A device for sterilizing containers may include a treatment head having an outlet window for the passing of charge carriers therethrough, a charge carrier generation source for generating charge carriers, an acceleration device disposed above the outlet window, and a cooling device for cooling the outlet window. The acceleration device accelerates the charge carriers in the direction of the outlet window. The cooling device includes a feed opening for a gaseous medium. The feed opening is disposed beneath the outlet window and directs the gaseous medium at least partially from below to the outlet window.

Device for sterilizing containers by way of charge carriers

An apparatus () for sterilizing containers (), comprising a treatment head () which has an exit window () through which charge carriers can pass, comprising a charge carrier generation source which generates charge carriers, and comprising an acceleration device () which accelerates the charge carriers in the direction of the exit window (). According to the invention, the cross section of the treatment head () is dimensioned such that the treatment head () can be guided through the mouth of the container (), and the acceleration device () accelerates the charge carriers in such a way that the charge carriers exiting from the exit window () can be aimed preferably directly onto an inner wall () of the container ().
