Abstract

The apparatus comprises means for driving plates along an advancing path, each of which is provided, on a top face thereof, with a plurality of recesses. Along the advancing path is arranged a first delivery station for delivering a first permeable film strip, having a width adapted to substantially cover all of the recesses of each plate and cutting means for cutting into strips said film in a longitudinal direction thereof, as well as means for cross-cutting the cut strips. Moreover, in the first station, a coffee dose is delivered at each recess, on the top of the film previously deposited on the plates. Downstream of the first station is provided a second pressing station for pressing the coffee doses supplied on the plates and a third delivery station for delivery a second permeable film web on the top of the pressed coffee doses. In the third station are provided cutting means for cutting the second film web into longitudinal strips as well as means for cutting in a cross direction the cut strips. In the third station are moreover provided sealing means for sealing to one another the two films, in order to fit therebetween the pressed coffee doses. In a fourth station, the sealed films are cut about the embedded coffee doses, for finishing the thus formed wafer elements.
