<p>A roller conveyor (6) for transporting a material to be sterilized is disposed. A heating chamber (3) has doors (8b, 8c) capable of being opened to permit the passage of the material to be sterilized which is transported by the roller conveyor (6). The heating chamber (3) is sealed when the doors (8b, 8c) are closed. Compressed air is introduced into the heating chamber (3) by an air compressor (11) and a microwave is introduced into the heating chamber (3) by a microwave transmitter (15). While a high pressure is kept inside the heating chamber (3), the microwave is applied to the material to be sterilized inside the heating chamber (3). Even then the temperature of the material to be sterilized rises and the pressure also rises due to the irradiation of the microwave, expansion, deformation and breakage of the container can be prevented.</p> |
