Embodiment Construction

[0072] figure 1 A partial view of a device 1 according to the invention for sterilizing plastic pre-forms 10 is shown. The reference L thus refers to the longitudinal direction of the plastic pre-form, which here simultaneously forms the axis of symmetry of the plastic pre-form. These plastic pre-forms 10 have a mouth 10a which has a larger cross-section than the base body of the plastic pre-form. The washer 10c is arranged below the thread 10b of the plastic pre-form. Reference numeral 22 refers to support means which support the plastic pre-forms in their mouth region, for example in the region below the gasket 10c. Reference number 2 refers to the carrier on which the plastic pre-forms 10 are arranged during the sterilization process. Preferably, as mentioned above, the carrier 2 may be a carrier wheel. The reference P refers to the transport direction of the plastic pre-forms.

[0073] Above the mouth of the plastic preform 10 there is provided an actuator, generally ...

Abstract

The device (1) has a transport unit for transporting the plastic preforms (10) along a predetermined transport path (P) and multiple application units (4) which impinges the plastic preforms with a fluid sterilizing agent. The application units are movably formed with the plastic preforms. The application units are arranged such that the liquid medium is injected at a predetermined angle with respect to a longitudinal direction (L) of the plastic preforms. The longitudinal direction (LB) of the application units are arranged in offset manner with respect to the longitudinal direction of the plastic preforms. An independent claim is included for a method for cleaning or sterilization of plastic preforms.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for sterilizing containers, in particular for sterilizing or separately cleaning plastic preforms. Background technique [0002] In the beverage production industry it is known to sterilize plastic containers, especially before filling. The inner surface as well as the outer surface of the plastic container can be sterilized. Sterilization can be performed by germicidal radiation, such as beta radiation, or by use of a sterilization agent, such as hydrogen peroxide gas. However, from the prior art in the applicant's country, it is also known at the same time not to or not only to sterilize the finished plastic containers, but also to sterilize the preforms themselves. In this way, for example, these plastic preforms can achieve a certain pre-sterilization before they are expanded into plastic containers. [0003] In order to improve the conservability of sensitive filled products especially in PET conta...
