Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for sterilizing a packaging machine with steam. Pressurized steam is supplied to a product supply equipment (A) and a product packing space (B). In order to simplify the removal of condensate produced by sterilization steam, condensate is removed from the tube system by means of cycling of pressurized sterilization steam. The cycling is performed at least at one valve (17) arranged at an outlet (16) of the tube system, whereby the cycling is monitored by means of at least one position sensor (18,19). <IMAGE>
