Abstract
The invention relates to a method for lubricating and cleaning and/or disinfecting filling facilities for containers receiving beverages or foodstuffs, wherein the containers are conveyed on transport devices which are brought into contact with an aqueous solution of a conveyor lubricant during operation for the purpose of lubrication, wherein said aqueous solution is produced by diluting a product concentrate with water at a first dilution factor. The transport devices and/or the devices connected thereto are cleaned and/or disinfected during preselected time intervals and without interrupting the filling and transport operation by using the product concentrate for cleaning and/or disinfecting the transport devices and/or the devices connected thereto once said product concentrate has been diluted with water at a second dilution factor that is smaller than the first dilution factor.
