Abstract
A feeding apparatus includes a hopper for a plurality of capsules, and a feeding conduit for conveying the capsules from the hopper towards a transfer device of a filling machine in a single row along a feeding direction. The feeding apparatus also includes a sensor device for detecting a reciprocal position between a lid and a body of each capsule while passing through the feeding conduit and thus whether each capsule has a correct first orientation between the lid and the body or a wrong second orientation opposite to the first orientation, and an orientation arrangement positioned downstream of the sensor device and configured to rotate by 180°, around a rotation axis, each capsule which is oriented according to the wrong second orientation, and to pass through without rotating each capsule which is oriented according to the correct first orientation.
