A rotary filler (3) is directly connected to the clean side outlet of the steriliser. A closer (4) is directly connected to the rotary filler. The rotary filler and closer are contained in a sterilised compartment (1). The closer places closure elements onto the bottles (7) supplied through a disinfector (6). At least one sterile-air generator (23) is outside the sterilised compartment and opens via pipes (24) into the sterilised compartment.
