How Continuous Spray Sterilizers Work?

Continuous spray sterilizers are commonly used in various industrial applications to sterilize a wide range of products, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. Here's how continuous spray sterilizers work:

1. Loading the Products: The products to be sterilized are loaded onto a conveyor belt that passes through a tunnel-shaped chamber.

2. Preheating: The products are preheated by hot air or steam to ensure that the temperature inside the products reaches the desired level.

3. Spraying: Once the products are preheated, they are sprayed with a sterilizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or chlorine dioxide. The sterilizing agent is typically in the form of a fine mist that is sprayed onto the products using spray nozzles that are located inside the chamber.

4. Dwell Time: The products are then held inside the chamber for a specific period of time to allow the sterilizing agent to penetrate and kill any bacteria or other microorganisms on the surface of the products.

5. Cooling: After the dwell time is complete, the products are cooled down using cold air or water to prevent them from being damaged or deformed due to high temperatures.

6. Unloading: Finally, the sterilized products are unloaded from the conveyor belt and can be packaged or further processed as needed.

Continuous spray sterilizers are often used in high-volume production environments because they can process large quantities of products quickly and efficiently. They are also highly effective at sterilizing a wide range of products, including those with complex shapes or difficult-to-reach surfaces.
