<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electron beam sterilizing device in which a cap is subjected to electron beam irradiation of a predetermined time during conveying, thereby the cap is surely sterilized, and further the cap is not exposed to the problem such as overheating by the electron beam irradiation. <P>SOLUTION: The electron beam sterilizing device 1 sterilizing caps C sealing and lidding the mouths of containers B after filling by the electron beam irradiation includes an electron beam irradiation unit for irradiating a predetermined electron beam irradiation area with the electron beam, a cap conveying star wheel 2 conveying the caps C by fitting the same into pockets 2p arranged at the outer periphery of the star wheel by the equal interval and rotating the star wheel around a horizontal axis 21, and cap guides 11, 12 guiding the caps C conveyed by the cap conveying star wheel 2 by the side face side 12 and the outer periphery side 11 of the cap conveying star wheel 2, the caps C are sterilized by the electron beam by making the lower part of the cap conveying star wheel 2 the electron beam irradiation area R. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
