Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/148007
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a container sterilization device which exhibits high sterilization performance while being low in cost. A heating medium (34) is positioned in a sterilization-agent channel (32b) so as to block the downstream end thereof in the direction in which the liquid sterilization agent is discharged. An air channel (32a) is formed in the lateral surface of a tube body (32) of a sterilization-agent supply tube (31), on the upstream side in the direction in which the liquid sterilization agent is discharged in relation to the heating medium (34). A sterilization-agent supply unit (30) sterilizes the inner-peripheral surface of a container (100) as a result of the sterilization agent vaporizing upon reaching the heating medium (34), leaking to the exterior via the air channel (32a) formed in the lateral surface of the tube body (32), and adhering to said inner-peripheral surface of the container (100).
