Zusammenfassung:Herein disclosed is an apparatus for continuously sterilizing and filling food and medicines containing solids. In this apparatus, a filler means (12) is disposed downstream of a back-pressure tank (11), and control means (13) is interposed between the back-pressure tank (11) and the filler means (12) for controlling the flow rate of the products, which is delivered from the former to the latter, to a value equal to or lower than the flow rate of the products which is delivered from the sterilizer(16) to the back-pressure tank (11). The control means (13) avoids a remarkable pressure loss which might otherwise be invited in the series passages of the apparatus. The outflow of air from the back pressure tank (11) to the filler means (12) is minimized so that the back pressure can be applied to the sterilizer(16) as stably as possible. At the same time, the sterilized product is continuously fed to the filler means (11) so that it can be packed simultaneously with its upstream sterilization.
