また、上記液体食品注入管路部74は、細円筒形に形成され、上記殺菌装置本体部72の上面部77を貫通して配設されている。
また、上記殺菌装置本体部72の上端部近傍には、上記殺菌装置本体部72の内部の空気を排出する空気排出用スリーブ部86が上記殺菌装置本体部72の径方向外方に突出して配設されている。
The liquid food injection conduit 74 is formed in a thin cylindrical shape and is disposed through the upper surface 77 of the sterilizer main body 72.
Further, in the vicinity of the upper end portion of the sterilizer main body 72, an air discharge sleeve 86 for discharging the air inside the sterilizer main body 72 protrudes radially outward of the sterilizer main body 72. It is installed.

図4は、図3の液体食品供給部73の拡大図である。
図4に示すように、上記貯留送出部75は、円形の底面部76と、上記底面部76の外周縁部に延設されると共に、上方に向かって次第に拡開して形成された立ち上がり部78とから形成され、上記立ち上がり部78の上端部に形成されたフランジ部79と上記殺菌装置本体部72の内壁上端部に設けられた段部80とが互いに係合することによって、上記殺菌装置本体部72の上端部内方に固定されている。
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the liquid food supply unit 73 of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the storage and delivery part 75 has a circular bottom part 76 and a rising part formed to extend to the outer peripheral edge of the bottom part 76 and gradually expand upward. 78, the flange portion 79 formed at the upper end portion of the rising portion 78 and the step portion 80 provided at the upper end portion of the inner wall of the sterilization device main body 72 are engaged with each other, whereby the sterilization device. It is fixed inside the upper end of the main body 72.

また、図4に示すように、上記貯留送出部75の底面部76には、厚さ方向に貫通する複数の送出孔部81が上記底面部76の周方向に沿って所定間隔寸法毎に設けられ、上記送出孔部81の上端部には、上端に向かって次第に拡開する漏斗状のテーパー部82が形成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of delivery hole portions 81 penetrating in the thickness direction are provided in the bottom surface portion 76 of the storage and delivery portion 75 at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of the bottom surface portion 76. In addition, a funnel-shaped tapered portion 82 is formed at the upper end portion of the delivery hole portion 81 so as to gradually expand toward the upper end.

また、図3に示すように、上記殺菌装置本体部72の下端部近傍には、上記殺菌装置本体部72の内部に高温の蒸気を送入する加熱蒸気送入部83が径方向外方に突出して形成されると共に、上記殺菌装置本体部72の下端部には、殺菌後の液体食品71を次工程に搬送する、殺菌後液体食品送出部84が配設されている。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, in the vicinity of the lower end portion of the sterilizer main body 72, a heating steam inlet 83 for feeding high temperature steam into the sterilizer main body 72 is provided radially outward. At the lower end of the sterilizing apparatus main body 72, a post-sterilized liquid food delivery unit 84 for conveying the sterilized liquid food 71 to the next process is disposed.

図3に示すように、上記液体食品供給部73において、上記液体食品注入管路部74から供給された液体食品71は、上記貯留送出部75内の空間85に所定量が貯留され、上記液体食品71の自重によって、上記送出孔部81、81..から、上記殺菌装置本体部72内に自由落下により送出される。   As shown in FIG. 3, in the liquid food supply unit 73, a predetermined amount of the liquid food 71 supplied from the liquid food injection conduit unit 74 is stored in a space 85 in the storage and delivery unit 75, and the liquid Due to the weight of the food 71, the delivery holes 81, 81. . Then, it is sent into the sterilizer main body 72 by free fall.

上記送出孔部81、81..から送出された液体食品71は、予め上記加熱蒸気送入部83から送入した高温の蒸気で満たされた上記殺菌装置本体部72内に落下する過程において、高温蒸気と接触することによって加熱殺菌され、殺菌後の液体食品71は殺菌後液体食品送出部84を介して、冷却、減圧工程等の次工程(図3には図示せず)に搬送される。   The delivery holes 81, 81. . The liquid food 71 delivered from the heat sterilizer is brought into contact with the high-temperature steam in the process of dropping into the sterilizer main body 72 filled with the high-temperature steam previously fed from the heated steam feed section 83, thereby being heat sterilized. Then, the sterilized liquid food 71 is conveyed to the next process (not shown in FIG. 3) such as a cooling and decompression process via the sterilized liquid food delivery unit 84.

直接加熱式殺菌装置は、間接加熱式殺菌装置と比較して、液体食品を約1 秒未満という極めて短時間で高温に加熱することができることから、液体食品の風味等を損なうことなく、確実に、且つ短時間で加熱殺菌処理が完了するという利点を有している。   Compared with indirect heating sterilizers, direct heating sterilizers can heat liquid foods to a high temperature in an extremely short time of less than about 1 second, ensuring that the flavor of liquid foods is not impaired. And, it has the advantage that the heat sterilization process is completed in a short time.

しかしながら、図4に示すように上記貯留送出部75の底面部76は平滑に形成されていることから、上記液体食品注入管路部74から供給された液体食品71は上記底面部76に対して垂直に衝突するため、液体食品71の流速が急激に減じられ、上記貯留送出部75の空間85内に貯留された液体食品71には、不均一な対流が発生する。
加えて、上記送出孔部81、81..のテーパー部82、82においては、更に流速が減じられるため、特に、液体食品71がパルプを含有する場合には、十分な対流が起こらず、結果的に上記テーパー部82、82において上記送出孔部81、81..を塞ぐようにパルプが沈殿してしまうことから、上記送出孔部81、81..への液体食品71のスムーズな導入が困難となり、殺菌装置70の稼動時間の経過と共に、上記送出孔部81、81..に目詰まりが発生する。
However, as shown in FIG. 4, since the bottom surface portion 76 of the storage and delivery portion 75 is formed smoothly, the liquid food 71 supplied from the liquid food injection pipe portion 74 is not in the bottom surface portion 76. Since the liquid food 71 collides vertically, the flow rate of the liquid food 71 is drastically reduced, and non-uniform convection occurs in the liquid food 71 stored in the space 85 of the storage and delivery unit 75.
In addition, the delivery holes 81, 81. . In the taper portions 82 and 82, the flow velocity is further reduced. Therefore, particularly when the liquid food 71 contains pulp, sufficient convection does not occur. As a result, the taper portions 82 and 82 have the delivery holes. Part 81, 81. . Since the pulp settles so as to block the feed hole portions 81, 81. . As a result, it becomes difficult to smoothly introduce the liquid food 71 into the sterilizer 70, and as the operation time of the sterilizer 70 elapses, the delivery holes 81, 81. . Clogging occurs.

これにより、液体食品71の殺菌装置本体部72への送出が阻害され、上記貯留送出部75内の空間85が上記液体食品71で満たされると、それ以上液体食品71の注入が行えない状態となり、加熱殺菌プラントの運転を停止して清掃作業が必要となる。また、清掃を行わずに放置した場合は、殺菌装置70の故障要因にもなり得る。
以上のように、図3に示す従来の殺菌装置10にあっては、現状連続稼働が可能な時間は10時間以内に留まっており、この時間を越えた場合は、都度分解清掃が必要となるため、液体食品71の加熱殺菌効率が低下すると共に、清掃等に要するメンテナンスコストが増大するという不具合を有していた。
As a result, the delivery of the liquid food 71 to the sterilization apparatus main body 72 is inhibited, and when the space 85 in the reservoir delivery section 75 is filled with the liquid food 71, the liquid food 71 cannot be injected any more. Then, the operation of the heat sterilization plant is stopped and cleaning work is required. Moreover, when it is left without cleaning, it may be a cause of failure of the sterilizer 70.
As described above, in the conventional sterilization apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 3, the current continuous operation time remains within 10 hours. When this time is exceeded, disassembly and cleaning are required each time. For this reason, the heat sterilization efficiency of the liquid food 71 is reduced, and the maintenance cost required for cleaning and the like is increased.

本発明の解決する課題は、パルプを含有する液体食品であっても、貯留送出部の目詰まりが発生し難く、長時間の連続運転が可能な液体食品の殺菌装置を提供することにある。   The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a liquid food sterilization apparatus that can prevent clogging of a storage and delivery section and can be operated continuously for a long time even for liquid food containing pulp.

以下、本実施例に係る殺菌装置10、及び図3に示す、従来の殺菌装置70を、液体食品として多量のパルプを含有するトマトジュースを採用した場合を例として、連続稼動した場合における、貯留送出部の送出孔部の目詰まりの発生有無の状況を実験した結果を示す。   Hereinafter, the sterilization apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment and the conventional sterilization apparatus 70 shown in FIG. 3 are stored in a case where the tomato juice containing a large amount of pulp is used as a liquid food as an example and continuously operated. The result of having experimented the condition of the generation | occurrence | production presence or absence of clogging of the delivery hole part of a delivery part is shown.

(1)トマトジュース(液体食品)の条件
トマトジュース(スラッジボリューム値:20、RI値5.0、pH値4.5)は、原料タンク内での初期温度を20℃に設定し、殺菌装置に導入する前に、予め加熱二重管等で予備加熱して80℃±5℃まで昇温する。
また、殺菌装置での加熱後の昇温温度は146.5℃±2℃となるように、あらかじめ殺菌装置本体部に送入する高温蒸気の温度、送入量等を調整する。
(1) Conditions of tomato juice (liquid food) Tomato juice (sludge volume value: 20, RI value 5.0, pH value 4.5) is set at an initial temperature in the raw material tank of 20 ° C. Prior to introduction into the preheating, it is preheated in advance with a heating double tube or the like and heated to 80 ° C. ± 5 ° C.
In addition, the temperature of the high-temperature steam fed into the sterilizer main body, the feed amount, etc. are adjusted in advance so that the temperature rise temperature after heating in the sterilizer is 146.5 ° C. ± 2 ° C.

(2)貯留送出部の形状
貯留送出部の形状は、図1及び図2に示す本実施例に係る貯留送出部16と同様の形状であり、送出孔部18は全7箇所に形成されている。
また、対比例としての従来形状の貯留送出部は、図3及び図4に示す貯留送出部75の形状と同様であり、送出孔部81は全7箇所に形成されている。
なお、貯留送出部の形状以外の構成については、本実施例の構成と従来例の構成との差異はない。
(2) Shape of the storage and delivery part The shape of the storage and delivery part is the same shape as the storage and delivery part 16 according to the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the delivery hole parts 18 are formed at all seven locations. Yes.
Further, the storage / delivery part having a conventional shape as a comparative example is the same as the shape of the storage / delivery part 75 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the delivery hole parts 81 are formed at all seven locations.
Note that there is no difference between the configuration of this embodiment and the configuration of the conventional example with respect to the configuration other than the shape of the storage and delivery unit.

(3)測定内容
殺菌装置を連続的に稼働させ、所定時間毎に、貯留送出部の送出孔部に発生する目詰まり状況を殺菌装置上端部に設けられた窓部から目視によって確認した。
確認結果を下表1に示す。
なお、表1項目中の「液面の高さ」とは、貯留送出部内の空間が液体食品で全て満たされた場合を100%とする。100%を超えて、液体食品供給部から液体食品供給するとは不可能であるため、100%となった時点において、殺菌装置の稼働を一端停止して清掃等を行う必要がある。
(3) Measurement content The sterilizer was operated continuously, and the clogging situation generated in the delivery hole portion of the storage and delivery unit was visually confirmed from a window provided at the upper end portion of the sterilizer every predetermined time.
The confirmation results are shown in Table 1 below.
In addition, “the height of the liquid level” in the item of Table 1 is 100% when the space in the storage and delivery part is completely filled with liquid food. Since it is impossible to supply the liquid food from the liquid food supply unit beyond 100%, it is necessary to stop the operation of the sterilizer once and perform cleaning or the like when it reaches 100%.

(4)実験結果の考察
上記表1の通り、本実施例に係る構成の殺菌装置の場合、20時間連続稼働後においても、目詰まりの発生は前7箇所中2箇所に留まり、液面高さの変化も実験開始から5%以内であり、稼動には何らの支障も発生しなかった。
従って、本実施例の構成によって、従来と比較して少なくとも2倍以上の連続稼働時間が確保できることが確認された。
なお、実施例の20時間稼動後及び比較例の10時間稼動後の状態は共に目詰まり発生の送出孔部の数は一致しているが、液面の高さは、実施例の構成の場合が30%であるのに対し、従来例の場合は75%に達している。
これは、目詰まりが発生していない送出孔部においても、パルプが蓄積した状態となっており、液体食品が流れ難くなっているためと考えられる。
(4) Consideration of Experimental Results As shown in Table 1 above, in the case of the sterilization apparatus having the configuration according to the present example, clogging occurred at two locations in the previous seven locations even after 20 hours of continuous operation, and the liquid level was high. The change was within 5% from the start of the experiment, and there was no problem in operation.
Therefore, it was confirmed that the continuous operation time can be secured at least twice as long as the conventional configuration by the configuration of this example.
In addition, although the number of clogged delivery holes is the same for both the state after 20 hours of operation and the state of operation for 10 hours of the comparative example, the height of the liquid level is the case of the configuration of the example. Is 30%, whereas in the case of the conventional example, it reaches 75%.
This is considered to be because the pulp is accumulated in the delivery hole portion where no clogging occurs, and the liquid food is difficult to flow.

実験において使用したトマトジュースの他、パルプを含む液体食品に対して本発明は極めて好適であるが、特にパルプの含有量がSV(スラッジボリューム)値10〜35、特に15〜25の範囲の間である場合が最も好適である。
なお、上記スラッジボリューム値とは、液体10mlを長さ105mmの遠心沈殿管内に封入し、回転半径14.5cm、回転数3000回/分、時間10分の条件で遠心分離した際に、液体全体に対する沈殿物の割合を示す値である。
In addition to the tomato juice used in the experiment, the present invention is very suitable for liquid foods containing pulp, but the pulp content is particularly in the range of SV (sludge volume) value of 10 to 35, particularly 15 to 25. The case is most preferable.
The above sludge volume value means that 10 ml of liquid is sealed in a 105 mm long centrifugal sedimentation tube and centrifuged at a rotational radius of 14.5 cm, a rotational speed of 3000 times / minute, and a time of 10 minutes. It is a value which shows the ratio of the precipitate with respect to.

本発明は高温の蒸気で満たされた空間に、液体食品を注入することにより、上記液体食品の殺菌を行う、液体食品の殺菌装置であって、特にパルプを含有する液体食品の加熱殺菌を行う殺菌装置に適用可能である。   The present invention is a liquid food sterilization apparatus that sterilizes the liquid food by injecting the liquid food into a space filled with high-temperature steam, and particularly heat sterilizes the liquid food containing pulp.
