  • the supporting means 41, 43 comprise the horizontal handling means of the moving working trays 27a, 27b, 27c, preferably made as at least one pin engaging the tray arranged on the supporting means 41, 43 themselves and adapted to horizontally translate.
  • the first moving working tray 27a is arranged on the supporting means 41 of the first lifting device 37, the second moving working tray 27b is arranged inside the vacuum bell 25, the supporting means 43 of the second lifting device 39 are empty and the third moving working tray 27c is in a rest position under the vacuum bell 25 supported by at least one pair of guides or at least one support plan, coplanar with the level of the supporting means 41, 43 of lifting devices 37, 39 when these latter ones are in the lower level position; in such a step, the lifting devices 37, 39 are both in the upper level position, coplanar with the level of the vacuum bell 25: the second pick-and-place station 19 then takes care of taking one or more capsules from the transfer belt 7 and of orderly arranging them on the first moving working tray 27a; the vacuum bell 25 is in an open position and the capsules
  • the horizontal handling means of the supporting means 41 of the first lifting device 37 horizontally move, as shown by arrow O 1 , the first moving working tray 27a taking this latter one inside the vacuum bell 25 in an open position: the first moving working tray 27a then pushes the second moving working tray 27b taking it on the supporting means 43 of the second lifting device 39; the supporting means 41 of the first lifting device 37 are then empty.
  • the station for unloading 23 takes care of withdrawing the capsules welded by the second moving working tray 27b placed on the supporting means 43 of the second lifting device 39.
  • both lifting devices 37, 39 take the related supporting means 41, 43 to the lower level position, as shown by arrows V 1 and V 2 .
  • the horizontal handling means of the supporting means 43 of the second lifting device 39 horizontally move, as shown by arrow O 2 , the second moving working tray 27b taking this latter one below the vacuum bell 25 above the pair of guides or the support plan: the second moving working tray 27b then pushes the third moving working tray 27c taking it onto the supporting means 41 of the first lifting device 37.
  • both lifting devices 37, 39 take back the related supporting means 41, 43 to the upper level position, as shown by arrows V 3 and V 3 .

  • the above-described operating steps are merely an example and can change both depending on a different number of used moving working trays, and depending on a different number and/or placement of the vacuum bells, and depending on different displacing movements conferred to the moving working trays by the handling means.
  • the station for vacuum welding 21 comprises a single moving working tray 27 rotating around at least one rotation pin 45 whose rotation axis is substantially vertical: in particular, the moving working tray 27 is divided into two halves 27', 27'' separated by the centerline passing through the rotation axis of the rotation pin 45, each one of such halves 27', 27" alternatively and cyclically passing from a loading and unloading position of the capsules 28 through the second pick-and-place station 19 to a position inside the vacuum bell 25 for performing the welding of the capsules, through rotations, preferably by 180°, of the moving working tray 27 around the rotation pin 45, such rotation being imposed by the handling means.
  • the moving working tray 27 is arranged with its first half inside the vacuum bell 25 for welding the capsules arranged thereon, and with its second half 27'' empty and in its capsule-loading position: the second pick-and-place station 19 then takes care of taking one or more capsules from the transfer belt 7 and of orderly arranging them on the second half 27'' of the moving working tray 27.
  • the vacuum bell 25 opens, freeing the first half 27' containing the welded capsules, and the handling means start rotating the moving working tray 27 around the rotation pin 45, as shown by arrow R.
