A cover 16 covers the hot water tank 14 and the upper part of the conveyor 13 so that steam generated from the hot water in the hot water tank 14 is not directly discharged into the factory.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional continuous type boiler / sterilizer 11, although steam generated from hot water is temporarily prevented from rising by the cover 16, the steam is generated along the cover 16. It moved laterally and was discharged from the entrance and exit, filling the factory with steam. In order to prevent the inside of the factory from being filled with steam, large-scale ducts 17 are provided at the entrance and the exit of the cover 16 and the blower 18 is forced to discharge the steam to the outside.

The provision of such a large-scale duct or blower requires a great amount of equipment cost, imposes a great limitation on the layout in the factory, and impairs the aesthetics of the factory. In addition to this, if the steam having a large amount of heat energy is directly discharged to the outside, the energy use efficiency is poor and the energy is wasted.
As a result, the processing ability of boiling and sterilizing was also a factor that was inferior.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned points. It eliminates the need for ducts and blowers, which have been conventionally required, reduces equipment costs, allows free layout in the factory, and enhances the aesthetics of the factory. In addition, the purpose is to realize a continuous boiling and sterilizing machine that is excellent in energy utilization efficiency without wasting energy and has excellent boiling and sterilizing ability.
