FIELD: process flow.
SUBSTANCE: extraction module designed for high pressure extraction of substance contained in refill cartridge for preparation of beverage from content of capsule, which contains substance subjected to extraction. The extraction module contains extraction devices that include the first extraction subassembly and second extraction subassembly. The second extraction subassembly can travel until jointed with the first extraction subassembly that results in extraction chamber in closed position. The extraction chamber contains the capsule. The capsule is located in the joint plane and in opened position a large space is provided between two subassemblies sufficient to insert capsule between two subassemblies. Device intended to hold capsule and mount it in required position is made with possible linear pushing in reverse direction by the second mobile subassembly. The device intended to hold capsule and mount it in required position is installed in axial alignment with mobile extraction subassembly with possible linear travel along this axis as the specified subassembly. The device intended to hold capsule and mount it in required position is installed between two subassemblies after the capsule is inserted and partially closes the opened space. The capsule is hold between two subassemblies even when the module is in tilted position. The first subassembly represents the base. The device intended to hold capsule and mount it in required position is installed around the first subassembly in such a way that can be pushed in reverse direction to the position in order to ensure jointing of two subassemblies around the capsule. The device intended to hold capsule and mount it in required position is made as a solid unit capable to hold the capsule in central position inside opened space along several axes in the jointing plane.
EFFECT: facilitates process of inserting capsule inside this device, its installation in required position and further pushing of capsule from the device.
