with the beverage medium to produce a beverage; a tertiary active chamber (231) on one of the sides of the fitment assembly (10) to where the infused fluid arrives and a tertiary passive chamber (232) on the reverse side of the fitment assembly (10) to where the infused fluid arrives after having been filtered; a primary filter element (11) filtering the infused fluid coming from the tertiary active chamber (231) and flowing into the tertiary passive chamber (232); and an outlet duct (12) arranged in such a way that the filtered and infused beverage from the tertiary passive chamber (232) enters the outlet duct (12) and flows by gravity towards the exterior of the fitment assembly (10).
Abstract:
The invention refers to a pack (10) for preparing food or beverage products comprising: at least one container (10′) having an inner volume where at least one base ingredient for the preparation of the food or beverage product is stored, said inner volume being defined by sheets of material joined to one another at their edges; a fitment assembly (20) through which the food or beverage product is delivered, and identification means (30) comprising the information on the food or beverage product to be prepared; wherein the identification means (30) are arranged at least on one side of the edges of the container with respect to the fitment assembly (20), the identification means (30) being further arranged in the vicinity of said fitment assembly (20).
Abstract:
Beverage brewing unit (1) particularly for machines for preparing beverages from capsules by centrifugation, comprising: a casing, a capsule enclosing assembly comprising a first enclosing part (2) connected to the casing and a second enclosing part (3), moveable relative to the first enclosing part along a longitudinal direction of axis (I), preferably in translatory movement, between a capsule insertion position in which the two enclosing parts are at distance from each other with a passage (9) formed in between and a capsule enclosing position in which the capsule is enclosed between the first and second enclosing parts (2,3), wherein the first enclosing part (2) and the second enclosing part (3) define together a centrifugal rotating chamber assembly arranged for receiving the capsule and for rotating it for the extraction of the beverage; wherein the brewing unit comprises a capsule insertion assembly (32) comprising sliding surfaces (36), preferably arranged on each lateral side of the passage (9), for guiding the flange (7) of the capsule during insertion in the passage (9) and support surfaces (35), preferably transversally oriented relative to the sliding surfaces, for holding the flange of the capsule when inserted in the passage (9).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a device 1 for producing milk foam, which makes use of Couette flow and a high shear stress that is accordingly applied to a milk-air mixture in a gap between a housing, in particular an outer cylinder, and a rotating element rotating arranged therein. The device further comprises a milk supply circuit supplying the fluid inlet with milk and an air supply circuit supplying the fluid inlet with air, both supply circuits being independent from each other.
