A METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A PACKAGING CONTAINER.

摘要

The invention relates to a method of producing a packaging container with low microbiological load by treating the packaging material with a combination of a chemical sterilization agent and UV-light. The invention is characterised in that a first partial quantity of the chemical sterilization agent is applied on the packaging material a sufficiently long time before the packaging material is irradiated with UV-light in order for a predetermined portion of expected microorganisms to have time to absorb a sufficient amount of the chemical sterilization agent in order to be exterminated on being irradiated with UV-light, and that a second partial quantity of the chemical sterilization agent is applied on the packaging material in a sterile chamber before the packaging material is irradiated with UV-light. The invention also relates to a device for realising the method, and a filling machine provided with the device.
