Treatment machine in particular for pharmaceutical products, particularly filling and closing machine

Abstract

A treatment machine for pharmaceutical products formed as a filling and closing machine has an insulator which surrounds a sterile treatment region, a substantially plate-shaped partition which separates the sterile treatment region from an unsterile drive region, at least one movable drive member for driving treatment functions, the drive member is drivable from the unsterile region for its movement, extends through the partition into the sterile treatment region and is surrounded over at least one longitudinal portion by a passage through which a medium is supplied, the passage in an end region which extends in the sterile treatment region is open by at least one opening toward the sterile treatment region, so that a sterilization medium is aspirated from the sterile treatment region through the at least one opening into the passage and is aspirated through the passage in direction toward the unsterile drive region.
