Abstract

See full text

A machine (M) for packing vials (F) includes a supply station (1) of empty vials (F) and an Archimedes screw (3) having a rotation axis parallel to a longitudinal development of the machine (M), activated in phase relation with the supply station (1) from which it receives the vials (F). A first device (4) has at least two cogged sectors, rotating on a common axis independently of one another, alternatively activated in phase relation with the screw (3). The machine has a comb conveyor (5), which is step-moved and designed to receive the vials (F) from one or another of the cogged sectors of the first device (4), and a filling station (8), for introduction of a liquid solution contemporaneously into a plurality of vials (F). The machine has a statistical weighing station (10) for the vials (F), arranged in proximity to the filling station (8), able to detect a tare and a gross weight of sample vials (F). A capping station (11) is provided for at least partly sealing a plurality of vials (F). A second sector device (12), configured like the first device (4), has at least two cogged sectors alternatively activated in phase relation with the movement of the comb conveyor (5). A star device (13) is provided, exhibiting a double outlet, a first (U1) and a second (U2), the star device (13) directing conforming vials (F1) towards the first outlet (U1), and rejecting vials (F2) which do not conform to determined requisites by conveying them towards the second outlet (U2).
