Abstract: A method for inspecting the packaging of products, in particular in blister packs, including a step of feeding a succession of trays along a main feed line, in which each tray includes a plurality of seats, each intended to accommodate a respective product. The method includes a step of detecting the presence of one or more empty seats in each tray in transit. Then, according to the result of detection, the method includes either a step of feeding the tray and filling the empty tray seats by taking one or more products arranged in an auxiliary replenishing line, or a step of transferring all products in the tray from the main feeding line to the auxiliary replenishing line.

Abstract: A sealing machine and method for controlling a sealing machine Includes the following steps: placing capped containers provided with a seal on plates, rotating the plates, pressing the seal against the cap of the container and fastening said seal using a sealing head. The step of rotating the plates is performed by rotating each plate independently of the other plates. The method further includes: detecting at least one parameter associated with the rotation of a plate and/or with a compression load between each sealing head and the seal, and comparing the value of the detected parameter with a reference range.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a capsule for smoking articles. The capsule includes: a longitudinal development axis, a side wall having a predetermined dimension, a lower end edge and an upper end edge, a bottom, an opening to allow the introduction of a product, and a closing element arranged to close the opening. The method includes the steps of: a) providing the side wall of the capsule; b) filling the capsule with a product; c) determining an amount of product to be introduced into the capsule before step b); and d) arranging the bottom and/or the closing element at a definite distance from the lower end edge and/or the upper end edge based on the quantity of product determined in step c).
