PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new boil processing apparatus capable of performing optimum boiling by more correctly adjusting the pressure of a pressurized boil chamber.SOLUTION: The boil processing apparatus 1 includes double airtight structures 7 for keeping the pressurization state of the pressurized boil chamber 2 at the both charge side and discharge side, thereby keeping the pressurization state at high levels in the pressurized boil chamber 2 even when food W is charged to the pressurized boil chamber 2 and is discharged from the chamber 2. A pre-boil chamber 3 for setting a pressurization or normal pressure state is arranged in the pre-stage of the pressurized boil chamber 2, the pre-boil chamber 3 being configured to equalize the pressure therein with the pressure in the pressurized boil chamber 2 through the use of a pressure equalization communication pipe 28. The pressurized boil chamber 2 includes a pressurizing means 25 which compensates for pressure reduction to possibly occur when equalizing the inner pressure between the pre-boil chamber 3 and the pressurized boil chamber 2 and charging the food W from the pre-boil chamber 3 to the pressurized boil chamber 2, etc.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】 加圧ボイル室の圧力調整がより一層正確に図れるようにし、最適な茹で上げを可能とする新規なボイル加工装置を提供する。【解決手段】 本発明のボイル加工装置1は、加圧ボイル室2の加圧状態を維持するための二重密閉構造7を、投入側及び排出側の双方に具え、加圧ボイル室2に食品Wを投入する場合や加圧ボイル室2から食品Wを排出する場合でも加圧ボイル室2の加圧状態が高いレベルで維持できるようにし、また加圧ボイル室2の前段には、加圧または常圧状態に設定できる前室ボイル室3が設けられ、ここは均圧連通管28によって加圧ボイル室2との均圧化が図れるように構成されて成り、更に加圧ボイル室2には加圧手段25を設け、前室ボイル室3と加圧ボイル室2との内圧を均圧化する場合や、食品Wを前室ボイル室3から加圧ボイル室2に投入する場合等に生じ得る圧力低下を補えるようにしたことを特徴とする。【選択図】図1
