Abstract
Process for manufacturing a plurality of capsules containing a cosmetic product, the process including the following steps: —displacement of a support (32) through a first reservoir (44) containing a viscous material (52) designed to form the side wall, and coating of the support with a layer (56) of the viscous material; —displacement of the support through a shaping module (28) and solidification of the layer of material; —withdrawal of the support outside the shaping module, freeing an internal slot (74) defined by the layer of solidified material; —entry of at least one cosmetic product (11) from a second reservoir (80) into the internal slot; and —cut out the layer using a cutting device (68) to form the side walls of at least one capsule, and sealing of the internal spaces of capsules containing the cosmetic product by seals.
