Method and plant for the manufacture of capsules, in a cellulose-based material, for the preparation of beverages

Abstract

A method and a plant for the manufacture of capsules for preparation of beverages including arranging a first strip of a cellulose-based material, obtaining from the first strip concave capsule bodies, each of which defines an internal volume open at a mouth, filling one or more of the capsule bodies with a dose of an edible substance that makes the beverage, and sealing the mouth of the filled capsule bodies, with a lid of a cellulose-based material. The step of obtaining the capsule bodies provides for engaging the first strip to slide in a preset path, along which it has at least one stretched section, pressing the stretched section of the first strip by a shaped mould adapted to deform one or more portions of the stretched section, giving each of them a concave shape defining a respective capsule body, and separating each of the portions from the first strip.
