Abstract
A capping head for a capping machine including: a locking unit having a connecting portion and a capsule-pressing locking portion, wherein the connecting portion can be reversibly translated relative to the capsule-pressing locking portion between proximal and distal positions; a capping unit for capping a containment body; a drive unit to reversibly move the capping unit between operating and rest configurations; a transmission, acting between the connecting portion and the drive unit, to determine a rotation of the drive unit during a movement of the connecting portion between the proximal and distal positions. The capping unit includes rolling elements which can be activated on the side wall of the capsule to shape it to match a threaded portion of the containment body and is rotationally integral with the drive unit to perform a capping of the containment body activating the rolling elements for deforming the side wall of the capsule.
