The now open transport container 4 can be transported in the second clean room 8 for further use and the sterile items contained therein are easily removed from above.
Somit werden die Verpackungsmaterialien der Sterilverpackung 2, nämlich der Außenbeutel 3, welcher nun in den Endbereich 30 und den Hauptbereich 31 getrennt wurde, die entfernte Siegelfolie 5 sowie das entfernte Vlies 6 alle zur zentralen Abfallpresse 10 zugeführt. Dort werden die Verpackungsmaterialien gemeinsam zu einem Abfallpressling zusammengepackt und zusätzlich noch mit einer vom Folienspender 21 abgegebenen Folie umwickelt. Thus, the packaging materials of the sterile package 2, namely the outer bag 3, which has now been separated into the end region 30 and the main region 31, the removed sealing film 5 and the removed web 6 are all fed to the central waste press 10. There, the packaging materials are packed together to form a waste compact and additionally wrapped with a given by the film dispenser 21 foil.
In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist noch eine Rutsche 22 dargestellt, durch welche die entfernte Siegelfolie 5 sowie das entnommene Vlies 6 der zweiten In the figures 2 and 3, a chute 22 is still shown, through which the removed sealing film 5 and the removed web 6 of the second
Fördervorrichtung 20 zugeführt wird. Die zweite Fördervorrichtung 20 ist dabei in einem unteren Bereich der Vorrichtung 1 angeordnet, damit sie andere Einheiten der Vorrichtung 1 nicht stört, wodurch ein besonders kompakter Aufbau der Vorrichtung erreicht wird.  Conveyor 20 is supplied.
