摘要

A method and a manufacturing machine (10) for the production of capsules (1) for smoking articles designed to contain a liquid to be used in the cooling of the smoke and provided with a cup-shaped body (2), wherein the manufacturing machine (10) comprises: a control station (S4) for a first wall (5) of the cup-shaped body (2); a transfer station (S5) for transferring the cup-shaped bodies (2) from the control station (S4) into trays (35) fed on a conveyor; and a support member (21) for supporting a plurality of cup-shaped bodies (2) having at least three capsule-carrier tables (29), wherein two peripheral capsule-carrier tables (29A, 29C) are movable between a first position, in which they are arranged at a distance (D) other than zero from a central capsule-carrier table (29B), and a second position, in which they are arranged close to the central capsule-carrier table (29B), and vice versa; wherein, in the transfer from the control station (S4) to the transfer station (S5), the two peripheral capsule-carrier tables (29A, 29C) are moved from the first position to the second position.
