System for Handling Sterilisation of Thin-Body Flexible Containers (POUCH)

摘要

A system for handling the sterilisation of thin-body, pouch-type, flexible containers (1), provides for applying sacrificial closures (200) to the pouches, loading the provisional closed pouches to be sterilised on a transport device (300) for collective transport, to performing the sterilisation of the transport device (300) carrying the provisional closed pouches and, finally, separating, in a sterile chamber, the sacrificial closures (200) from the pouches, performing filling and applying an inviolable cap (100).

主权项

1. Method of preparation for the sterilisation of pouches comprising the steps of:
producing a plurality of pouches, wherein each pouch comprises a container body formed by walls made of flexible film and a spout comprising an entrance portion with an inlet and a tube with an outlet, said spout being sealingly applied to the container body (2) so as to protrude outside of it with at least a section of the tube; providing a plurality of sacrificial closures reversibly applicable to the outlet mouth of the spout; applying, sealingly and reversibly, the sacrificial closure to the outlet of the spout, thereby obtaining provisional closed pouches to be sterilised; loading a plurality of provisional closed pouches to be sterilised on a transport device for collective transport towards a steriliser.
