摘要:
Described herein is a method for injection moulding of cup-shaped container bodies for precursors of liquid food products, in particular capsules for coffee and soluble products, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a first mould part (40) having at least one cavity and a second mould part (40) having at least one core, the core being receivable by the cavity for delimiting therewith at least part of a corresponding moulding chamber; b) closing the first and second mould parts (40, 41) for delimiting the moulding chamber; c) injecting a compostable material in the fluid state into the moulding chamber to form the container body; d) waiting for at least partial solidification of the compostable material ; e) opening the first and second mould parts (40, 41); and f) extracting the formed container body from the core. In the course of a moulding operation, in the first mould part (40) a heating fluid is made to circulate and in the second mould part (41) a cooling fluid is made to circulate. In particular, in the course of at least one and the same step of the moulding operation, in the first mould part (40) and in the second mould part (41) the heating fluid and the cooling fluid, respectively, circulate simultaneously.
