A method for controlling the operation of an aseptic product filling machine includes the steps of performing a pre-production test procedure during a pre-production phase in which at least a set of subcritical control parameters are measured, diagnosed and stored, checking if those subcritical control parameters are within their range, starting a production phase if all of the subcritical control parameters are indeed within their range, and measuring, diagnosing and storing a set of supercritical control parameters and not the subcritical control parameters during the production phase.

Method for controlling the operation of an aseptic filling machine

The invention relates to a sterilizing device () for sterilizing closures (), such as lids and caps for containers, such as bottles and jars, which device comprises a housing (), provided with a closure entry () for supplying closures, a closure exit () for discharging sterilized closures from the device, a sterilizing-agent feed () for feeding sterilizing agent into the device and a discharge () for discharging used sterilizing agent, as well as pass-through means () for passing closures () through the housing (), the pass-through means () comprising a non-rectilinear pass-through path () in the plane parallel to the main plane of the closures. A sterilizing method is also described.
