Abstract
An apparatus for cutting capsules includes an engaging portion rotatable together with a spindle, the engaging portion including an axially protruding projection for abutting on an inner protrusion of the cap in a circumferential direction, and a contact surface for abutting an inner central region of the cap. The contact surface and the abutting surface are movable to achieve a phased angular orientation configuration with respect to a cutting device for cutting caps and an axial holding configuration. The inner protrusion of the cap has a preset angular position with respect to a circumferential score on a side wall of the cap. Cutting of the cap includes leading the axially protruding projection to a circumferential abutment on the protrusion, leading the contact surface to an axial abutment against the inner central region, and scoring the cap by the cutting device.
