Estimating the term…
Apparatus for producing containers, and in particular beverage containers, having a heating device configured to heat plastic parisons, having at least one first transport device, which transports the plastic parisons along a predetermined transport path, a sterilization device configured to sterilize the plastic parisons, and a forming device arranged downstream of the sterilization device, as seen in a transporting direction of the plastic parisons, and configured to form the plastic parisons into plastic containers by the application of a free-flowing medium, wherein said forming device has a transport chamber within which the plastic parisons are transported. The apparatus has an application device configured to apply a free-flowing sterilization medium, at least temporarily, to the transport chamber.
A production device for producing beverage containers with a heating device configured for heating plastic parisons, with at least one first transport device which transports these plastic parisons along a predetermined transport path, with a sterilising device configured for sterilising the plastic parisons and with a reshaping device which is arranged after the sterilising device in a transport direction of the plastic parisons and configured for reshaping the plastic parisons into plastic containers by application of a flowable medium, wherein this reshaping device has a transport area inside which the plastic parisons are transported, wherein the device has an application device configured to apply a flowable sterilising medium to this transport area, wherein the reshaping device has no clean room and thus also is not aseptic,
A method for producing beverage containers, wherein plastic parisons are heated by a heating device and after heating are transported to a sterilising device to be sterilised by the sterilising device and are transported from this sterilising device to a reshaping device and from this reshaping device are expanded into plastic containers, wherein while the plastic parisons are being expanded they are transported through a transport area of the reshaping device, wherein a flowable sterilising medium is at least temporarily applied to this transport area of the reshaping device, wherein the reshaping device has no clean room and thus also is not aseptic,
