Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and more specifically, to a sterilization device for processing kitchen condiments. Background Technology

[0002] In the condiment production workshop of food processing enterprises, in order to ensure product quality and food safety, condiments need to be sterilized at high temperature. Existing kitchen condiment processing sterilization devices generally adopt high temperature steam sterilization. During the sterilization process, high temperature steam will generate a large pressure inside the container. If this pressure is not released in time, it will not only affect the sterilization effect, but may also bring safety hazards.

[0003] In practical applications of condiment production, operators need to frequently monitor the pressure inside the container and manually operate valves to control pressure release. This not only increases the labor intensity of workers but also carries the risk of sudden pressure release due to improper operation. Furthermore, untimely pressure release may affect product quality and cause batch instability. In addition, manual operation in high-temperature and high-pressure environments poses certain safety risks. These problems seriously restrict the automation and standardization process of condiment production. Utility Model Content

The steam generator 4 is equipped with temperature sensors, pressure monitoring devices, etc., which can automatically control parameters such as water level, temperature, and pressure. Steam is supplied to the sterilization tank 3 through the connecting pipe 5. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam generator 4 is then transported to the sterilization tank 3 through the connecting pipe 5 for sterilization treatment.
