A machine for forming filter bags for infusion products includes a first carousel including a plurality of first stations for operating on pieces of filtering material. A transfer device transfers the pieces to a second carousel. The transfer device includes a first wheel, rotatable parallel to the carousels, and including units for receiving from the first stations and releasing to the second carousel, the pieces. Each receiving unit includes 1) first gripping and stabilising devices for retaining the pieces upright and positioned with a free head end directed towards the axis of the first wheel and 2) second gripping devices for positioning and retaining a tag on the piece, fed from a corresponding feeding station, to release to the second carousel the piece with a corresponding tag alongside the free head end of the piece.

The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing a pouch containing a brewable material accommodated in a wrapping, comprising a pouch manufacturing device adapted to manufacture a pouch containing brewable material, and a sealing station with jaw elements forming opposing sealing surfaces acting on the wrapping from opposite sides for sealing the pouch. The device according to the invention allows a more economical production of a packaging unit comprising a pouch in the wrapping and has a trough-shaped recess in which a helically laid heating conductor is accommodated.

A single serving edible and dissolvable pod containing a powder enclosed by a film. The pod is a single serving edible and dissolvable pod configured to dissolve in water or other liquids. The pod includes a dissolvable film of food grade ingredients that dissolve quickly in hot or cold water. When the film from the pod dissolves in the water, then the supplement is free to mix with the water to create a nutritional beverage designed for post workouts. The pod is formed with a lower panel forming a cavity for receiving the powder and covered by an upper panel. The powder defines a Ph sufficient to prevent degradation of the film.

A machine for making filter bags for infusion products includes a first carousel for continuous rotary movement about a first axis and having first operating stations movable therewith, each first operating station configured to operate on a corresponding piece of filter material fed along an angular stretch of the first carousel, to lift two chambers to a position side by side. A second carousel positioned alongside the first carousel and rotating continuously about a second axis parallel to the first axis has a plurality of joining elements positioned along, and continuously movable with, the second carousel. Each joining element is connected to corresponding control devices for actuating, in a synchronized fashion, a succession of movements of the joining element to intercept free ends of erect filter material, positioned on an operating station and joining them, towards one of the two chambers containing a dose of product.

Provided are cold brew beverage products, methods of preparing cold brew beverages, and methods of making cold brew beverage products. In particular, cold brew beverage products are provided that include an infusion bag containing infusible material, a receptacle containing water having at least one breakable wall, and an outer container.

A machine for making filter bags of different shapes for infusion products includes: a wheel defining a work surface and rotating about a relative axis; feed stations for placing tags on the work surface, a continuous thread, along a weave path, and a strip of filter material superposing the weave of thread and the tag. A sealing device is located downstream of the feed stations for sealing between the thread, tag and strip of filter material. A feed device moving the strip along a feed line is positioned downstream of the wheel. A station introduces a dose of infusion product in bag and closes the bag. The feed device has two feed rollers, for unwinding the strip, controlled by a control system for adjusting the speed of rotation of the feed rollers as a function of the length of the filter material needed to form the bag.

In particular, cold brew beverage products are provided that include an infusion bag containing infusible material, a receptacle containing water having at least one breakable wall, and an outer container.

A dosing device for feeding infusion products including a dosing drum rotating about an axis and positioned between a continuous strip of filter material, movable along a feed direction, and a primary hopper for containing a primary infusion product; the dosing drum has a plurality of radial chambers for receiving a first dose of primary infusion product from the primary hopper and for releasing the first dose of primary infusion product above the strip of filter material; the device also includes an independent dosing unit of a secondary product including controlled release elements configured for depositing a second dose of secondary product to define a mixed dose of primary product and secondary product.

A forming tube for making filter bags of tetrahedral shape for infusion products including a forming element, which is elongate and hollow, which defines a longitudinal axis and which has a first opening through which the product enters in the forming element, a second opening through which the product leaves from the forming element to be dosed inside a filter bag being formed, and an inner through cavity which connects the first opening to the second opening and inside of which flows the infusion product. The forming element includes a main body substantially tubular including the first opening and a forming end including the second opening and mobile in rotation with respect to the main body about the longitudinal axis.

The present invention relates to a simplified device and a process-technically simplified and also more rapidly applicable method for transporting readily cut and filled hose pieces within a machine for producing pouches filled with brewable material. The device according to the invention has a transport wheel which has several supports distributed over its circumference, each holding a pouch which are pivotally mounted on the transport wheel. In the method according to the invention, a hose piece for forming a pouch with at least one chamber between a head and a bottom is inserted in the radial direction into a support of the transport wheel. In a removal station the pouch is removed radially from the transport wheel with the bottom leading.
