Abstract: An apparatus for treating containers, includes a transport unit that transports the containers through a clean room and a plurality of treatment elements arranged within the clean room. The clean room is separated by a plurality of walls against an environment. The treatment elements are movable, for example, rotatable in relation to a predefined axis and movable in the direction of this axis, in order to attach closure caps onto the containers. Each of the treatment elements is arranged on a carrier that extends through a wall of the clean room, and each has a sealing unit in order to seal at least one movement of the carrier. The sealing unit includes a receptacle for receiving a liquid separating medium and a wall element movably arranged within the separating medium. At least one sealing unit has an inlet via which a cleaning medium can be supplied to the sealing unit.

Abstract: For closing bottles with sterile caps, the caps are placed in a non-sterile environment in a vertical arrangement and are supplied vertically to a first sterile area. The interior of the caps is arranged to be accessible horizontally. The caps are sterilized in the first sterile area and transferred to a second sterile area where the caps are placed onto bottles. Subsequently, the bottle is closed with the cap. The machine for sterile closing of bottles with caps has a sterilization device with an individualization device for picking up caps and a vertical transport path feeding the caps to the sterilization chamber. A placing device receives the caps from the sterilization device and places the caps onto bottles. A closing device closes the bottles with the cap placed thereon. The sterilization device, the placing device, and the closing device operate as synchronized modules of a linear machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a capping machine comprising a protected area from impurities, an unprotected area divided from the protected area by a parting wall, and an operating unit. The operating unit includes a container support element arranged in the protected area, an operating head arranged in the protected area and configured to apply one capsule on the relative container, a motor assembly arranged in the unprotected area and configured to drive motion of the operating head, a torque control head between the motor assembly and the operating head, and an annular bellows element coaxial with the vertical axis and within the protected area and one opposite axial end crossed in a sealed manner by an output shaft of the torque control head. The torque control head is arranged above the parting wall in the unprotected area and the output shaft crosses said opening and the entire bellows element.
