    Abstract: Shown and described are a method and a device for sterilisation during the filling of foodstuffs into packaging containers with a preheating zone, a sterilisation zone, a drying zone, a filling zone and a sealing zone, which form a sterile space and are arranged immediately adjacent to one another and are sealed at the top by a cover which accommodates the necessary supply elements and supply lines. In order to reliably prevent the penetration of microbes into the packaging units, open at the top, passing through the treatment zones, and into the sterile space formed by the treatment zones, essentially horizontal air guide elements having a plurality of openings are provided in the sterile space underneath the cover and that these are supplied with sterile air from above through the cover, so that underneath the air guide elements a laminar flow directed evenly downwards is formed.

    Abstract: Described and depicted is a method for filling packages that are open on one side, in particular cardboard composite packages, with free-flowing products, in particular foodstuffs, in a filling machine. In order to allow the heating, sterilisation and/or drying to be carried out at high throughputs more reliably and with less complexity in terms of the equipment and/or method, it is provided that preheating air and/or drying air and/or sterilising agent is introduced into the packages that are open on one side and that a volume of preheating air and/or drying air and/or sterilising agent, said volume corresponding to at least three times the volume of the package that is open on one side, is introduced into at least one, preferably at least substantially each, package that is open on one side.
