Electronic beam sterilization device and electronic beam sterilization method capable of providing a better sterilization effect to containers filled with food, beverage or medicine
The invention relates to an electronic beam sterilization device, which includes a gripper set 27C to receive objects to be sterilized, that are pre-forms PF, and then hold and convey the pre-forms PF to a re-gripping position a gripper set 29C configured to receive the pre-forms RF from the gripper set 27C, and then hold and convey the pre-forms PF downstream and an electron beam emission part 20 to emit an electronic beam EB on the pre-forms PF passing through an electronic beam emitting area EA including the re-gripping position and areas around the re-gripping position.本發明之電子束殺菌裝置具備:夾持器群27C,其於接收殺菌對象物即預成形坯PF後,一面固持預成形坯PF一面搬送至換夾位置;夾持器群29C,其係於自夾持器群27C接收預成形坯PF後,一面固持預成形坯PF一面朝向下游搬送;及電子束之照射部20,其對通過包含換夾位置與換夾位置之前後之電子束照射區域EA之預成形坯PF,照射電子束EB。1‧‧‧吹塑成形裝置10‧‧‧搬入部11‧‧‧旋轉體13‧‧‧搬送帶15‧‧‧搬送機構20‧‧‧殺菌部21‧‧‧前室23‧‧‧照射室24‧‧‧電子束產生裝置25‧‧‧後室27‧‧‧第一搬送機構29‧‧‧第二搬送機構31‧‧‧第三搬送機構40‧‧‧成形部41‧‧‧成形用模具42‧‧‧模具要素43‧‧‧成形用模具44‧‧‧模具要素45‧‧‧第四搬送機構60‧‧‧控制部27A‧‧‧導軌27B‧‧‧移行台車27C‧‧‧夾持器群29A‧‧‧導軌29B‧‧‧移行台車29C‧‧‧夾持器群31A‧‧‧導軌31B‧‧‧移行台車31C‧‧‧夾持器群45A‧‧‧導軌45B‧‧‧移行台車45C‧‧‧夾持器群B‧‧‧容器EA‧‧‧電子束照射區域F‧‧‧搬送方向L‧‧‧下游L1‧‧‧第一路徑L2‧‧‧第二路徑P21‧‧‧位置P22‧‧‧位置P23‧‧‧位置P24‧‧‧位置P25‧‧‧位置P26‧‧‧位置P41‧‧‧位置P42‧‧‧位置P43‧‧‧位置PF‧‧‧預成形坯R‧‧‧順時針U‧‧‧上游W‧‧‧寬度方向
