Abstract
A pod for processing used cooking oils is disclosed that allows a higher energy efficiency of the process and better quality of the final result obtained, in view of different possible uses. This increase in terms of energy efficiency makes it possible to use an apparatus of the domestic appliance type, for processing a given quantity of used cooking oils together with the processing pod according to the invention. Providing the user with the possibility of opting among different combinations of functional substances provided in a main structure and in a secondary structure of the processing pod should, together with the possibility of using an apparatus of domestic use, allow the valorization of used cooking oils directly at the point of consumption.
Claims24
A processing pod for processing of a given quantity of used cooking oils comprising:
- a main structure made from a fusion of a plurality of substances including a first substance (A) which comprises a wax, wherein the main structure comprises a molded structure formed in a mold having a defined pod configuration, wherein the main structure has a bulk density that is at least 10% less than a density of the first substance (A), wherein the density of the first substance (A) is in the range of 0.87 up to 0.93 g/cm3.
An apparatus for processing used cooking oil comprising:
- at least one processing device for processing a given quantity of the used cooking oil;
- and
- at least one processing pod formed of a solidifying composition for mixing with the quantity of the used cooking oil, wherein the processing pod includes a first structure that is formed from a fusion of a plurality of substances including a first substance (A) that is a wax;
- wherein the processing device includes an entrance for the processing pod to permit the processing pod to be introduced into contact with the used cooking oil;
- wherein the processing pod is constructed and the apparatus has a volume to process a quantity of between 75 ml and 125 ml of the used cooking oil for each processing pod in each operation cycle of the processing device.
A processing pod for processing of a given quantity of used cooking oils comprising:
- a first structure made from a fusion of a plurality of substances including a first substance (A) which comprises a wax;
- and
- a second structure that is separate from the first structure;
- wherein one of the first and second structures has a through hole through which the other of the first and second structures passes resulting in the first and second structures being coupled to one another by a press-fit;
- wherein the second structure is formed of at least one functional substance (B) selected from the group consisting of an aromatic, a surface treatment, a cosmetic, an anti-oxidant, and a color agent, wherein the functional substance (B) is soluble on an oil base;
- and
- wherein the at least one functional substance (B) represents between about 25% and 75% in mass of the second structure.
