A method for filling an aseptic pouch comprising the steps of: - providing a pouch, the pouch including a body having a plurality of panels that are coupled together to define a cavity, and, a spout providing ingress into the cavity, the spout having a plug sealingly engaged to the spout, thereby precluding access into the cavity; - cleaning the external surfaces of the pouch with a cleaning preparation; wherein the step of cleaning comprises the step of: - positioning the pouch on a rail having a first end and a second end; - translating the pouch along a rail from the first end to the second end; and - directing a cleaning preparation at the pouch between the first end and the second end; - directing the spout and the plug into an aseptic zone, the aseptic zone having a supply of sterilized gas having a positive flow within the aseptic zone; - removing the plug; - filling the pouch with a flowable material; - replacing the plug on the spout to seal the cavity; - removing the spout and the plug from the aseptic zone; and - coupling the plug to a cap, and the cap to the spout, whereupon removal of the cap removes the plug and provides access to the cavity; characterized in that, the method further comprising the steps of: - positioning the pouch on a rotary filler having a plug removing station after the step of cleaning the external surfaces and the step of translating the pouch to the second end, a filling station and a plug replacement station, the stations being angularly displaced along the rotary filler; - rotating the pouch within the rotary filler after the step of removing from the plug removing station to the filling station; and - rotating the pouch within the rotary filler after the step of filling from the filling station to the plug replacement station. - providing a pouch, the pouch including a body having a plurality of panels that are coupled together to define a cavity, and, a spout providing ingress into the cavity, the spout having a plug sealingly engaged to the spout, thereby precluding access into the cavity; - cleaning the external surfaces of the pouch with a cleaning preparation; wherein the step of cleaning comprises the step of: - positioning the pouch on a rail having a first end and a second end; - translating the pouch along a rail from the first end to the second end; and - directing a cleaning preparation at the pouch between the first end and the second end; - directing the spout and the plug into an aseptic zone, the aseptic zone having a supply of sterilized gas having a positive flow within the aseptic zone; - removing the plug; - filling the pouch with a flowable material; - replacing the plug on the spout to seal the cavity; - removing the spout and the plug from the aseptic zone; and - coupling the plug to a cap, and the cap to the spout, whereupon removal of the cap removes the plug and provides access to the cavity; characterized in that, the method further comprising the steps of: - positioning the pouch on a rotary filler having a plug removing station after the step of cleaning the external surfaces and the step of translating the pouch to the second end, a filling station and a plug replacement station, the stations being angularly displaced along the rotary filler; - rotating the pouch within the rotary filler after the step of removing from the plug removing station to the filling station; and - rotating the pouch within the rotary filler after the step of filling from the filling station to the plug replacement station. - positioning the pouch on a rail having a first end and a second end; - translating the pouch along a rail from the first end to the second end; and - directing a cleaning preparation at the pouch between the first end and the second end; - directing the spout and the plug into an aseptic zone, the aseptic zone having a supply of sterilized gas having a positive flow within the aseptic zone; - removing the plug; - filling the pouch with a flowable material; - replacing the plug on the spout to seal the cavity; - removing the spout and the plug from the aseptic zone; and - coupling the plug to a cap, and the cap to the spout, whereupon removal of the cap removes the plug and provides access to the cavity; - positioning the pouch on a rotary filler having a plug removing station after the step of cleaning the external surfaces and the step of translating the pouch to the second end, a filling station and a plug replacement station, the stations being angularly displaced along the rotary filler; - rotating the pouch within the rotary filler after the step of removing from the plug removing station to the filling station; and - rotating the pouch within the rotary filler after the step of filling from the filling station to the plug replacement station.
