Apparatus for molding and filling a container having a container body
defining an opening in communication with an interior chamber for
receiving a substance therein, and a container closure including stopper
receivable within the opening for sealing the opening and substance
received in the container. A mold includes within the aseptic chamber
plural mold cavities shaped to form the container closure and container
body, and substantially sterile surfaces extending about and contiguous
to the peripheries of the mold cavities. An assembly device including
end-of-arm tooling having an engaging portion engageable with each of the
container body and container closure is movable relative to the mold to
engage and de-mold the substantially sterile container closure and
container bodies from the mold cavities. Flexible barriers are coupled to
the mold and the tool to substantially prevent the passage of
contaminants from the molding machine and tool therethrough.
