Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0878182A2] The method includes a first step in which, at an orienting station (F), the capsules (3) are oriented vertically with the top shells (4) of the capsules (3) upwards; a second step in which the capsules (3) are fed successively to a detaching station (S) for detaching the top shells (4) from the bottom shells (5); a third step in which the bottom shells (5) are fed successively to a filling station (7, 8) to be filled with a predetermined quantity of at least one product; and an additional step, between the first step and the second step, in which the capsules (3), still closed, are fed successively to a checking station (31) for checking empty capsules (3). <IMAGE>
