摘要

An apparatus (1) for sterilising container closures (T), defined by a lateral wall (3) suitable for engaging the mouth of a container and an upper wall (4) suitable for closing said mouth, comprising guide means (6) for feeding the closures (2) to a sterilisation station, and a first and a second emitter (5) of ionising radiation oriented in prefixed directions of irradiation and positioned on opposite sides of the guide means (6) so as to intercept the closures (2) with said radiation in the sterilisation station; the guide means (6) are configured so that, when the closures (2) are passing inside the sterilisation station, the upper wall (4) thereof is inclined in relation to said directions of irradiation.
