Abstract: An installation which includes an input station, a sterilization station which includes a sterilization chamber, a desorption station which includes a desorption chamber, and an output station. The installation includes a transporting element which is for transporting multiple objects and which is capable of successively moving the objects from the input station into the sterilization station and into the desorption station as far as the discharge station. The transporting element includes a continuous guiding path, a guide device which is guided by the guiding path. The guided device includes a movement mechanism which is capable of moving the objects between a position for movement along the guiding path and a position for insertion of the objects in the sterilization chamber and the desorption chamber.

Abstract: This installation comprises an input station (20), a sterilisation station (24) which comprises a sterilisation chamber (90), a desorption station (26) which comprises a desorption chamber (110) and an output station (28). It comprises means (32) which are for transporting the plurality of objects and which are capable of successively moving the plurality of objects from the input station (20) into the sterilisation station (24) and into the desorption station (26) as far as the discharge station (28). The transport means (32) comprise a continuous guiding path (152), a device (154) which is guided by the guiding path (152), the guided device (154) comprising movement means (176) which are capable of moving the plurality of objects between a position for movement along the guiding path (152) and a position for insertion of the plurality of objects in the sterilisation chamber (90) and the desorption chamber (110).
