Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In an aseptic filling apparatus, a CIP of the content filling station is performed after rotation of a wheel in the content filling station is stopped, a COP or SOP of the content filling station is performed while the wheel in the content filling station is rotating immediately after the CIP is completed, an SIP of the content filling station is performed with rotation of the wheel in the content filling station being stopped immediately after the COP or SOP is completed, and one or both of the COP and SOP of the other stations is performed in a predetermined order while wheels in the other stations are rotating in a period from the start of the CIP to the end of the SIP.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of decontaminating an aseptic filling apparatus, the aseptic filling apparatus comprising various kinds of stations including a content filling station arranged from an upstream side to a downstream side of a flow of a preform or container fed by rotation of wheels in a wheel train, and each of the various kinds of stations being covered by a chamber, wherein a CIP of the content filling station is performed after rotation of a wheel in the content filling station is stopped, a COP or SOP of the content filling station is performed while the wheel in the content filling station is rotating immediately after the CIP is completed, an SIP of the content filling station is performed with rotation of the wheel in the content filling station being stopped immediately after the COP or SOP is completed, and one or both of the COP and SOP of the other stations is performed in a predetermined order while wheels in the other stations are rotating in a period from the start of the CIP to the end of the SIP, and wherein the SOP of the content filling station and the SOP of the other stations are performed in parallel between the stations. 2. The method of decontaminating an aseptic filling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the SOP is performed by blasting of a sterilizer and blasting of aseptic water. 3. An aseptic filling apparatus, comprising various kinds of stations including a content filling station arranged from an upstream side to a downstream side of a flow of a preform or container fed by rotation of wheels in a wheel train, each of the various kinds of stations being covered by a chamber, wherein a CIP of the content filling station is performed after rotation of a wheel in the content filling station is stopped, a COP or SOP of the content filling station is performed while the wheel in the content filling station is rotating immediately after the CIP is completed, an SIP of the content filling station is performed with rotation of the wheel in the content filling station being stopped immediately after the COP or SOP is completed, and one or both of the COP and SOP of the other stations is performed in a predetermined order while wheels in the other stations are rotating in a period from the start of the CIP to the end of the SIP, and wherein the SOP of the content filling station and the SOP of the other stations are performed in parallel between the stations. 4. The aseptic filling apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the SOP is performed by blasting of a sterilizer and blasting of aseptic water.
