Triple capsule, and apparatus and method for manufacturing same

An apparatus for manufacturing a triple capsule, the apparatus comprising:

• a material supply unit configured to supply an interior material, an intermediate film material, and an exterior film material;
• a molding unit comprising a nozzle mount receiving the interior material, the intermediate film material, and the exterior film material and
• a triple nozzle in which a first nozzle discharging the interior material, a second nozzle discharging the intermediate film material, and a third nozzle discharging the exterior film material are arranged concentrically, and
• discharging a triple molding body by performing coextrusion on the interior material, the intermediate film material, and the exterior film material;
• and
• a cooling unit forming the triple capsule by circulating a coolant and cooling the triple molding body.

A seamless capsule comprised in a cigarette, the seamless capsule comprising:

• an interior material comprising a water-soluble solvent and a water-soluble flavoring material and having a diameter of 2.5 mm or more and 6.0 mm or less;
• an intermediate film material comprising a fat-soluble wax and having a thickness of 0.1 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less;
• and
• an exterior film material comprising a water-soluble polymer material and having a thickness of 0.3 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less,
• wherein a melting point of the intermediate film material is 38° C. or more and 95° C. or less.
