Method of molding and filling aseptic containers

摘要

A method of molding and filling aseptic containers comprises the steps of sterilizing preforms, heating the sterilized preforms to a temperature appropriate to orientation, molding the heated preforms into containers by an orientation blow molding process, filling the molded containers with an aseptic liquid and hermetically closing the filled containers each with an aseptic closure. The sterilizing step is performed by bringing a sterilizing gas into contact with surfaces of the preforms.
