<p>A Tunnel (A) including a conditioning air unit for sterilizing food products in containers or vessels of the heat-sealed type. The conditioning inlets fo r introduction of washing liquids with a corresponding discharge outlet. Preferably, the magnetrons are covered to protect each magnetron from liquid s. In preferred embodiments, the conditioning tunnel includes temperature senso rs for measuring the temperature of products within the tunnel. Moreover, preferably the conveyor is adjustable to move forward and rearward, and the magnetrons are adjustable to provide a controllably moveable magnetic field. A controller is connected to the temperature sensors, conveyor and magnetrons to cause the conveyor to move products forward or rearward, or cause the magnetrons to move the magnetic field relative to the food products to more thoroughly and evenly cook the food products.</p> |
