<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten time until starting work for filling a beverage, or reduce production interval time.SOLUTION: A sterilization method for a beverage supply system piping includes: sending hot water or heating steam to a beverage supply system piping 7 that sends a beverage simultaneously to plural filling nozzles 2a; computing an F value while detecting, every given period of time, temperatures of a given spot of the beverage supply system piping and of all filling nozzles, while causing the filling nozzles 2a to jet the hot water or heating steam; and ending the sterilization process when a minimum F value reaches a target value. Further, the F value is computed by using the following equation(refer to the published actual patent proposal), in which Tr=121.1 and Z=10 are defined. This facilitates the sterilization of the beverage supply system piping.</p> |
