A plant for the cold aseptic bottling of a liquid in bottles with a
conveyor line on which bottles are moved by at least one bottle handling
machine in a sterile space which is separated by a housing from at least
one non-sterile space, whereby the housing is formed by at least one
circulating part and one stationary part, and whereby at the transition
between these parts, a siphon seal is provided which makes possible the
relative motion of the parts, which siphon seal comprises at least one
annular duct that concentrically surrounds an axis of the circulating
part to hold a sealing or barrier fluid on a ring-shaped wall element on
the other part of the housing that extends into the barrier fluid located
there, with at least one inlet for the feeding of the barrier fluid into
the at least one annular duct and with at least one outlet for the
discharge of the barrier fluid out of the annular duct, wherein the at
least one outlet is realized in the form of an overflow that sets the
level of the barrier fluid, and that the at least one inlet is connected
with a reservoir, from which barrier fluid is fed continuously to at
least one annular duct. Further, a plant for cold aseptic bottling, where
there are a plurality of siphon seals on different levels, each at
transitions between a circulating or rotating part of the housing and a
stationary part of the housing.
