Abstract
In a system for manufacturing containers by blow-molding or drawing/blow molding of previously heated preforms, sterile containers (110) are obtained by wetting (45) the preforms (3) using an appropriated heat-activated sterilizing product by activating the product by heating means (100) which also provide a suitable heating profile to the preforms to prepare them for blowing.
