Capsule making machine

A machine for making capsules, where the capsules each include a container and a dose of product inserted in the container, said machine comprising:

• a feed system including at least one first seat shaped for receiving a single first container therein, the feed system configured for moving the at least one first seat and the first container received therein along a feed path in a direction of feed,
• a filling station positioned along the feed path and comprising a filling unit for supplying a single dose of product into said first container,
• a detecting station positioned along said feed path downstream of said filling station according to said direction of feed and comprising a detecting sensor operating at the at least one first seat, said detecting sensor configured to detect a first parameter of said dose of product supplied into said first container,
• wherein said detecting sensor is a microwave sensor and said first parameter is at least one chosen from a moisture and a density of the dose of product supplied into said first container;
• wherein said detecting sensor comprises a cylindrical resonator positioned above the at least one first seat in said detecting station and comprising a cavity opposite the at least one first seat, said detecting station comprising a lifting device operating at the at least one first seat, positioned below the respective bracket and movable between a lowered position and a raised position, said lifting device being configured to at least partly transfer said first container from the at least one first seat into said cavity and vice versa.
