Claim:
1. A beverage filling method comprising: forming a bottle from a heated preform through a blow molding process; blowing hydrogen peroxide mist or gas to the bottle within a time in which heat applied to the preform remains for a sterilization process; filling the bottle with beverage as a filling process; and then sealing the bottle, wherein forming the bottle from the heated preform, the blowing the hydrogen peroxide mist or gas, the filling the bottle with the beverage and the sealing the bottle are performed while continuously travelling the bottle; wherein during the sterilization process: wherein an air-rinse process for air-rinsing, with aseptic air, is further performed on the bottle sterilized in the sterilization process between the sterilization process and the filling process, wherein the bottle blown with condensed mist of the hydrogen peroxide from the spray tube at the sterilization process reaches inside the air rinse process within 0.1 to 5.0 seconds, wherein a chamber for covering a portion from the sterilization process to the filling process is provided; wherein an atmosphere shutoff chamber is disposed between a chamber of an inspection process and the chamber of the sterilization process, wherein partition walls are disposed, respectively between the chamber of the inspection process and the atmosphere shutoff chamber and between the atmosphere shutoff chamber and the chamber of the sterilization process, wherein a second air exhaust, as air exhaust means, is coupled with the atmosphere shutoff chamber, and wherein an air exhaust means is coupled to a portion adjacent to the atmosphere shutoff chamber in the chamber which covers the sterilization process, this air exhaust means being connected to the second air exhaust, thereby the air with hydrogen peroxide mist or hydrogen peroxide gas is exhausted out of the chamber by the air exhaust means.
