ことができる。At this time, if the packaging of the work 45 is broken, the suction pad 12 may directly come into contact with the food. However, since the adsorption pad 12 contains an antibacterial material, it is possible to prevent bacteria and the like from propagating. In addition, even if a heating and washing process is included for sterilization,
Since the suction pad 12 is made of a heat-resistant material, there is no concern that the suction pad 12 will be deformed. In addition, a cleaning medium such as hot water or steam can be supplied from a cleaning medium supply source (not shown) through the tube 44 between the transportation steps to clean the adsorption pad 12. At this time, it is desirable that the hot water is passed through a filter containing an ion exchange resin or the like to remove not only dust and the like but also metal ions such as calcium. In this case, the cleaning medium is supplied from the passage 30 to the lead-out holes 32a, 32b, 32c, and the lead-out holes 32a, 32 of the suction pad 12 are provided.
The portions facing b and 32c are bent by the pressure of the cleaning medium, and the cleaning medium is ejected from the gap created thereby. The cleaning medium ejected from the outlet 32a cleans the tip portion 26 and the hole 20 and then the inside of the skirt portion 16, and the cleaning liquid ejected from the outlet 32c cleans the step 24 and the upper surface 19, The outside of the skirt portion 16 is washed. The cleaning medium ejected from the lead-out hole 32b cleans the tip portion 26 and the hole portion 20 and flows out separately from the groove portion 21 defined in the hole portion 20 in the vertical direction, and is ejected from the lead-out holes 32a and 32c, respectively. Combine with the cleaning medium,
The inside and outside of the skirt portion 16 are washed. Therefore, the cleaning of the connecting portion between the adapter 14 and the suction pad 12 can be reliably performed without removing the suction pad 12. If the suction pad 12 has a shape with few irregularities, even if dust or the like is attached, the suction pad 12 can be easily washed away by the above-mentioned washing, and the suction pad 12 can be kept clean.
