PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disinfecting device of rice seed which is easily arranged in a building, and can collect work areas by operators into one place and efficiently perform operation such as carrying in and out of the seed rice container with small number of operators.SOLUTION: A hot-water disinfection apparatus 1 of rice seed is constituted with: a hot water tank 2 for immersing rice seed in hot water a cold water tank 3 for immersing the rice seed dipped in the hot water to the cold water and an automatic conveyor 5 which rises and falls, and move a seed rice container 4. The hot water tank 2 and the cold water tank 3 are arranged in a moving route of the seed rice container 4 by the automatic conveyor 5. A work area 6 to carry in and take out the seed rice container 4 is formed in a moving route of the seed rice container 4 at one end side of the automatic conveyor 5.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】建屋内における配置が容易で、しかも作業者による作業領域を1箇所にまとめて、少ない作業者数で種籾容器の搬入と搬出などの作業を効率的に行うことができる種籾の消毒装置を提供する。【解決手段】種籾の温湯消毒装置1は、種籾を温湯に浸す温湯タンク2と、温湯に浸した種籾を冷水に浸す冷水タンク3と、種籾を収容する通水性の種籾容器4と、種籾容器4を昇降および移動させる自動搬送装置5とで構成される。温湯タンク2および冷水タンク3を自動搬送装置5による種籾容器4の移動経路に並べて配置してある。自動搬送装置5の一端側には、種籾容器4の移動経路内に種籾容器4を搬入し搬出する作業域6を設けてある。【選択図】図1
