Abstract:
1. A system for aseptically filling a container with a beverage or food, comprising a preform feed unit comprising a metal mold for molding a preform from a synthetic resin, a container-producing unit for molding a container from the preform, a filling/sealing unit for filling the container with a beverage or food and sealing the container with a seal member, and a seal member-sterilizing unit for sterilizing said seal member prior to said sealing; wherein said preform is maintained in a high-temperature state where a minimum temperature is not lower than 60° C. on the whole surface of said preform from when said preform is molded from said synthetic resin by compression molding in said preform feed unit and is taken out from the metal mold for compression molding through up to just before it is molded into the container in said container-producing unit, said synthetic resin is a polyethylene terephthalate having a glass transition temperature of 77° C. to 78° C., and said preform has a temperature when it is taken out of not higher than 80° C. on the surface of the mouth portion of the preform.
