PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food washing apparatus cooping with a case where a washed object is a food having large gravity to eliminate the risk of being discharged when being washed that reduces manufacturing cost and cleaning time by eliminating a screen cylinder part required in the past while improving the operability by using a washing basket.SOLUTION: The food washing apparatus includes: a washing water tank 2 a filtaration water tank 7 a pressurized water pipe 51 which is laid between a circulation pump 8 disposed in the filtaration water tank and a bottom chamber 29 formed in the washing water tank a jetting port 55 opened to upward at an edge of the pressurized water pipe a bubble-generating device 4 for aeration disposed in a middle of the pressurized water pipe and the washing basket 9. In the washing basket, a bottom part is formed at a bottom part screen 92 as well as an upper edge rim 95 thereof is formed at a water discharge rim.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】 洗浄に際し流出のおそれがない比重が大きい食品を被洗浄物とした場合に対応したもので、洗浄カゴを用いることによって作業性を向上させながら、従来必要とされていたスクリーン筒部を省略させ、製作コストの低減、清掃手間の軽減を図ることができる食品洗浄装置の提供。【解決手段】 洗浄水槽2と、濾過水槽7と、濾過水槽に設けた循環ポンプ8と洗浄水槽に形成した底部室29との間に配管した圧力水管51と、圧力水管の先端に上向きに開口した噴出口55と、圧力水管の途中に設けた曝気用泡発生装置4と、洗浄カゴ9を備え、洗浄カゴは、その底部が底部スクリーン92に形成されると共に、その上端縁95が水流出縁に形成されている。【選択図】 図1
