Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1262447A2] An apparatus for the sterilisation of movable means (12, 50) and provided with alternating motion and able to pass from a sterile area (23) to a non sterile area, is characterised in that it comprises heating means (25, 26) acting in correspondence with a localised and restricted area of the movable means (12, 50) proximate to the sterile area (23) to keep it at such a temperature as to guarantee its sterility so that the remaining part of each movable means (12, 50) is not heated by the heating means (25, 26). The movable means can be the drawing rods of a blower, the stems (50) of a jack for lifting containers in a filling machine, or the shafts (12) supporting a capping head. <IMAGE>
