COOLING APPARATUS FOR FOOD

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain an apparatus for cooling a food by scattering snow-like dry ice powder to a container containing a food and improved to enable sure detection of the number of containers introduced into the apparatus. CONSTITUTION:The apparatus is provided with a case 1V having oppositely opened inlet port 1A and outlet port 1B and a mechanism placed above the case to produce snow-like ice powder, a 1st transfer path 11 placed at the side of the inlet port 1A and a 2nd transfer path 12 extending from the inlet port 1A toward the outlet port 1B. A remote sensor 2 for detecting a container W is placed near the inlet port 1A, the transfer speed of the 2nd transfer path 12 is made to be faster than that of the 1st transfer path 11 and the case 1V is provided with an exhaustion means to keep the inside of the case to a negative pressure.
