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: A closing mechanism for a capping machine for closing bottles via crown caps or similar closures. The closing mechanism is disposed over a bottle support and, in a vertical axis, can be lowered out of a starting position and returned thereto. A deformation member is provided for placing a closure upon the mouth of the bottle and for subsequently fixing the closure thereon via deformation of the closure while simultaneously pressing the closure against the mouth. A hold-down mechanism extends centrally through the deformation member and is spring-loaded via at least one spring. The hold-down mechanism is displaceable by a prescribed stroke in the vertical direction relative to a closure part that cooperates with the spring. For a CIP cleaning, openings are provided in the region of the hold-down surface for supplying and withdrawing a cleaning or rinsing fluid. At least one of these openings is connected via a channel that extends through the hold-down mechanism to a connector that is provided in the region of that end of the hold-down mechanism remote from the hold-down surface thereof.
