Abstract:
1. A method for sterilising containers, comprising the steps of moving a treatment head into an interior of a container to be sterilised and emitting radiation from the treatment head into the interior of the container at least intermittently over a predefined time period (dT), moving the container relative to the treatment head in a longitudinal direction (L) of the container at least intermittently at a relative movement speed (v) over the predefined time period (dT), varying the relative movement speed (v) of the treatment head in the interior of the container over the predefined time period (dT) and controlling movement of the treatment head as a function of an internal profile of the container, wherein movement of the treatment head is controlled by a control device on the basis of data stored in a memory device, which data are characteristic of cross-sections of the container in the longitudinal direction (L) of the container, and controlling the movement of the treatment head as a function of an angle at which the internal wall of the container extends relative to the longitudinal direction (L) of the container.
