Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0446455A1] A web (1) of packaging material is sterilised by preliminary cleaning in a water bath (3) and by UV irradiation (35). A very high degree of sterilisation is achieved if the preliminary cleaning in the water bath (3) is carried out using rotating brushes (21, 22). A subsequent rinsing with sterile water from nozzles (31, 32) increases the degree of sterilisation. <IMAGE>
