Abstract: A treatment apparatus for treating closures for containers. The treatment apparatus includes a box-like body and a treating chamber inside the box-like body. The treating chamber configured for treating the closures. The treatment apparatus further includes a dispensing pipe located inside the treating chamber and configured to dispense a sterilizing substance and a supplying circuit configured to supplying the sterilizing substance. The supplying circuit including a feeding line, a main line, and a secondary line. Both the main line and the secondary line branching-off from the feeding line and the main line emerging into the dispensing pipe and the secondary line emerging inside the box-like body. The treatment apparatus further includes one or more valves operatively active on the supplying circuit to establish a selective fluid communication between the feeding line and the main line or between the feeding line and the secondary line.

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.
