    摘要: A filling machine (1) includes a dosing station (3) comprising a supporting element (5) and a dosing unit (10) having a dosing cylinder (12) and a piston (13), for filling bodies (101) of capsule (100) with a product (P) picked-up from a tank (4); the supporting element (5) is movable between a lowered picking position (B), in which the dosing unit (10) is inserted in the tank (4) and a dosing position (C) in which the dosing unit (10) faces a body (101); the piston (13) is movable between a first internal position (D) to form a dosing chamber (15) suitable for picking up and retaining a dose (PI) of product (P), a second internal position (E) to reduce a volume of the dosing chamber (15) and compress the dose (PI) and an external position (F) to push the dose (PI) from the dosing cylinder (12) into a body (101).
