PURPOSE:To obtain the sterilized foodstuffs having high quality free from the excessive drying of the foodstuffs in discharge and the dew condensation on the surface of the foodstuffs by allowing a blower and a low temperature heat exchanger to communicate to a sterilizing cooker and allowing a steam generating mechanism to communicate to the sterilizing cooker through a feeding pipe. CONSTITUTION:A blower 9 communicates to a low temperature heat exchanger 12 through a feeding pipe 10, and an opening/closing valve 11 is installed in the midst of the feeding the feeding pipe 10. Further, the low temperature heat exchanger 12 communicates to a sterilizing cooker through a hot temperature heat exchanger 4 (feeding route by a feeding pipe 13) and directly (feeding route by a feeding pipe 14), and a heated air feeding system in bypass system is formed. Therefore, the dew condensation of steam in the route of the high temperature heat exchanger - feeding pipe - sterilizing cooker is prevented, and therefore, even in the case where the sterilized foodstuffs, etc., are discharged from the sterilizing cooker by the heated air, the excessive drying of the foodstuffs is prevented. |
