Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method for dispensing fluid into containers includes a cleaning mechanism that brings the discharge nozzle of a dispenser into the travel path of a film web so that the end-face can make contact with the film web to remove from the end-face at least a portion of any fluid or reaction-products of the fluid that may be in adherence with the end-face. A film for removing such fluid or reaction-products from the end-face of the dispenser is also provided.
