Abstract: A conveyor system to convey objects is described, in which a conveyor belt moves while having a controlled speed to advance the objects, arranged in a row one after the other at a distance one from the other, toward a first rotating disc that rotates at a controlled speed in an independent manner from the speed of the conveyor belt and that has, on a perimeter thereof, a plurality of first cavities arranged mutually spaced apart angularly to receive the objects from the conveyor belt, a second rotating disc being arranged to receive the objects from the first rotating disc.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for forming annular doses provides a flow of plasticised material supplied by an extruder which passes through a channel that is first cylindrical and then annular. The material exits from an annular outlet in front of which a cutting element passes that separates an annular dose of material. The dose is deposited on a surface of a capsule having a capacity to adhere to the dose that is greater than the cutting element. The surface and the cutting element are distanced from one another in such a manner that the annular dose remaining adhering to the capsule is detached from the element. Detachment can be promoted by a flow of air.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing closure bodies of containers having a transfer device that is associated in input with a feeder of closure bodies to be printed and in output with an unloader of printed closure bodies. The transfer device defines seats for a respective closure body to be printed which are provided with at least one resting region for at least one abutment portion defined on the outer lateral surface of the respective closure body. The seats are mutually spaced at preset distances and movable along a transfer trajectory. The apparatus includes a device for digital printing of the closure bodies to be printed which is arranged along the transfer trajectory.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for forming annular doses of synthetic plasticised material supplied from an extruder, in which the doses are applied to a surface of a capsule and the seals of the capsules are then compression-formed. The apparatus includes one tubular wall that has a longitudinal axis and is axially movable for closing an annular outlet from which the synthetic plasticised material exits with a component that is normal to the longitudinal axis. The tubular wall has a cutting edge that shears the plasticised material during the closing movement in order to separate the annular dose, formed outside the outlet, from the material that remains inside the outlet.

Abstract: A method of embossing a crown cap comprises the steps of : detecting a pre-printed drawing on the bottom of the crown cap, varying the angular positioning of the crown cap so as to position the drawing according to a preset positioning, and impressing a raised/recessed pictogram on the bottom of the crown cap. The pre-printed drawing and the embossed pictogram will have a desired reciprocal position.

Abstract: A plant for manufacturing and printing cup-shaped bodies having an apparatus for manufacturing cup-shaped bodies that includes at least one portion made of plastics and a device for positioning the cup-shaped bodies manufactured by the apparatus on a transfer device that can move along a longitudinal transfer direction. The cup-shaped bodies rest with their lower edge on a resting surface that is defined by the transfer device with its concavity directed toward the resting surface. The plant includes, along the extension of the longitudinal transfer direction, a device for the digital printing of the cup-shaped bodies, and a component for controlling the position of the top edge of the cup-shaped bodies on the resting surface, the component being connected to the digital printing device.
