Interior safety capsules

Abstract

The invention involves a device for closing packages, in particular for single use, of bottle types or packs that can be nested and recycled. The inner membrane sealed capsule permits advances in terms of storage and hygiene. It is of interest to the packaging sectors that contain a product at atmospheric pressure or under pressure, for aerated or sparkling beverages for instances, for varied products such as foods, pharmaceuticals, chemical products, etc.
