Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] During slaughter, butchering, and subsequent processing, beef is highly susceptible to contamination by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. The presence of these pathogens not only shortens the shelf life of beef but also poses a serious threat to consumer health. Therefore, effective disinfection at every stage of beef processing is a crucial step in ensuring food safety.

[0003] However, current beef processing sterilization cabinets have limited functionality, generally employing a single sterilization method, resulting in incomplete sterilization. For example, Chinese patent CN213848527U discloses a steam sterilization device for beef food processing, which rapidly heats raw water into steam using a spiral heating rod, allowing the beef to come into full contact with the steam and using the high temperature of the steam to kill microorganisms. However, raw beef often has blood, grease, tissue debris, and other organic matter adhering to its surface, forming a heat-insulating layer. Simply using high-temperature sterilization would prolong the deep sterilization time of the beef, increasing damage to the meat quality. Utility Model Content
