    摘要: A paperboard container filling machine (10) comprising an aseptic chamber (30, 40), having: an upper air distribution chamber (35, 45); a lower processing chamber (36, 46) housing processing equipment (32, 42, 49) configured for interacting with paperboard containers passing through the processing chamber; a throughflow plate (37, 47) separating the distribution chamber (9) and the processing chamber (36, 46); and a paperboard container transport sub-system (12) configured for transporting the paperboard containers through the processing chamber along a container transport path (14) from an inlet opening (31, 41) to an outlet opening (33, 43) of the processing chamber. The throughflow plate has a predefined thickness (T) and comprises a plurality of slits (38, 48) configured for directing the air from the air distribution chamber to the processing chamber, the slits having a predefined length (L), a predefined width (W) and a predefined length/width ratio (L/W), wherein said thickness is at least 1.5 times said predefined width, and wherein said predefined length/width ratio is larger than any one of: 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 20. A related method is also described.
