APPARATUS FOR STERILISATION OF PREFORM OR CONTAINERS IN TERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL AND METHOD OF EVACUATION OF PREFORM OR CONTAINERS FROM A STERILISATION ROOM
A method for evacuating parisons (100) made of a thermoplastic material from a sterilization chamber (2) wherein they are subjected to sterilization with a chemical agent, comprising the steps of: - conveying the parisons (100) or containers to be evacuated towards a storage chamber (3) that is closed and isolated from an external environment (200); - interrupting the communication between the sterilization chamber (2) and the storage chamber (3) when the parisons (100) reach or exceed a pre-established level; - isolating the sterilization chamber (2) from the storage chamber (3); - extracting the chemical agent from the storage chamber (3); - discarding the parisons (100) from the storage chamber (3) into the external environment (200).
