Abstract: An aseptic apparatus for filling and closing an aluminium receptacle. The aseptic apparatus may include a filling unit, which includes a first chamber, and at least one transfer star-wheel downstream the filling unit. The aseptic apparatus may also include a closures placing station arranged on a first zone of the transfer star-wheel that is located beside the filling unit. The closures placing station may be configured to place a concave closure onto a mouth of each receptacle. The aseptic apparatus may also include a closing unit arranged downstream from the transfer star-wheel. The closing unit may include a second chamber housing a closing machine that is configured to apply each concave closure around a neck of the corresponding receptacle. The first chamber may be at a first pressure and the second chamber may be at a second pressure that is lower than the first pressure.
