Cup-shaped containers can be turned over and transferred with good stability from a sterilization-washing zone to the filling-sealing zone inside an aseptic chamber, and admixture of odor or microorganisms is prevented. The first conveyor 2 for conveying the cup-shaped container 38 in an inverted state and a second conveyor 3 for conveying the container in an upright state downstream of the first conveyor 2 are disposed in series in substantially the same plane inside a continuous aseptic chamber 1 . A container supply device, a container sterilization device, and a container washing device are disposed successively along the first conveyor 2 . A contents filling device 40 , a lid material sealing device 41 , and a device for discharging the sealed cup-shaped container are installed successively along the second conveyor 3 . Sterilization and washing are performed in an inverted state, while conveying the container with the first conveyor 2 . The washed container is turned over and transferred from the first conveyor to the second conveyor 3 and the contents filling and lid sealing are performed on the second conveyor.
