The machine comprises a capsule conveying device having cavities (14A) for accommodating one capsule (C) at a time. In addition, the machine comprises at least one capsule ejecting station (XI) that has a capsule ejecting device (19) for axially ejecting the capsules (C) from their respective cavity (14A), has guide flaps (24A, 24B), which can be individually actuated by an actuating device (39), can swivel in relation to a swivel pin (31), are each assigned to a capsule cavity (14a), and which each have two guideways (33A, 34A). Said guideways are provided for the respectively assigned capsule (A)and can be actuated by the actuating device (39). The inventive machine also comprises dividing walls that separate the guideways (33A, 34A) of adjacent guide flaps (24A, 24B) from one another. The dividing walls are each an integrated component of a guide flap (24A, 24B).
