Description

Small high temperature instant sterilizer

The present invention relates to a high temperature instant sterilizer, and more particularly to a small high temperature instant sterilizer which is small in size, low in cost, and can be used in a laboratory for sterilizing fluid or semi-fluid.

The conventional ultra-high temperature instant sterilization machine can be mainly divided into direct heating and indirect heating according to the principle. Among them, the direct heating can be divided into two types: steam blowing material type and material blowing steam type; and indirect heating. It can also be divided into tube sterilizer and plate sterilizer. In the case of the prior art, U.S. Patent No. 5,443,857 and U.S. Patent No. 4,419,301, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Although the heating method is different, the sterilization principle of the application is the same. The principle of instant sterilization at high temperature is to preheat the fluid material, and then quickly heat the material to the sterilization temperature at a high temperature for about three seconds, thereby killing the microorganisms and enzymes therein. The fluid substance sterilized by the sterilization method is usually milk, and may be other common fluid foods such as juice, soy milk, yogurt, wine, soup, beverage, etc., and any other fluid suitable for this method.

In general, the method of boiling sterilization, although capable of thorough sterilization, has the disadvantage of causing deterioration of the taste of such fluid foods. Another known method of sterilizing fluid The method, known as Pateurisation, is to boil the fluid material at a lower temperature for about twenty to thirty minutes. This method improves the general boiling sterilization and maintains its original flavor while disinfecting; However, it has the disadvantage of not being able to completely sterilize, so that the storage time of the sterilized fluid food is shortened. The ultra-high temperature instant sterilization method described in the above paragraph can maintain the advantages of thorough sterilization of general boil sterilization, and at the same time, it can retain the advantages of the original deodorization method of the pasteurization method, so that the fluid food is thoroughly sterilized and the storage period is increased. Can maintain its original taste without deteriorating in taste. However, the conventional ultra-high temperature instant sterilizer and the previously mentioned front case generally have the disadvantages of large size and high cost, and are not suitable for general laboratory use.

For the above reasons, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a small high-temperature instant sterilizer for instantaneous sterilization of fluids or semi-fluid substances, to achieve thorough sterilization, to extend the shelf life thereof, and to preserve the taste of the substance and prevent its deterioration; In addition to the above-mentioned purpose, the small size of the improved high-speed instant sterilizer is also reduced, making it suitable for use in general laboratories.

The present invention is characterized in that it provides a small high-temperature instant sterilizer having a smaller volume and a lower manufacturing cost than a conventional high-temperature instant sterilizer; in addition, a temperature controller, a heating medium, and a bottom portion are provided. Heating system to achieve the thoroughness of the conventional high temperature instant sterilizer by steam heating Sterilizing fluid or semi-fluid material and the purpose of preserving its original taste.

The technical means of the present invention utilizes an external pump to pump fluid or semi-fluid material through the inlet port into the heating loop in the sterilizer heating tank. Then, through the temperature controller, the bottom heating system is controlled to heat the heating medium inside, and then the heating medium is further heated to heat the material inside the heating loop, so that the material is heated and sterilized by means of ultra-high temperature instant sterilization; That is, the temperature of the bottom heating system is adjusted by the temperature controller, so that the fluid substance is preheated for a certain time at a lower temperature, and then the temperature is raised to a sterilization temperature, so that the fluid substance stays at the sterilization temperature for about three seconds to completely sterilize. Then, according to the demand, it is heated or cooled. Next, the pump is used to pump the fluid material to one of the external containers for storage.

The structure of the creation includes a heating tank, a discharge port, a feed port, a temperature controller and a power switch; the heating tank is internally provided with a heating loop and a heating medium, and the bottom is provided with a bottom heating system. The heating loop is immersed in the heating medium; the discharge port and the inlet port are connected with the heating loop in the heating tank for conveying the fluid substance; the temperature controller is disposed in the heating tank The upper temperature is used to control the temperature of the bottom heating system, and the temperature controller is provided with a display for displaying the currently set temperature. The power switch is also disposed on the heating tank for turning off or turning on the power supply. The heating medium in the heating tank of the present creation is an oil.

The scope of protection of this creation is defined by the scope of the patent application attached to this specification or the scope of patents of other equivalent benefits.

As shown in the first figure, the small high-temperature instant sterilizer 1 of the present invention comprises a heating tank 10, an inlet port 11, a discharge port 13, a temperature controller 30 and a power switch 40, wherein the heating tank 10 There is a heating loop 12 inside, and a closed space is arranged at the bottom thereof, and a bottom heating system 20 (not directly shown in the figure) is arranged in the closed space, so that the bottom heating system 20 does not directly contact the space in the heating tank. . As shown in the second figure, the heating tank has a heating medium, in this embodiment an oil S, which is placed in an amount such that the heating loop 12 is immersed therein. With the above configuration, the bottom heating system 20 The oil S can be heated in an indirect manner, and the heating coil 12 is further heated by the oil S. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating tank 10 is a one-piece container. The shape of the heating tank 10 and its configuration are not limited thereto, and any container capable of withstanding high temperatures and accommodating the same function of the bottom heating system 20 belongs to the protection of the present invention.

The inlet port 11 and the discharge port 13 are coupled to the heating loop 12 in the heating tank 10 for conveying a fluid or semi-fluid substance into the heating tank 10 for sterilization. For the convenience of description, the following will use the fluid substance as the heat sterilization in this embodiment. Substance, however, a semi-fluid substance can also be applied to the sterilizer 1 of the present invention. The temperature controller 30 is disposed on the heating tank 10 for controlling the heating temperature of the bottom heating system 20; the power switch 40 is also disposed on the heating tank 10 for turning on and off the power of the small high temperature instant sterilizer 1.
