PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid food-sterilization device which is hard to cause clogging at its storing/discharging part even if the liquid food contains pulp, and which can be continuously operated for a long time.SOLUTION: The liquid food-sterilization device 10 includes: the sterilization-device body part 12 circulating and sterilizing liquid food 11 a liquid food-supplying part 13 supplying the liquid food before sterilization into the sterilization-device body part and a container-like storing/discharging part 16 discharging the liquid food into the sterilization-device body part. At the bottom surface part 17 of the storing/discharging part, a plurality of discharge hole parts 18 discharging the liquid food into the sterilization-device body part are formed. At a position facing the lower end part of a liquid food-pouring pipe line part 15, a conical projection part 20 projecting toward the liquid food-pouring pipe line part is formed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】パルプを含有する液体食品であっても、貯留送出部の目詰まりが発生し難く、長時間の連続運転が可能な液体食品の殺菌装置を提供する。【解決手段】液体食品11を流通させて殺菌する殺菌装置本体部12と、殺菌前の液体食品を殺菌装置本体部内に供給する液体食品供給部13とを備える液体食品の殺菌装置10であって、殺菌装置本体部内に送出しうる容器状の貯留送出部16とを備え、貯留送出部の底面部17には、殺菌装置本体部内に液体食品を送出する複数の送出孔部18が形成されると共に、液体食品注入管路部15の下端部と対向する位置において、液体食品注入管路部に向かって突出する錐形の突部20が形成された構成とする。【選択図】図1
