METHOD FOR STERIALLY PACKING A PRODUCT IN CONTAINERS, AND APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT THIS METHOD

Abstract

Abstract Product packaging of containers under sterile conditions, provides hermetic closed containers, with a filler opening when containers pass through sterile filling space. Containers (1) pass through an enclosed sterile filling space (2). A hydraulic or pneumatic mechanism (4) clamps container heads (5) in recesses (7) of transporter belt (3), after which only container tops (5) pass into a steriliser space (8) in which a nozzle (9) is fitted for applying a sterilising medium. In the sterilised filling space the tops pass a rotary knife (11) which removes part of the tops. Next to the knife is a suction nozzle (12) which removes the cut part of each top. Containers then pass a filling mechanism (13) after which they pass a sealing mechanism (14) after which the containers leave the sterile filling space.
