Abstract
A sterile filling method for an additive product container defining a product chamber adapted for containing an additive product can include forcing a first gas at a first temperature into the product chamber over a first threshold period to heat the product chamber to a first threshold temperature, such as to sterilize the product chamber. The sterile filling method can further include dispensing the additive product at a second temperature into the product chamber, sealing the product chamber; and, rotating the additive product container from a first position to a second position, such as to bring the additive product into contact with a sealing member sealing the product chamber.

A sterile filling method for an additive product container defining a product chamber adapted for containing the additive product, the sterile filling method comprising:
- forcing a first gas at a first temperature into the product chamber over a first threshold period to heat the product chamber to a first threshold temperature;
- dispensing the additive product at a second temperature into the product chamber, wherein the second temperature is between about 84 degrees Celsius and about 95 degrees Celsius;
- sealing the product chamber;
- and
- rotating the additive product container from a first position to a second position.
A sterile filling method for an additive product container defining a product chamber adapted for containing the additive product, the sterile filling method comprising:
- forcing a first gas at a first temperature into the product chamber over a first threshold period to heat the product chamber to a first threshold temperature;
- between about 1 second and about 8 seconds after the first threshold period, dispensing the additive product at a second temperature into the product chamber;
- between about 10 seconds and about 15 seconds after the first threshold period, sealing the product chamber;
- and
- between about 22 seconds and about 52 seconds after the first threshold period, rotating the additive product container from a first position to a second position.
