Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0758624A1] The bottling plant of the invention comprises a bottle (3) feed line and a plurality of operative groups (10, 20, 30, 40) each of which is provided with mobile organs which on command act on the bottles (3) transiting on the feed line. Each operative group is provided with a motor for commanding the mobile organs, and comprises a sterile chamber (10a, 20a, 30a, 40a) which is crossed by the bottles (3) and which has walls (4), which is kept slightly pressurized and which constitutes a sterile zone containing part of a relative operative group. At least one wall (4a, 4b) of each sterile chamber sealedly separates the relative sterile zone from the motors for moving the bottles and from the means for commanding the mobile organs of the relative operative group. <IMAGE>
