Abstract

See full text

A container-filling machine includes a rotor, a machine rack that doesn't move with the rotor, filling positions formed on the rotor, rinsing-cap elements used during CIP cleaning, each associated with a filling position, and a housing that isolates filling positions during aseptic filling. Each rinsing-cap element includes a rinsing cap at one end and a connection at the other. An outflow channel extends between the ends. The rinsing-cap element moves from a first position, in which it is outside a space occupied by a container being filling, and a second position, in which it lies sealed against a filling element. In the second position, the rinsing-cap element and the outflow channel connect to a fixed discharge on the machine rack. Each rinsing cap element moves between the first and second position by swiveling a swiveling element about an axis thereof between the two positions.
