Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0132034A1] Apparatus and method for sterilizing the interiors of paperboard containers 58, wherein such apparatus and method are operative prior to the container being mounted on a mandrel assembly 24 on which the container bottom closures are formed, closed and sealed. This is accomplished by providing nebulizing means 12 for communicating a suitable sterilant fog through and onto the inside surfaces of the carbon blank 40 immediately after it has been removed from a magazine 18 and opened into a four-sided tubular 44 shape, thereby greatly increasing the total interior sterilizing time available prior to the container being filled, as compared to conventional sterilization processes which are operative after the bottom panels of the carton have been closed and sealed.
