PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent condensed water of steam from falling down to an object to be sterilized on a lower stage during a sterilization step to prevent poor drying in a subsequent drying step in a steam sterilization apparatus.SOLUTION: A plurality stages of shelf materials 13 each on which an object to be sterilized is placed are vertically installed in a sterilization tank 2. A water receiving plate 14 is installed under each stage, other than the lowermost stage, of the shelf material 13. The water receiving plate 14 is installed so as to be inclined downward toward the outside in the width direction of the shelf material 13 to allow condensed water received on its top surface to flow down to both sides in the width direction. A drain receiver 23 is installed on each side wall 22 in the sterilization tank 2, corresponding to each water receiving plate 14. The drain receiver 23 receives the condensed water falling down from an outer end in the width direction of the water receiving plate 14 to prevent the condensed water from falling down to a lower stage of shelf material 13 and an object to be sterilized placed thereon.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
