Abstract (en)
The machine (1) comprises at least a film welding station (5) forming at least the bottom of the packages and a film sterilizing station (10) arranged upstream the film welding station (5) whereby the film (3) is sterilized before the bottom of the packages is formed. The film sterilizing station (5) comprises a chemical sterilizing unit in which chemical sterilization of the film (3) is performed by means of a sterilizing gas. By providing such a film sterilizing station (10) upstream the welding station (5), easier access to all points in the package surface is achieved and consequently packages may be more completely and efficiently sterilized.
