A method and apparatus for the sterilization of plastics material pre-forms, wherein the plastics material pre-forms are conveyed by a conveying device along a pre-determined conveying path and are sterilized at least for a time during this conveying by being acted upon with a flowable sterilization agent, wherein the plastics material pre-forms are conveyed at least for a time inside a housing. According to the method and apparatus, at least one portion of the housing is heated at least for a time and/or during the sterilization procedure by a heating source independent of the sterilization agent.

Method and apparatus for the sterilization of plastics material pre-forms with tempered housing

The invention relates to a device () for sterilizing plastic parisons (), with a sterilization chamber () and a transport device () disposed at least partially inside the sterilization chamber () for moving the plastic parisons () within the sterilization chamber (), wherein the transport device () has at least one gripping system () for engaging round and supporting the plastic parisons () by means of a gripping clamp (), wherein the gripping system () has a displacement means () for displacement during sterilization within the sterilization chamber of contact surfaces (A) of the plastic parisons () which are shielded by the gripping system () from a sterilizing medium and/or sterilizing radiation.

Device for sterilizing plastic parisons

An apparatus for sterilizing plastic preforms, comprises a transport device that transports the plastic preforms along a predefined transport path, each plastic preform extending in a longitudinal direction; and a plurality of actuation devices. Each actuation device inputs a flowable medium into interiors of the plastic preforms, respectively. The actuation devices travel with the plastic preforms in a transport direction along the transport device. The actuation devices at least one of inject the flowable medium into the plastic preforms at a predefined angle &#x3b1; relative to the longitudinal directions of the plastic preforms, or include longitudinal directions, respectively, that are offset relative to the longitudinal directions of the plastic preforms.

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.
