PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten a downtime in a beverage filling work while increasing a washing/bactericidal effect of an aseptic filling device.SOLUTION: An aseptic filling device is configured by providing various stations including a content filling station along the flow of a preform or a container by rotation of each wheel in a wheel row, sequentially from the upstream to the downstream, and covering with a chamber. A cleaning method of the device includes: performing CIP(Cleaning in Place) (S1) for the content filling station after stopping the rotation of the wheel； increasing a temperature of cleaning fluid to a temperature required for performing SIP(Sterilizing in Place) (S2) following the CIP, from the beginning or the middle of the CIP； continuously performing SIP for the content filling station while stopping the rotation of the wheel, and performing sterilization and removal of the cleaning fluid by the SIP； and performing one or both of COP (Cleaning out of Place) and SOP(Sterilizing out of Place) (S3) for the content filling station in a prescribed order while rotating the wheel just after the SIP is finished.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】無菌充填装置の洗浄・殺菌効果を高めつつ、飲料の充填作業におけるダウンタイムを短縮する。【解決手段】ホイール列の各ホイールの回転によるプリフォーム又は容器の流れに沿って、その上流側から下流側へと内容物充填ステーションを含む各種ステーションを順に設けてチャンバーで覆った無菌充填装置を構成し、ホイールの回転を停止させたうえで内容物充填ステーションについてＣＩＰ（Ｓ１）を行い、このＣＩＰの初期から又は途中から洗浄液の温度をＣＩＰに続いて行うＳＩＰ（Ｓ２）に必要な温度へと高め、引き続きホイールの回転を停止させたままで内容物充填ステーションについてＳＩＰを行い、このＳＩＰによって殺菌と上記洗浄液の除去とを行い、このＳＩＰが終わった直後からホイールを回転させつつ、内容物充填ステーションについてＣＯＰ及びＳＯＰ（Ｓ３）の一方又は双方を所定の順序で行う。【選択図】図４
