Plant for producing beverage containers with sterilisation of the blow moulding machine

2:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the sterilising device has an application device configured to apply the flowable sterilising medium to the plastic parisons.

3:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the sterilising device is in communication with the reshaping device in such a way that the sterilising medium can pass from the sterilising device to the reshaping device.

4:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the application device is configured such that sterilising medium is applied to the transport area with a concentration which is lower than a concentration of this sterilising medium in the sterilising device.

5:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the application device has an exhaust air flap arranged between the sterilising device and the reshaping device.

6:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the production device has a filling device which is arranged after the reshaping device in a transport direction of the plastic containers.

7:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the production device has an extracting device configured to extract a gaseous medium from the transport area of the reshaping device.

8:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the production device has a gas application device configured to apply a gas and in particular air to the reshaping device.

9:

• The production device according to claim 1, wherein the production device has a conditioning device configured to condition at least one medium to be fed to the device and in particular a temperature control device configured to control a temperature at least one medium to be fed to the device, wherein the conditioning device is preferably in communication at least temporarily with the transport area of the application device.

10:

• The production device according to claim 9, wherein the conditioning device has at least one heat exchanger device.

11:

• The production device according to claim 9, wherein the conditioning device has at least one temperature measuring device, in particular configured to measure a temperature of the sterilising medium and/or a temperature of the transport area.

12:

• 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 and in particular plastic bottles, 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.

13:

• The method according to claim 12, wherein the sterilising medium flows at least temporarily from the sterilising device to the reshaping device and/or the sterilising medium is extracted at times intermittently from the transport area of the reshaping device.

14:

• The method according to claim 12, wherein at least components of the reshaping device and particularly preferably the reshaping device itself are permanently gas-treated with low concentrations of sterilising media.

15:

• The method according to claim 12, wherein the flowable medium is at least temporarily conditioned and in particular temperature-controlled.

16:

• The method according to claim 13, wherein the flowable medium is at least temporarily conditioned and in particular temperature-controlled.

17:

• The method according to claim 14, wherein the flowable medium is at least temporarily conditioned and in particular temperature-controlled.
