Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, these specified methods using electron rays or ultraviolet rays, in turn, have a disadvantage in that the above rays must be shielded because they are also harmful to users.
In this case, the corresponding shielding equipment is also more complicated

Embodiment Construction

[0057] figure 1 Shown is a plant 50 for processing containers. In this case, reference numeral 52 designates a supply device that transfers the plastics material pre-forms to a heating device or furnace 51 . In this case, the heating device 51 can be a microwave oven in which the container or the plastics material pre-form, respectively, is conveyed along a circulation path and heated in a resonator, respectively. However, it is also possible for the device to have an infrared (IR) heating element, which can also be designed in the form of a heating chamber for separate heating of the plastics material pre-forms. The heating device adjoins a stretch blow molding machine 54 in which the plastics material pre-forms are heated to form plastics material containers. Afterwards, the filling machine 56 fills the containers and the containers are transported away.

[0058]As mentioned above, preferably, the device 1 according to the invention is used for sterilizing plastics materi...

Abstract

A method of sterilizing packaging means (10) and, in particular, plastics material pre-forms (10), wherein the packaging means (10) are conveyed with a conveying device (2) and wherein at least one area of the packaging means (10) is acted upon with a flowable medium by a stressing device (4). According to the invention the medium applied to the area is subjected to irradiation with electromagnetic radiation in order to produce singlet oxygen, wherein this singlet oxygen is used to sterilize the packaging means (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for sterilizing packaging structures. Background technique [0002] For a long time, in the field of the beverage production industry packaging means such as glass or plastic containers, packaging films, packaging seals etc. have been sterilized before being filled with eg beverages. For this purpose, the most common disinfection methods are known from the prior art. Thus, it is known, for example, to use peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide (H 2 o 2 ) acts on each packaging mechanism. Furthermore, it is known to act on the packaging mechanism with ultraviolet light or X-rays or the like. In the case of so-called wet disinfection using peracetic acid or in the case of dry disinfection with hydrogen peroxide, there is the disadvantage of containing corrosive media which are more difficult to handle and therefore require complex mechanical technology. In addition, energy consumption is high and c...
