The housing (15) extends at least along the filling station (21) and the closing station (22), inside which housing the gas supply means (25) are designed so that, during operation, the gases flow substantially close to the filling aperture along the outside of the containers (5), in the direction of bottoms of said containers. The gas supply means comprise a plurality of adjacent gas outflow apertures opening into the housing, and for substantially each conveyance position of a container along the housing, at least one of the gas outflow apertures is situated at a distance of less than 25 centimeters from the corresponding container aperture.</p> |
