PURPOSE:To save energy in operating a circulative processing device, which is suitable for sterilization of canned food etc., by incorporating a link-and-joint robot to serve accommodation and takeout of object to be sterilized into/from a buket, which is used to load the object in a treatment trough such as a sterilization caldron. CONSTITUTION:In case the existing invention is applied to a canned food sterilizing treatment device, an endless conveyor crane 2 for transport of bukets 1, which are to accommodate the object to be processed such as canned food in such a condition as placed in many pieces closely and to travel with them suspended circulatively, is installed in the rectangular arrangement if viewed on a plan. Along one of the straight running tracks for this crane 2, a bucket conveyor 3 is installed, which can stop a bucket 1 at least in the accommodating position A and takeout position B in order to accommodate and takeout the object right under said track portion, and adjacent to this conveyor 3, an object carry-in and convergent conveyor 6 and an object exhaust conveyor 7 are installed. An object accommodation and takeout robot 12 is installed between the divergent part 8 of the conveyor 6 and the loading part 9 of the conveyor 7. |
