Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of nut processing, and in particular to a nut sterilization device. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their requirements for food safety are getting higher and higher, and food needs to be sterilized before leaving the factory. As nuts are a popular food, the sanitary quality of nuts has also attracted people's attention.

[0003] In the related technology, the nut sterilization method currently available on the market mainly uses high-temperature baking. The operator puts the nuts into a baking oven and then uses high temperature to sterilize them. After a certain period of time, the operator takes out the nuts to complete the sterilization operation of the nuts.

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors believe that high temperature can easily destroy the nutritional components of nuts and may also affect the quality of nuts. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to ensure the quality of nuts, the present application provides a nut sterilization device.

[0006] The nut sterilization equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
