METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FLUSHING A CONTAINER WITH AN INERT GAS

A process to reduce oxygen in the head space of containers (17) includes introducing an inert gas into the container head space. This may be accomplished during a capping process. The process may further include flushing the container with an inert gas. The flushing step (206) may be performed while...

Summary:A process to reduce oxygen in the head space of containers (17) includes introducing an inert gas into the container head space. This may be accomplished during a capping process. The process may further include flushing the container with an inert gas. The flushing step (206) may be performed while the container is empty or prior to being completely filled (208). La présente invention concerne un procédé pour réduire l'oxygène dans l'espace de tête de récipients (17) comprenant l'introduction d'un gaz inerte dans l'espace de tête du récipient. Cela peut être réalisé pendant un processus de capsulage. Le processus peut en outre comprendre le rinçage du récipient avec un gaz inerte. L'étape de rinçage (206) peut être réalisée pendant que le récipient est vide ou avant qu'il ne soit entièrement rempli (208).
