SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STERILE PACKAGING OF BEVERAGES

摘要

A system and method for sterile packaging of beverages in plastic containers form the plastic containers and fill them with sterile beverages in a common sterile environment. The containers are formed from a blow molding process in which the containers reach elevated temperatures sufficient to at least impart sterilize the interior of the containers, are filled with sterile beverages immediately after the containers are formed in the same sterile environment. This eliminates the need for heavy use of sterilizing fluids for the plastic containers such as hydrogen peroxide or the like.
