A machine (M) for packing vials (F) includes a supply station (1) of empty vials (F) and an Archimedes screw (3) having a rotation axis parallel to a longitudinal development of the machine (M), activated in phase relation with the supply station (1) from which it receives the vials (F). A first device (4) has at least two cogged sectors, rotating on a common axis independently of one another, alternatively activated in phase relation with the screw (3). The machine has a comb conveyor (5), which is step-moved and designed to receive the vials (F) from one or another of the cogged sectors of the first device (4), and a filling station (8), for introduction of a liquid solution contemporaneously into a plurality of vials (F). The machine has a statistical weighing station (10) for the vials (F), arranged in proximity to the filling station (8), able to detect a tare and a gross weight of sample vials (F). A capping station (11) is provided for at least partly sealing a plurality of vials (F). A second sector device (12), configured like the first device (4), has at least two cogged sectors alternatively activated in phase relation with the movement of the comb conveyor (5). A star device (13) is provided, exhibiting a double outlet, a first (U1) and a second (U2), the star device (13) directing conforming vials (F1) towards the first outlet (U1), and rejecting vials (F2) which do not conform to determined requisites by conveying them towards the second outlet (U2).

1. A machine (M) for packing vials (F), wherein it comprises, arranged in a cascade fashion: a supply station (1) of empty vials (F);an Archimedes screw (3) having a rotation axis parallel to a longitudinal development of the machine (M), supplied with the vials (F) in arrival from the supply station (1), and destined to transfer the vials (F) to an outlet thereof, at a predetermined step;a first device (4) comprising at least two cogged sectors, with an equal step to the step of the screw (3), which at least two cogged sectors rotate on a same axis independently of one another, and are alternatively activated in phase relation with the screw (3), in order to receive a predetermined number of vials (F) from the screw (3);a comb conveyor (5), step-moved and designed to receive the vials (F) from one or another of the cogged sectors of the first device (4), consequently to a suitable phase relation between a velocity of the conveyor (5) and a peripheral velocity of the corresponding cogged sector;a filling station (8), designed for introduction of a liquid solution contemporaneously into a plurality of vials (F), which plurality is equal in number to the predetermined number of vials (F);a statistical weighing station (10) of the vials (F), arranged in proximity of the filling station (8), able to detect a tare and a gross weight of sample vials (F) of the vials (F);a capping station (11), for at least partly sealing a plurality of vials (F) which plurality is equal to the predetermined number of vials (F);a second sector device (12), conformed like the first device (4), in which at least two cogged sectors are alternatively activated in phase relation with the movement of the comb conveyor (5);a star device (13), activated in phase relation with the movement of the cogged sector of the second device (12), which star device (13) is interested by the predetermined number of vials, and exhibits a double outlet, a first outlet (U1) and a second outlet (U2); the star device (13) being destined to direct conforming vials (F1) towards the first outlet (U1), and to reject vials (F2) which do not conform to determined requisites and to convey them towards the second outlet (U2). 2. The machine of claim 1, wherein the outlet of the supply station (1) forms a longitudinal channel (2) having dimensions such as to arrange the vials (F) in a line, supplied to the screw (3). 3. The machine of claim 1, further comprising a first blower station (7) for blowing an inert gas internally of the empty vials (F), arranged upstream of the filling station (8) of the vials (F). 4. The machine of claim 3, further comprising a second blower station (9) for blowing an inert gas internally of the full vials (F), which second blower station (9) is arranged downstream of the filler station (8) and upstream of the capping station (10). 5. The machine of claim 1, wherein the capping station (10) is configured to interact exclusively with a head portion of the caps (200) in order to at least partly seal the vials (F) and comprises: a vibrator bin (110) for containing the caps (200), contacting the caps (200) only in respective head portions thereof;conveyor means (111) supplied with the caps (200) arranged in the vibrator bin (110), configured to contact only the head portions thereof;means for picking up and inserting (117), configured to contact the caps (200) only in the respective head portion, and to insert at least a part of an insertion portion of the cap (200) into the mouth of the vials (F). 6. The machine of the claim 5, wherein the conveyor means (111) comprise at least a linear vibrator (112) for bringing the caps (200) into a resting position on the head portion thereof, the linear vibrator (112) being configured to advance the caps (200) up to a stop surface. 7. The machine of claim 5, wherein the capping station (10) comprises a housing (115) which in turn comprises at least a through-hole, delimited by surfaces for receiving and retaining the caps (200) by the head portion thereof. 8. The machine of claim 5, wherein the means for picking up and inserting comprise at least a presser element (118), arranged to press, once activated, only on the head portion of a cap (200), the presser element comprising a vertically-mobile cursor (119), having a lower end for contacting the head portions of the caps (200). 9. The machine of claim 1, wherein the star device (13) comprises: a vertical-axis selector disc (130), exhibiting seatings (Q) for receiving the vials, which seatings (Q) cooperate with depression means;a first track (P1) concentric to the selector disc (130) which extends from an inlet (11) to the first outlet (U1) and a second track (P2) which intersects the first tract (P1) and extends towards the second outlet (U2). 10. The machine of claim 9, wherein the second tract (P2) of the star device (13) is situated at a lower level than the first tract (P1), with the aim of rejecting vials (F2) which do not conform to determined requisites, and to convey them to the second outlet (U2), following deactivation of the depression means.
