Integrally formed elastomeric sealing geometry: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Pressure loss during extraction causes inconsistent beverage quality and machine leakage. Engineering the seal as an integral component of the capsule body ensures airtight mechanical engagement and reduces assembly failure rates.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Integrally formed elastomeric sealing geometry?

High pressure fluid leakage

(17)evidences

Inconsistent sealing between the capsule and the extraction device leads to pressure loss and contaminated beverage quality. Preventing bypass ensures proper extraction pressure and hygiene.

Fluid bypass and leakage

(14)evidences

Inadequate sealing between the capsule and the beverage machine leads to pressure loss and bypass flow. Preventing fluid escape ensures proper extraction pressure and consistent beverage quality.

Inaccurate liquid level detection

(7)evidences

Leakage at the interface between the ingredient capsule and the extraction machine prevents proper pressure buildup. Ensuring a hermetic seal during high-pressure extraction is critical for consistent beverage quality and machine safety.
