Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aseptic food processing technology, and in particular to a tubular beverage sterilizer. Background Technology

[0002] A sterilizer is an instrument that can kill or remove all microorganisms on a transmission medium, including bacterial spores and non-pathogenic microorganisms. There are usually three methods of sterilization: moist heat sterilization, dry heat sterilization, and chemical sterilization.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN221749603U discloses a novel tubular sterilizer, including a feeding hopper and a storage hopper. A feed hopper is fixedly installed at the top of the feeding hopper, and a sealing cap is threadedly connected to the top of the feed hopper. A tubular pipe is fixedly installed between the feeding hopper and the storage hopper. Several heating coils are fixedly installed on the surface of the tubular pipe. A pressure relief pipe is fixedly installed at the top of one side of the tubular pipe, and a pressure relief component is installed inside the pressure relief pipe. A cooling component is installed on the front of the storage hopper, and a discharge trough is opened at the bottom of one side of the storage hopper. The beneficial effect of this invention is that the high pressure generated inside the sterilizer causes the pressure relief piston to slide upwards along the inner wall of the sliding hole. When the pressure relief piston partially slides out of the pressure relief pipe, it is blocked and limited by several limiting plates. At this time, the pressure is discharged through the gap between the pressure relief piston and the pressure relief pipe, thereby preventing leakage of the tubular sterilizer due to the high temperature and high pressure inside.
