An apparatus for sterilizing containers, comprises a transport device which transports the containers along a predefined transport path and at least one sterilization device which bombards the containers with charge carriers for sterilization during a transport of the containers along the transport path. The at least one sterilization device comprises a generating device for generating charge carriers. The apparatus further comprises a screening device for screening radiation. The screening device surrounds the transport path of the containers at least in portions. The screening device comprises: a first wall adjacent the transport path of the containers; and a second wall below the transport path of the containers, wherein the second wall is movable relative to the transport path of the containers.

Apparatus and method for sterilizing containers

An apparatus () for the sterilization of plastics material containers (), and in particular of plastics material pre-forms (), with a conveying device () which conveys the plastics material containers () along a pre-set conveying path, with at least one stressing device () which acts upon an external surface of the plastics material containers to be sterilized with a flowable medium. According to the invention the stressing device is arranged in such a way that it acts upon a pre-set area of the plastics material containers ()&#x2014;situated below an aperture of the plastics material pre-forms&#x2014;with the sterilization medium.

Apparatus and method for the external sterilization of plastics material pre-forms

An Apparatus for heating plastic preforms, with a transport device which transports the plastic preforms along a predefined transport path, wherein the transport device has a plurality of holding elements for holding the plastic preforms, with at least one heating device which heats the plastic preforms transported by the transport device. The heating device has a movable wall element which is arranged for at least part of the time below the transport path of the plastic performs. The apparatus also includes a detection device which detects an incorrect position and/or a falling of at least one plastic preform in relation to the holding element holding this, as well as a control device which initiates a movement of the wall element on the basis of an incorrect position and/or falling of the at least one plastic preform detected by the detection device.
