PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high pressure processing apparatus that is miniaturizable and manufacturable at low cost, and even upon the occurrence of accident such as a rupture of a pressure vessel, the debris of the pressure vessel and a lid is not scattered to surroundings, so that a safe state can be kept having sufficient safety measures and superior practicality.SOLUTION: The high pressure processing apparatus includes: the pressure vessel 3 having the lid 2 that opens and closes a taking-out opening 1 a closed lid holding unit 4 for holding a state of a closed state of the lid 2 when the lid 2 is pressed in the open lid direction by a pressure increase in the pressure vessel 3 and a receiving unit 5 for receiving the closed lid holding unit 4 pressed by the lid 2. In the high pressure processing apparatus, an auxiliary receiving unit 7 is arranged by providing a gap 6 with a predetermined length for the closed lid holding unit 4, and when the receiving unit 5 is damaged at a high pressure processing, the auxiliary receiving unit 7 receives the closed lid holding unit 4.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】装置を小型化すると共に安価に製造することができ、万が一、圧力容器が破裂するような事故が発生した場合でも、圧力容器や蓋体の破片が周囲に飛散することなく、安全な状態が保てる十分な安全対策が成された実用性に優れた高圧処理装置を提供する。【解決手段】取り出し開口部1を開閉する蓋体2を有する圧力容器3と、この蓋体2が圧力容器3内の圧力上昇によって開蓋方向に押圧された際にこの蓋体2の閉蓋状態を保持する閉蓋保持部4と、この蓋体2に押圧された閉蓋保持部4を受け止める受け止め部5とを備えた高圧処理装置において、閉蓋保持部4に対して所定長の間隙6を設けて補助受け止め部7を設け、この補助受け止め部7は、高圧処理時に受け止め部5が破損した際、閉蓋保持部4を受け止めるように構成した高圧処理装置。【選択図】図2
