<p>The present invention relates to a treatment device for sterilizing containers (R) by means of an electron beam, said device including a carousel (1) that comprises a rotary holding plate (10) supporting a plurality of treatment stations (2), each station including a sterilization means (3), comprising an electron beam emitter, and a holding means for holding a container under said emitter. The device includes a protection system for stopping the rays emitted by the emitters, said protection system comprising an annular segment-shaped, open stationary channel (6) that is mounted in a stationary manner under said holding plate (10) and forms, with the latter, a protective chamber in which the holding means supporting the containers moves, said channel having an open upstream end (61), for the inlet of the containers to be treated into the protective chamber, and an open downstream end (62), for the outlet of the treated containers from the chamber.</p> |
