<p>Thin-walled container forming and non-chemical sterilisation apparatus (10) comprises: a pre-sterilisation section (12), and a non-chemical sterilisation section (14) arranged in-line to define a guide path (18) through the apparatus (10). The pre-sterilisation section (12) includes a feeder station (22) for feeding at least one flexible container film (36, 40) onto the guide path (18), a closure insert station (24) for inserting an closure device (54) into at least one of the container films (36, 40), and a sealing station (26) at the said guide path (18) sealing the container films (36, 40) together to form a plurality of flexible hermetically-sealed thin-walled containers (94). The non-chemical sterilisation section (14) includes in-line irradiation means directed at the guide path (18) for dry- sterilising the containers (94) to in-line form a plurality of flexible aseptic hermetically- sealed thin-walled containers (122). A method of in-line forming flexible aseptic hermetically-sealed thin-walled containers (122) is also provided.</p> |
