Abstract
The invention relates to a method of producing beverage containers (10) with the steps: producing a plastics material container (10), wherein the plastics material container (10) is produced from a plastics material pre-form by means of a shaping device (2); conveying the container (10) to a filling device (4) filling the container (10) with a liquid and, in particular with a beverage, wherein the liquid is filled into the container (10) at a temperature which is above 50° C., wherein the container (10) is sterilized between a separating device arranged upstream of a pre-form inlet of the shaping device (2) and the filling device (4).
Claims11
A method of producing beverage containers with the steps:
- producing a plastics material container, wherein the plastics material container is produced from a plastics material pre-form using a shaping device;
- conveying the container to a filling device;
- filling the container with a liquid and, in particular with a beverage, wherein the liquid is filled into the container at a temperature which is above 50° C.,
- wherein
- the container is sterilized between a separating device for the plastics material pre-forms arranged upstream of a pre-form inlet of the shaping device and the filling device.
An apparatus for producing filled containers, with a shaping device which shapes plastics material pre-forms to form plastics material containers, with a conveying device which conveys the plastics material containers away from the shaping device, and with a filling device which is arranged downstream with respect to the shaping device along a conveying path of the plastics material containers and which fills the containers with a liquid, wherein the filling device is designed in such a way that it fills the liquid at a temperature of more than 50° C. into the containers, wherein the apparatus has a sterilization device which is arranged between a separating device arranged upstream of a pre-form inlet of the shaping device and the filling device and which sterilizes the containers.
