ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are used for emptying a container in a hygienic (preferably aseptic), for example, aseptic manner. In one embodiment, the device comprises a housing having a first aperture that opens to a first internal chamber and a second aperture that opens to a second internal chamber. The second internal chamber is generally hygienic and opens to a hygienic storage tank or the like at the second aperture. A sealing member is disposed about the first aperture for sealing the container to be emptied over the first aperture. A sterilizing apparatus is provided for rendering the first internal chamber generally hygienic when the container has been sealed over the first aperture. A chamber separating mechanism is utilized to selectively provide fluid communication between, the first and second internal chambers. A cutting member is operable to cut the container in the area of the first aperture to thereby allow the container to be emptied into the first internal chamber.
