  • Method for sterilizing heat-tolerating containers under clean-room conditions
    Patent number: 5064614
    Abstract: The containers which are to be sterilized (glass bottles) (1) are continuously moved into and out of a radiant oven via laminar-flow units and then cooled in a cooling zone by HOSCH-filtered air. A part of the HOSCH-filtered cooling air is here branched off and passed through the radiant oven in a low-turbulence counterflow. At the entry of the bottles into the radiant oven, this counterflow is extracted by means of a fumes/exit air fan (11). The required clean-room conditions are maintained in the radiant oven by a positive pressure P.sub.2 as compared with atmospheric pressure P.sub.AT and a thus resulting counterflow of a means flow velocity of <0.2 m/second is maintained. The positive pressure P.sub.2 is here measured in the radiant oven and compared with the set value, and the exit fan (11) air for the HOSCH-filtered cooling air on the exit side is reregulated in such a way that the deviation .DELTA.p from the set value is minimized.
