CLEANING AND STERILIZATION METHOD OF CARBONIC ACID GAS LINE OF ASEPTIC FILLING MACHINE AND ASEPTIC FILLING MACHINE

To perform CIP and SIP of a counter path supplying carbonic acid gas to a filling nozzle and a snifting path discharging the carbonic acid gas in a short time, improve a working efficiency of an aseptic filling machine and manufacture a product effectively in the aseptic filling machine of beverage including the carbonic acid gas.SOLUTION: A circulation path circulating cleaning liquid into either a counter path or a snifting path is formed, CIP (Cleaning in place) circulating the cleaning liquid into a circulation path is performed, a temperature of the cleaning liquid is arranged to be that of being required for SIP (Sterilization in place) from the beginning or middle of CIP and the cleaning liquid arranged at the temperature required for the SIP is circulated in the circulation path to perform CIP or SIP of at least either the counter path or the snifting path simultaneously or continuously.SELECTED...
