Capping plant and a method for capping and conveying containers made of thermoplastic material

A capping plant for capping containers made of thermoplastic material, comprising:

• a capping unit of a rotating carousel type comprising a plurality of capping stations for applying concave closures to the containers and first guide means arranged so as to contact a part of a tubular body of said containers which part is exposed towards an outside of the rotating carousel of the capping unit;
• a star-wheel located downstream of the capping unit for receiving the capped containers to which the concave closures have been applied;
• an outfeed conveyor located downstream of the star-wheel;
• characterised in that the capping plant comprises:
• a connection cross-member between said first guide means and the outfeed conveyor, said outfeed conveyor being integrally constrained to a first portion of the connection cross-member and said first guide means being integrally constrained to a second portion of the connection cross-member;
• an actuating device configured to adjust the height of said connection cross-member with respect to a rest plane of the capping unit.
