Abstract

Eine Vorrichtung zum Sterilisieren von Behältnissen (10) mit einer Ladungsträgererzeugungseinrichtung (2), welche Ladungsträger erzeugt, mit einer Beschleunigungseinrichtung (4), welche die Ladungsträger in einer vorgegebenen Richtung (Z) innerhalb eines Gehäuses (6) beschleunigt und mit einem Austrittsfenster (12) durch welches die Ladungsträger aus dem Gehäuse (6) austreten, wobei die die Vorrichtung eine Sensoreinheit (20) aufweist, welche wenigstens einen Messwert erfasst, der für die aus dem Austrittsfenster (12) austretenden Ladungsträger charakteristisch ist. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Sensoreinheit (20) eine erste Sensoreinrichtung (22) auf, welche bezüglich des Austrittsfensters (12) derart angeordnet ist, dass sie Ladungsträger erfasst, welche in einer ersten vorgegebenen Richtung (Z) von dem Austrittsfenster (12) zu der ersten Sensoreinrichtung (22) gelangen sowie eine zweite Sensoreinrichtung (24), welche bezüglich des Austrittsfensters (12) derart angeordnet ist, dass sie Ladungsträger erfasst, welche in einer zweiten vorgegebenen Richtung (X) von dem Austrittsfenster (12) zu der zweiten Sensoreinrichtung (24) gelangen, wobei die Sensoreinrichtungen (22, 24) unabhängig voneinander jeweils Messwerte (M1, M2) erfassen, die für die aus dem Austrittsfenster (12) austretenden Ladungsträger charakteristisch sind.

Figure imgaf001
A device for sterilizing containers (10) with a charge carrier generating device (2) which generates charge carriers, with an acceleration device (4) which accelerates the charge carriers in a predetermined direction (Z) within a housing (6) and with an exit window (12 ) through which the charge carriers emerge from the housing (6), wherein the device has a sensor unit (20) which detects at least one measured value that is characteristic of the charge carriers leaving the exit window (12). According to the invention, the sensor unit (20) has a first sensor device (22) which is arranged with respect to the exit window (12) such that it detects charge carriers which in a first predetermined direction (Z) from the exit window (12) to the first sensor device (22) and a second sensor device (24) which is arranged relative to the exit window (12) such that it detects charge carriers which in a second predetermined direction (X) from the exit window (12) to the second sensor device (24) The sensor devices (22, 24) independently of one another detect measured values (M1, M2) that are characteristic of the charge carriers emerging from the exit window (12).
