Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020070097A2] The invention relates to a method and a device for sterilizing preforms (P) for producing containers formed by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure, or for sterilizing containers formed in this manner, wherein the preform(s) (P) or containers are sterilized by means of a sterilization steam. An undesirable condensation of sterilization steam on parts or components of the device, which are exposed to the sterilization steam, is at least partially prevented in that these parts or components (20) are heated, and/or in that at least a part of the sterilization steam is liquefied by condensation on cooling elements (10, 11, 12, 13).
