Method for germ-free packaging and container assembly used with it.

摘要

An outer container (26) is detachably mounted on the neck (35) of an inner container (25) having its interior previously sterilized and sealed with a portion of the inner container underlying the neck being sealed. The container assembly is sterilized and dried (46,48), then transferred into a germ-free filling chamber (50) isolated from the atmosphere. The top (30) of the inner container is cut off, then the inner container is filled with food or drink and is sealed again. Finally, the outer container is separated from the inner container outside the germ-free filling chamber.
