TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a continuous sterilization apparatus and method for meat products,

The present invention relates to a continuous sterilization apparatus and method for meat products, and more particularly, to a continuous sterilization apparatus for meat products, which can sterilize various foodstuffs including meat products in a short period of time, And methods.

Generally, in order to manufacture and sell foods, sterilization treatment is required before the packaging process through the process of processing food, and there is a possibility that the food is contaminated with harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli after packaging the processed food Therefore, sterilization treatment is essential.

In order to achieve this, conventionally, only the upper part of the conveyor is irradiated with ultraviolet light to sterilize only the bacteria on the upper surface of the product, and the product after the packaging is treated with hot water.

However, this conventional technique has a structure that irradiates ultraviolet rays only at the upper end of the conveyor, so that the lower end portion of the product to which the conveyor belt touches is not sterilized.

In addition, the method of treating hot water after packaging is a hot water treatment facility, which lowers the productivity, causes excessive fuel cost, sterilizes microorganisms that are beneficial to the human body, and destroys the unique nutrients contained in the food.

In addition, since the flavor, taste, or texture of the processed food is lost due to the method of processing the hot water after packaging, there is a problem that the versatility is low because it is inevitably used in a limited manner depending on the type of food.

In view of the above, the "high-efficiency conveyor type sterilizing apparatus" (hereinafter referred to as "prior art") of the registered patent No. 10-1217838 can be cited.

Prior art is to sterilize pouch packs, beverage containers, and various foods using ultraviolet rays or infrared rays, and irradiate ultraviolet rays or infrared rays to the upper and lower surfaces of the objects to be sterilized.

However, in the prior art, when a plurality of sterilizing objects are arranged along a conveyor and are transported in one direction, irradiation of ultraviolet rays or infrared rays can not be uniformly performed, and uniform sterilization results can not be obtained.

Therefore, development of an apparatus and a method for achieving a uniform sterilization effect of a plurality of objects to be sterilized along the transporting direction is urgently required.

Claims (9)

A conveyor for conveying the meat product in one direction;
A micro processing unit disposed on one side of the conveyor and including a magnetron for applying a microwave to the meat product to be transferred in one direction; And
And a heating unit disposed on one side of the conveyor to apply hot air to the meat product to which the microwave is applied,
Wherein the micro processing unit and the heating processing unit are arranged in a line along the feeding direction of the meat product.
The method according to claim 1,
Further comprising a first shielding chamber enclosing the micro processing unit and the heating processing unit and through which the conveyor to which the meat product is fed penetrates.
The method according to claim 1,
The microprocessor,
A waveguide assembly for uniformly reaching the meat product toward the upper surface of the conveyor,
Further comprising a magnetron cooling fan that is operated for a predetermined time or continuously operated to cool the magnetron to prevent overheating of the magnetron.
The method of claim 3,
The waveguide assembly includes:
A first panel disposed above the conveyor and arranged to reach the microwave in an oblique direction from an upper portion of one side of the conveying direction of the meat product to an upper surface of the conveyor;
And a second panel disposed above the conveyor and arranged to reach the microwave in an oblique direction from an upper portion of the other side of the conveying direction of the meat product to an upper surface of the conveyor,
Wherein the first panel and the second panel propagate microwaves generated from the magnetron to the upper surface of the conveyor.
The method of claim 3,
The waveguide assembly includes:
A pair of third panels disposed on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveyor, facing each other,
A fourth panel disposed on an upper portion of the conveyor in parallel with an upper surface of the conveyor,
And at least one fifth panel arranged to connect between the opposite side edges of the fourth panel and the upper edge of each of the pair of third panels and tilted at an angle with respect to the upper surface of the conveyor,
Wherein the third panel, the fourth panel, and the fifth panel propagate the microwave generated from the magnetron to the upper surface of the conveyor.
The method according to claim 1,
A cooling processor disposed at an upper portion of one side of the conveyor and for injecting cooling water into the meat product passed through the heating processor,
Further comprising a drying processing unit disposed at an upper portion of one side of the conveyor and spraying air to the meat processing product passing through the cooling processing unit to remove moisture from the surface of the packaging material wrapped around the meat processing product,
Wherein the heating unit, the cooling unit, and the drying unit are arranged in a line along the feeding direction of the meat product.
The method of claim 6,
Further comprising a second shielding chamber enclosing the cooling processing unit and the drying processing unit and through which the conveyor to which the meat product is fed penetrates.
A first step of putting a meat product into a packing machine, packaging the meat product, mounting the meat product on a conveyor and transferring the meat product in one direction;
A second step of applying microwaves to the meat product transferred in the one direction for a predetermined period of time; And
And a third step of applying hot air at a predetermined temperature to the meat product to which the microwave is applied for a predetermined period of time.
The method of claim 8,
A fourth step of cooling the meat product by spraying cooling water while transferring the meat product to which the hot wind is applied along the conveying direction of the conveyer,
Further comprising a fifth step of spraying air onto the surface of the wrapping material wrapped in the cooling water-treated meat product to remove moisture therefrom.
