STERILIZATION DEVICE FOR CONTAINER

摘要

Provided is a sterilization device for a container which exhibits high sterilization performance while being low in cost. A heating medium is positioned in a sterilant passage so as to block the downstream end thereof in the direction in which the liquid sterilant is discharged. A ventilation passage is formed in the lateral surface of a tube body of a sterilant supply tube, on the upstream side in the direction in which the liquid sterilant is discharged in relation to the heating medium. A sterilant supply unit sterilizes the inner-peripheral surface of a container as a result of the sterilant vaporizing upon reaching the heating medium, leaking to the exterior via the ventilation passage formed in the lateral surface of the tube body, and adhering to the inner-peripheral surface of the container.

主权项

1. A sterilization device comprising:
a sterilant supply tube which has a sterilant passage inside the sterilant supply tube, through which a discharged sterilant in liquid form passes in a state in which the sterilant supply tube is inserted into a container as a sterilization object; a heating medium which heats and vaporizes the sterilant that passes through the sterilant passage; and a ventilation passage which allows the sterilant heated and vaporized by the heating medium to leak out of the sterilant supply tube.
