Technical Field

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

[0002] In the food production and processing process, sterilization is of paramount importance, as it directly affects the safety and shelf life of food. Traditional food sterilization equipment has many problems, causing considerable trouble for food production enterprises. Although some high-temperature sterilization equipment can effectively kill microorganisms, excessively high temperatures and excessively long sterilization times can seriously damage the nutritional components, taste, and color of food.

One-way valves are installed inside the gas supply pipe 105, the inlet pipe 402, and the outlet pipe 403 to prevent the gas in the sterilization chamber from flowing back.

[0031] In use, food is placed in the loading frame 110 and moved to the interior of the sterilizer 101 via the slide rail 106. The sterilizer 101 is then closed with the lid 103. The ozone generator 4 generates ozone, which is delivered into the sterilizer 101 through the air inlet pipe 402 and then diffused into the interior of the sterilizer 101 through the diffusion channel 104 to sterilize the food. After the process is complete, the ozone is recovered into the main body 401 through the air outlet pipe 403, while air is injected through the air supply pipe 105 to gradually reduce the ozone concentration and ensure the safety of the operator. Once the ozone concentration in the sterilizer 101 has dropped to a safe level, the door is opened and the sterilized food is removed.
