Abstract: An apparatus for disinfecting containers comprises a disinfection chamber 12 surrounding a required section of a container transport path, partition means for dividing the interior of the disinfection chamber 12 into a preheating zone 35, an exposure zone 36 and a drying zone 37 as arranged downstream from an upstream side of the transport path, antiseptic supply means for supplying hydrogen peroxide gas or mist to the exposure zone 36, and means for supplying hot air to the preheating zone 35 and the drying zone 37.

Abstract: The hydrogen peroxide gas supplying apparatus to be sterilized by the method of the invention comprises a hydrogen peroxide gas transport air pipe extending from an air source to the location of the article to be sterilized by way of a closed gasifying tank having a heater incorporated therein, and a microorganism removing filter provided on the air pipe and positioned upstream from the gasifying tank. The apparatus is sterilized by supplying an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide to the gasifying tank while supply of air from the air source to the air pipe is discontinued so that the solution is gasified by being heated with the heater.

Abstract: An apparatus for supplying a liquid under a constant pressure comprising a supply tank disposed at a higher lever than articles, i.e.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining the rate of discharge from a nozzle for spraying an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide comprises a pressure sensor for detecting the internal pressure of a pipe for supplying the solution to the nozzle under elevated pressure, and means for determining the rate of discharge from the pressure detected by the pressure sensor and the predetermined relationship of the discharge rate of the nozzle with the internal pressure of the pipe.
