Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1795448A1] There is described an air processing circuit (22) for feeding sterile air to an aseptic environment (27) of a sterilizing unit (3) for sterilizing sheet packaging materials (2) for packaging pourable food products. The circuit (22) has an intake conduit (41) for drawing air for processing from the aseptic environment (27); a delivery conduit (42) for feeding processed sterile air to the aseptic environment (27); a compressor (43) having an inlet (44) and an outlet (45) connected to the intake conduit (41) and the delivery conduit (42) respectively; purifying means (46, 47) for separating undesired particles from the air drawn from the aseptic environment (27); flow measuring means (77) for measuring the flow circulating along the circuit (22); and control means (78) for varying at least one operating parameter of the circuit (22) as a function of the measured flow.
