A device (1) for sterilizing containers (10) with a transport device (2), which the containers to be sterilized (10) along a predetermined transport path (P), with at least one Sterilsationseinrichtung (4, 6a, 6b), which the containers (10) loaded with charge carriers during their transport for their sterilization, said sterilization device (4, 6a, 6b) having a generating means (42) for generating charge carriers, and having a shielding device (20) for shielding emerging radiation, which at least partially surrounds the transport path (P) of the containers. According to the invention, the shielding device (20) has a first wall (22), which is arranged laterally next to the transport path of the containers (10) and a second wall (24), which is arranged below the transport path of the containers (10), wherein the second Wall (24) opposite the transport path (P) of the containers (10) is movable. |
