内部の衛生が保たれる。The drawing is a partial cross-sectional view showing an embodiment in which a screw conveyor is used as a rotary transfer device. In the figure, (1) is the pipe part of the screw conveyor main body, (2) is the shaft, (3) is the screw attached to the shaft (2), (4) is the inlet for powder, etc., and (6) is An ultraviolet or infrared lamp, (7) a support plate thereof, (8) a reflector plate, and (9) a conductive pulley. Where (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and
(9) constitutes a screw conveyor. Pipe part
(1) is made of an ultraviolet or infrared transmitting material, and the ultraviolet lamp (6) is arranged outside the pipe portion (1). Although two lamps (6) are shown in the figure, more lamps may be arranged, or in some cases, one lamp (6) may be used. The UV light emitted by the lamp (6) is emitted from the pipe (1).
And is irradiated onto the surface of the powder. Also the lamp (6)
Rays going out of the are reflected by the reflector (8). Since the powder is transferred while being stirred, the sterilization by ultraviolet rays or the heat sterilization by infrared rays is sufficiently performed, and the hygiene inside the apparatus is maintained.

層効果が上がる。Although the case where the screw conveyor is used has been described above, the present invention can also use the spinflow conveyor depending on the sterilization symmetry. The spin flow conveyor is a kind of rotary transfer device that rotates a guide coil equipped with a brush to transfer particles such as tablets and capsules (including filled or empty capsules).
Also in this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained by forming the pipe portion of the main body with a material that transmits ultraviolet rays or infrared rays and disposing the ultraviolet lamp or the infrared lamp or the radiant ceramics on the outside thereof. Further, if the guide coil and the brush are made of a radiation transparent resin, the effect is further enhanced.
