A protective structure (1) for an apparatus for the handling of containers comprising a frame (2), panels (9) for insulating it from the external environment, fastened to said frame (2) by fastening means (10) which create a gap between said frame (2) and said panels (9), and gasket means arranged in said gap, said gasket means comprising a tubular gasket wall (11) which can be expanded by forcing in fluids under pressure, characterised in that in non-operating conditions the gasket wall (11) become separated from the surface of the frame (2) and of the panel (9), therefore ceasing to have any contact with the protective structure;
- opposite ends of said gasket wall being fastened respectively to top and bottom portions of the frame (2), thereby holding in position said gasket wall.
