Apparatus for treating containers has a transport device which transports the containers at least in sections along a predetermined transport path, and a plurality of treatment devices which treat the containers at least at times during transport along the transport path, wherein the apparatus has a clean room which clean room is delimited from an environment by at least one wall, and furthermore at least one sealing device is provided for sealing off the clean room from its environment, wherein this sealing device has at least two elements and/or walls which can be moved with respect to one another wherein, the clean room is formed between a floor unit and a ceiling unit and at least the floor unit or the ceiling unit is formed as a load-bearing unit and support elements are arranged within the clean room for supporting the ceiling unit and/or the floor unit.

A container-treatment machine includes a frame, transport devices for conveying containers, and intermediate conveyors. Treatment stations, some of which are treatment modules, are arranged between the first and second transport-devices. The intermediate conveyors convey containers to corresponding ones of the treatment stations. The intermediate conveyors extend transversely between the transport devices. Some of the treatment modules are held on the frame so as to be removable from operating positions thereof.

Disclosed is an apparatus for expanding and filling plastic parisons to form plastic containers with a liquid medium, with at least one transforming station which has a hollow mould, inside which the plastic parisons can be expanded into plastic containers and can be simultaneously filled by application of a liquid medium, wherein the transforming station is arranged on a carrier and wherein the transforming station has a filling device which feeds the liquid medium to the plastic parisons under pressure, wherein the transforming station has a pressure chamber to which a gas can be applied, wherein for filling of the plastic parisons the filling device can be introduced into the pressure chamber and after the filling can be removed at least partially, and wherein a closing unit can be introduced into the pressure chamber, in order to close the expanded und filled plastic containers.

A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish defining an opening into the container, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion, the sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, and at least one substantially transversely-oriented pressure panel located in the lower portion. The pressure panel is movable between an outwardly-inclined position and an inwardly-inclined position to compensate for a change of pressure inside the container. The standing surface defines a standing plane, and the entire pressure panel is located between the standing plane and the upper portion of the container when the pressure panel is in the outwardly-inclined position.

A filler station for a packaging installation for packaging a substance in containers, the station having a filler spout having a spout body with a bottom end provided with an orifice fitted with a controlled delivery valve. The spout is provided with at least one suction channel extending in the bottom end of the spout body between the outside of the filler station and the inside of the spout body so as to open out inside the spout body above the orifice. An associated installation and method.

The present invention relates to a system for the disinfection of containers in a blowing and filling system of the containers with a product, in particular a system for the internal disinfection of the containers by means of ultraviolet-C radiation LED emitters.
