Abstract

To give a twin-chamber assembly, where each chamber is filled with a different component material, two bags (1,2) are filled separately with the two components and are sterilized. After filling and sterilizing, the bags are linked together so that the contents of one bag can be transferred to the other for the materials to be mixed together. After filling, the bags are closed by a peel seam which can be removed for the ends of the bags to be welded together.
