DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention completely seals not only the outer surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, but also the inner surface within the micropores under the epidermis, without causing any change in the quality of the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles. This is a device for washing, sterilizing, and drying rubber stoppers for medicine bottles, which has an opening/closing door on at least one side and consists of a double wall of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder. A rotating body for a rubber stopper lamp for a medicine bottle is provided in the inner cylinder of the device, and the rotating shaft thereof is rotated by a driving body outside the fabric, wherein the rotating body is connected to a steam generator in the inner cylinder. a steam supply pipe connected to a water supply source, a water supply pipe connected to a water supply source, a suction pipe connected to a vacuum pump,
An overflow pipe and a drain drainage pipe are each connected to the inner cylinder side with a valve interposed therebetween, and in the outer cylinder, a steam supply pipe and a drain drainage pipe connected to the steam generator are each connected to the outer cylinder side with a valve. A washing liquid for a rubber stopper for medicine bottles, a sterilizer, and a
In the inner cylinder of the above device, an air supply pipe connected to an air supply blower equipped with a temperature control mechanism, an exhaust pipe connected to an exhaust blower, and a heat exchanger were interposed and connected to a washing water supply source. A washing water supply pipe is connected to a washing, sterilizing, and drying device for a rubber stopper for medicine bottles, each of which is connected to the inner cylinder side with a valve interposed, and a silicone liquid tank is connected to the inner cylinder of the above device. A silicone liquid misting device with a pump interposed therein is connected to the inner cylinder of the above device to a device for cleaning, sterilizing, and drying rubber stoppers for drug bottles, which is connected to the inner cylinder side with a valve interposed. Instead of a steam supply pipe, the inside of the inner cylinder and the inside of the outer cylinder are passed through a circulation pipe through a steam filter and a valve.
Characterized by obtaining sterilization and drying equipment.

Rubber stoppers, which are generally used as stoppers for medical bottles for medicines, medicinal liquids, etc., have a slightly rough surface, and their shapes include simple cylindrical rubber stoppers, as well as half-bottomed stoppers. There are caps with complicated shapes such as long rubber stoppers and rubber stoppers for liquid rings, which have air vent holes, etc., and when using these stoppers, there is the issue of thorough bottle washing and complete sterilization. .

Conventional cleaning devices for rubber stoppers for medicine bottles that have been commonly used include washing devices using a washer that simply cleans and cleanses the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles that have been immersed in water, and high-pressure jet jets. A high-pressure jet washing device that injects water into the rubber stopper of a medicine bottle to clean it, or an ultrasonic cleaning device that cleans the rubber stopper of a medicine bottle by storing it in an ultrasonic refiner and cleaning it with ultrasonic waves. etc. are used.

However, when washing rice bran with the above-mentioned washer, in the case of complex shapes with air holes, such as long-legged rubber stoppers for half-filling or rubber stoppers for infusions, the outer surface is particularly It is difficult to refine details such as, ``Even with high-pressure jet washing equipment, when washing a large amount of rubber stoppers for medicine bottles at once, the jet stream is never sprayed evenly over the entire stopper. Even when using a single rubber stopper for a medicine bottle, not only is it difficult to wash the bran evenly due to the difference in the amount of spray that hits it, but it also causes minute air bubbles under the epidermis and adhesion to the surface layer. Microscopic air, etc. could not be completely removed, resulting in omissions in thorough cleaning of the area.

Furthermore, in the ultrasonic refining device, since the rubber stopper for medicine bottles itself has elasticity, the sound waves are absorbed by its soft surface, resulting in almost no refining effect, and none of the devices can achieve a complete refining effect.

In addition, in the sterilization equipment for pharmaceutical bottles after rubber cypress refinement, high-pressure steam sterilizers are used to sterilize the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles, etc., but they are sterilized using high-pressure steam at 120 to 130 qo for 15 to 3 nights. When this is done, the rubber becomes viscous, and when it dries, there is a slight looseness between the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles, and there is a lot of looseness.To prevent this, the temperature of the steam should be lowered and the sterilization time should be shortened. This resulted in the problem of insufficient sterilization.

Furthermore, there have been various problems with drying devices for rubber stoppers for medicine bottles after sterilization.

In other words, in commonly used vacuum drying equipment, when the temperature of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles decreases, only the fin radiation heat from the jacket conducts heat. If it is dried, the degree of dryness is extremely poor, and not only will there be large variations in drying locally, such as between rubber stoppers for medicine bottles or within the micropores of rubber stoppers for medicine bottles, but also the medicine will be dried during the sterilization process. If the pressure of the rubber bottle stopper, which has risen to about 12,000, is rapidly reduced to, for example, 1,740 ribs/Hg, the boiling point of water will rapidly drop to about 3°C, so water may adhere to the rubber stopper for medicine bottles. The water (steam drain) adhering to the surface will evaporate, and the latent heat of vaporization will cause the temperature of the rubber stopper for the medicine bottle to drop significantly.

This means, for example, that even though the entire rubber band for medicine bottles, which has been heated to 120 to 13,000 degrees, which is the sterilization temperature in the sterilization process, becomes soft and viscous, if it is suddenly cooled in the drying process. This causes the rubber caps for medicine bottles to stick to each other and deteriorates the quality of the rubber.At least on the surface, the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles harden instantly due to the low temperature.
This means that the hardness increases, impairing the properties of rubber, and it also promotes wear and dust generation due to friction between rubber stoppers for medicine bottles, indicating that it is not desirable as a drying device for rubber stoppers for medicine bottles. There is.

As described above, conventional apparatuses for cleaning, sterilizing, and drying rubber stoppers for medicine bottles have produced unfavorable results depending on the type of rubber stopper for medicine bottles.

The present invention has been completed as a result of various experiments and researches in order to eliminate the various drawbacks of the conventional devices described above, and has achieved an ideal effect.

An example of use in which the rubber stopper for medicine bottles is thoroughly washed, sterilized, coated with silicone, and dried using the apparatus configured as described above for washing, sterilizing, and drying rubber stoppers for medicine bottles is shown below. It will be explained along with its action.

Before operation of the device, all solenoid valves are closed, pumps and blowers are stopped, and the motor is also stopped.

In this state, both the opening and closing doors 1 and 2 are opened, the basket 7 is taken out from the rotating drum 6, and the rubber stopper for the medicine bottle to be washed is placed in the basket 7, which is 1/2 to 1/2 the capacity of the basket 7.
3/ After being stored in the nail shop, the lid is placed on the rotating drum 6 again.
The opening/closing doors 1 and 2 are fixed vertically by a vertical belt 8.
is closed.

{1} Defoaming and washing process The solenoid valve 20 is opened, and after the pig washing water is supplied to the extent that the entire basket 7 in the inner cylinder 3 is submerged, the solenoid valve 20 is closed and the motor 10 is driven. The rotating drum 6 is rotated underwater.

The rotation of the rotary drum 6 is continued once until the end of the final process (drying process). p. m. It is constantly spread at a speed of

As the rotary drum 6 rotates, the rubber stopper for the medicine bottle is swept into the basket 7 and thoroughly washed to remove dust and the like adhering to the surface.
After this normal pressure state continues for 4 to 5 minutes, the solenoid valve 27 is opened, the vacuum pump 25 is activated, and the inside of the inner cylinder 3 is heated to -300 to 60 m cape/
The pressure is reduced to Hg, that is, to a pressure at which the refined water in the inner cylinder 3 does not boil, and this reduced pressure state is continued for 4 to 5 minutes.

By continuing this depressurized state, the fine air adhering to the entire surface of the medicine bottle rubber stopper immersed in the purified water and the residual air under the epidermis are removed, and the surface of the medicine bottle rubber stopper is completely washed with water. immersed in

After the depressurized state continues for the predetermined time, the solenoid valve 27 is closed, the operation of the vacuum pump 25 is stopped, and the solenoid valve 41 is opened, and the low-pressure blower 38 is activated to blow air into the inner cylinder 3. The inside of the inner cylinder 3 is brought to normal pressure.

When the inside of the inner cylinder 3 is brought to normal pressure, the solenoid valve 41 is closed and a low pressure valve is established.

After the operation of the air 38 is stopped and the normal pressure state in the inner cylinder 3 continues for 4 to 5 minutes as described above, the pressure is reduced again in the same manner as described above. The number of times the switching process from normal pressure to reduced pressure in the inner cylinder 3 is repeated during the defoaming and bran washing process is determined as appropriate depending on the shape and size of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, the degree of contamination, etc. determined.

■ Foreign matter elution process After the defoaming and vertical washing processes are completed, the solenoid valves 15 and 48 are opened, and the high-pressure steam is supplied from one side 14a of the high-pressure steam supply pipe in advance.
1.02 to 2 depending on conditions such as the shape of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles.
High-pressure steam that has been reduced and regulated to a predetermined pressure of 0k9/s is supplied into the outer cylinder 4, and the entire cellulose A is heated to 120 to 13030, and gas and liquid are separated within the outer cylinder 4. Dry steam containing no condensate is supplied into the inner cylinder 3 through the steam filter 47, and the washing water in the inner cylinder 3 is heated to 120 to 130 oo, a temperature at which the entire rubber band for medicine bottles does not deteriorate. The foreign substance elution step is carried out by continuing this salt raising state for 20 to 30 minutes.

Since the rubber stopper for medicine bottles is constantly rotated in this step, the rubber plasticizer and dirt on the surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles and under the epidermis are effectively eluted into the washing water.

When the foreign matter elution process is completed, the solenoid valves 15 and 48 are closed, and the solenoid valves 31 and 32 are opened, and the washing water in the inner cylinder 3 and the drain in the outer cylinder 4 are discharged from the respective drain pipes 33 and 34. The water is discharged outside the cone through the main drainage pipe 28.

Leg rinsing process After the above drainage, only the solenoid valve 31 of the drain drain pipe 33 that is closed in the inner cylinder 3 is closed, and the solenoid valve 32 of the drain drain pipe 34 that is closed in the outer cylinder 4 is opened. Solenoid valves 16, 19, and 35 remain open, and solenoid valve 1 remains open.
5 is opened and closed intermittently, the temperature inside the heat exchanger 17 is raised by high pressure steam, and by passing through this, pure water whose temperature has been raised to 80°C is supplied into the inner cylinder 3, and the washing rice bran wastewater is Water is drained from the overflow pipe 36 connected to the side wall of the inner cylinder 3, and during this time, the rubber stopper for the drug bottle is rinsed with running water while being kept in the basket 7, and high-pressure steam is temporarily pumped into the outer cylinder 4. This prevents the temperature of the flowing water in the inner tube 3 from decreasing, and the drain generated in the outer tube 4 is discharged from the drain drain pipe 33 to the outside of the fin body.

After the overflow hot water rinsing continues for 5 to 10 minutes, the electromagnetic valves 19 and 35 are closed to stop the supply of pure water, and at the same time the overflow pipe 36 is blocked.
The solenoid valves 31 and 41 are opened, the low pressure blower 38 is operated, and outside air is supplied into the inner cylinder 3, and the drain drain pipe 33
The rinsing water in the inner cylinder 3 is then discharged to the outside of the harvested body through the main drainage exhaust pipe 28.

When the drainage is completed, the solenoid valves 31 and 41 are closed, and the solenoid valves 19 and 35 are opened again to repeat the overflow warm water rinsing.

The overflow rice bran in this rinsing process removes the dirt, rubber particles, residual detergent, dust, etc. that had adhered to the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, and the specific gravity that had settled on the inner bottom surface of the inner cylinder 3 due to drainage water. Relatively large amounts of dust and metal particles are discharged out of the vertical body.

The number of repetitions of this rinsing step is appropriately determined depending on the size, shape, etc. of the rubber stopper for the drug bottle. [4] After the final drainage in the silicone coating process and the rinsing process and the solenoid valves 19 and 35 are closed, the solenoid valve 53 is opened and the high-pressure pump 51 is activated to drain the silicone in the silicone liquid tank 52. The liquid is supplied in the form of a mist from the nozzle 49 of the sprayer 50 into the inner cylinder 3, and the inner cylinder 3 is filled with the liquid.

Since the rubber stopper for medicine bottles is rotated within the basket 7 of the rotating drum 6, even the details of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles are siliconized.

Also in this silicon coating process, the solenoid valve 15 is opened and closed intermittently, and high pressure steam is supplied into the outer cylinder 4 intermittently.
The temperature inside the inner cylinder 3 is maintained at 80 oo.

When the silicon coating process is completed, the solenoid valve 54 is closed and the operation of the high pressure pump 51 is also stopped.

{5} Final refinement step After the silicon coating step is completed, the solenoid valves 19 and 29 are opened, and as in the case of the rinsing step, purified water heated to 80 oo A final washing process is performed in which the washing liquid wastewater is supplied into the cylinder 3 and discharged from an overflow pipe 30 connected to the upper wall of the inner cylinder 3.

During the final washing with flowing hot water for a predetermined time of 5 to 10 minutes, overflow water is drained from the upper wall of the inner cylinder, so the inner cylinder 3 is filled with pure water, and the rotating drum 6 and basket 7 Dirt, etc. adhering to the surface of the water is also completely washed away.

Even in the final refinement process, the solenoid valve 15 is opened and closed intermittently to supply high-pressure steam into the outer cylinder 4 intermittently, thereby preventing the temperature of the washing water in the inner cylinder 3 from decreasing.

When this final washing process is completed, the solenoid valves 15, 16, 1
9, 29, and 32 are closed, high-pressure steam is supplied to the outer cylinder 4 and the heat exchanger 17, and rice bran water is supplied to the inner cylinder 3.
Overflow from the top wall of the inner cylinder 3 and drainage from the bottom of the outer cylinder 4 are stopped, and at the same time, the solenoid valves 31 and 41 are opened, and the low-pressure blower 38 is activated to send outside air into the inner cylinder 3, The lacquer washing water in the tube 3 is discharged from the drain pipe 33 to the outside of the pot. When the washing liquid water in the inner cylinder 3 is completely discharged, the operation of the low pressure blower 38 is stopped, and the solenoid valves 31,
41 is closed.

■ High-pressure steam sterilization process After the final washing path process is completed, the solenoid valve 15 is opened and high-pressure steam is supplied into the outer cylinder 4 from one side 14a of the high-pressure steam supply pipe, and the entire body A is humidified to 120 to 130 qo. At the same time, the solenoid valve 48 is also opened and closed intermittently, and the high-pressure dry steam containing no condensate, which has been separated into gas and liquid in the outer cylinder 4, is intermittently supplied into the inner cylinder 3 through the steam filter 47. This high-pressure dry steam sterilizes the rubber stopper for medicine bottles.

After 20 to 3 powders have been steam sterilized, the solenoid valve 48 is closed, and at the same time the solenoid valve 15 is opened and closed intermittently.
The solenoid valves 31 and 32 are opened, and the drain in the inner cylinder 3 and outer cylinder 4 is drained. After the drainage is completed, only the solenoid valve 31 of the drain drain pipe 33 opened in the inner cylinder 3 is closed, and the high-pressure steam sterilization is carried out. The process is completed.

{7} Drying process When the high-pressure steam sterilization process is completed, the solenoid valves 41 and 44 are opened, and the low-pressure blower 38, heater unit 39, and high-pressure blower 43 are activated.

The heater unit 39 used is one that raises the temperature of outside air taken in by the low-pressure blower 38 to 80 qo.

The electromagnetic valve 15 is opened and closed intermittently, high pressure steam is intermittently supplied into the outer cylinder 4, the inside of the outer cylinder 3 is maintained at 100 qo, and a drop in temperature in the inner cylinder 3 is prevented.

The difference between the air supply volume of the low-pressure blower 38 and the exhaust volume of the high-pressure blower 43 is such that the inside of the inner cylinder 3 has a negative pressure of -300 to 180 m/Aq depending on conditions such as the shape of the rubber stopper for the medicine bottle. It is determined in advance. The outside air, which has been removed from dust by the pre-treatment filter 37 and taken in by the operation of the low-pressure blower 38, is heated to 80°C by the heater unit 39, made sterile by the vapor filter 40, and then supplied into the inner cylinder 3. The rubber stopper for the drug bottle, which is tied inside the inner cylinder 3, is dried and exhausted from the exhaust pipe 45 to the outside of the bonito body by the high-pressure blower 43. Here, the low pressure blower 38 on the air supply side
Due to the difference in displacement between the high-pressure blower 43 on the exhaust side and the high-pressure blower 43 on the exhaust side, there is a negative pressure inside the inner cylinder 3, forced air drying is used, and the rubber stopper for the medicine bottle is always kept in place. As a result, the surface of the rubber cypress for medicine bottles, including under the skin, is dried to every corner, and the water droplets that have fallen into the inner cylinder 3 instantly turn into water vapor, and this water vapor is also forcibly exhausted from the inner cylinder 3. As a result, dry operations can be carried out efficiently.

Although it varies depending on the shape, size, quantity, etc. of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, sufficient dryness can usually be obtained every 40 to 6 nights.

When the drying process is completed, the solenoid valves 15, 31, and 32 are closed, the operation of the heater unit 39 is stopped, and the supply of high-pressure steam into the outer cylinder 4 is stopped, and the drains of the inner and outer cylinders 3 and 4 are stopped. At the same time as the drain pipes 33 and 34 are closed, sterilized outside air at room temperature is supplied from a low pressure blower 3M into the inner cylinder 3, and the rubber stopper for the pill bottle that is being used is cooled down to room temperature. The warm air inside the inner cylinder 3 is discharged to the outside of the aircraft by the high-pressure blower 43. When this cooling process is completed, the operation of the high pressure blower 43 is first stopped, the solenoid valve 44 is closed, the inside of the inner cylinder 3 is brought to normal pressure, and then the low pressure blower 3
8 is stopped, the electromagnetic valve 41 is closed, and the rotation of the motor 0 for driving the rotary drum 6 is stopped, thereby completing the entire process.

Thereafter, the doors 1 and 2 are opened, the basket 7 is removed from the rotating drum 6, and the sterilized rubber stopper for a medicine bottle is taken out from inside the basket 7.

However, since this cooling process is not the purpose of the present invention, it is possible to use a secondary water cooling method or an air cooling method, or to install a dehumidifier. In addition, in this example, an apparatus consisting of the above-mentioned apparatus is shown to be used by the above-mentioned method, but the number of repetitions of the process, time, temperature, pressure, capacity, type, etc. of the constituent apparatus during use are subject to change. is determined empirically based on the intended use, quality, size, shape, type, quantity, etc. of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles.

Furthermore, the order of the steps such as washing, sterilization, drying, etc. of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles and the omission of steps can be easily changed as appropriate depending on the intended use of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, etc., as described above.

Since the present invention is comprised of the above-mentioned device, it is possible to perform deaeration, washing liquid, removal of foreign substances, rinsing, sterilization, drying, etc. evenly and sufficiently down to the epidermis without causing any deterioration of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles. In addition, the rubber stopper for medicine bottles can be washed and washed in a dry state at all times.
Since it can be sterilized and dried, even if the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles, which become viscous at high temperatures, are sterilized at a high temperature to that limit and then dried, the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles will not become loose or become brittle. , defoaming, bran washing process, high-pressure steam sterilization process, silicone coating process, final refinement process, and drying process, even if a large number of rubber stoppers for medicine bottles are placed in a basket, etc., they may be placed either vertically or horizontally. Items can be evenly and evenly degassed, rinsed, silicone coated, final washed, sterilized, and dried, and in the foreign matter elution process and rinsing process, foreign substances that are eluted or attached to the surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles are removed. The entire process can be carried out with high efficiency, as dirt can be easily separated from the rubber stopper for medicine bottles into purified water.

In addition, all of the processes of degassing, washing, foreign matter elution, rinsing, silicone coating, final washing, high-pressure steam sterilization, and drying of rubber stoppers for medicine bottles are all carried out in one device.
When configured and used as in the embodiment, it is easy to automatically perform all processes through centralized control. Next, the effects of the apparatus according to the present invention on each process will be described separately as follows.

In other words, in the defoaming and refining process, the process of switching from reduced pressure inside the carcass to normal pressure can be repeated while the rubber stopper for medicine bottles is submerged. Fine air bubbles attached to the entire surface and residual air under the epidermis easily separate from the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, and the knee surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles to be washed is completely submerged in water, making it difficult to wash. It can be made into rice bran.

In this process, the pressure reduction range is -300 to 160 m/h.
g, there is no boiling of the purified water and defoaming from the surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles can be carried out quickly and reliably.

In the foreign matter elution process, the temperature of the washing water can be raised to the upper limit temperature at which the rubber stopper for medicine bottles does not deteriorate while allowing the entire rubber stopper for medicine bottles to evaporate. The liberated dirt on the surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, such as rubber plasticizers and additives, can be completely removed from the entire surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, and can be effectively eluted into the rice bran water.

In the rinsing process, the process of rinsing with running water and draining can be repeated while holding the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, so it is possible to repeat the process of rinsing with running water and draining. Comparatively lightweight items such as dirt attached to objects in the cage, small pieces of rubber stoppers for medicine bottles, residual detergent, and bonito dust can be discharged out of the aircraft with running water, and・Dust and metal particles can be discharged from the baleen body by draining water, and the fin body can be almost completely dust-free, increasing the rinsing effect. In addition,
The temperature of the running water in this rinsing process is 40 to 100q.
If it is o, the specific volume will be larger than when using cold water, which will further improve the rinsing effect and help shorten the process time. In the silicone coating process, if the surface of the rubber stopper for a medicine bottle is siliconized with a mist of silicone liquid while the rubber stopper for a medicine bottle is applied, the entire surface of the rubber stopper for a medicine bottle can be uniformly siliconized. The rubber stopper for medicine bottles is provided with lubricity, and the brittleness of the surface during long-term use can be prevented as much as possible.

Furthermore, if silicone coating is performed in an atmosphere of 70 to 10,000 °C, even when homogenized silicone liquid is used, not only will silicone and water not separate, but the details of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles will also be coated. Siliconization can be performed evenly.

In the final washing process, the rice bran can be washed and drained with running water while the rubber stopper for the medicine bottle is closed. During the process that was carried out before the process, the inside wall of the isoshima was covered with particles such as the rubber stopper for medicine bottles and fine dust from the medicine bottle stoppers due to the rotation of the flyware and the damage caused by the damage of the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles. The entire surface and the surface adhesion of the hawk's accompaniment itself can be completely washed away and discharged from the carcass.

In the high-pressure steam sterilization process, the rubber stopper for medicine bottles is sterilized and the medicine bottles are heated with high-pressure steam at a temperature and pressure that does not cause the rubber stoppers to deteriorate, that is, the upper limit temperature and pressure that does not cause the rubber stoppers to deteriorate. Since the rubber stopper for medicine bottles can be sterilized, the entire rubber stopper for medicine bottles can be sterilized evenly and extremely efficiently, and even if the rubber stopper for medicine bottles becomes viscous at high temperatures, it can be used to sterilize a large number of medicine bottles by sterilizing the rubber stoppers. The rubber caps used for medicine bottles do not stick to each other, and since sterilization can be performed using steam, it is easy to control the temperature inside the medicine bottle, and the rubber stopper for medicine bottles can be kept in a moist state. There is no pleasure caused by the friction between the rubber band for the medicine bottle and each other.

Also, if the high-pressure steam is high-pressure steam that does not contain condensate,
There is no possibility that metal rust, dirt, etc. in the pipes contained in the drain will stick to the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, and the sterilization effect can be improved accordingly.

During the drying process, the rubber stopper for the medicine bottle is rubbed while
Since the vertical body is under negative pressure and can be ventilated and dried with hot air, the relative humidity inside the hammer body can be significantly lowered, water can be easily removed from the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, and moisture under the epidermis can be removed easily and quickly. Since water can be dehydrated from the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, the rubber stopper for medicine bottles can be dried evenly and efficiently from every corner, and the water droplets that fall into the bonito body can be instantly turned into water vapor, and this water vapor can also be removed. Since it can be forcibly discharged from the inside of the body, the degree of dryness of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles can be improved and the drying time can be shortened.

In the drying process, when creating a negative pressure inside the foundation body, if this is adjusted by the difference between the amount of hot air supplied to the key body and the amount of exhaust air, there is no need for any special means to create a negative pressure inside the foundation body. Since negative pressure can be achieved only by adjusting the capacitance difference or the capacitance difference between the two, the configuration of the device can be made as simple as possible. If the rubber stopper for medicine bottles is housed in a basket attached to a rotating body that moves annularly in the vertical direction inside the body, and this rotating body is rotated by a driving body, The rubber stopper for medicine bottles is sufficiently protected by the rolling motion inside the basket due to the rotation of the rotating body, and the movement caused by the fall of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles within the basket when the basket moves from the top to the bottom. Therefore, each treatment in each step can be performed equally on all the rubber stoppers for medicine bottles.

Furthermore, the structural effects of the apparatus of the present invention are as follows. That is, the rock body in the device of the present invention has a double wall, and the steam supply pipe and the drain pipe are connected to the inside of the outer cylinder, so that by supplying steam into the outer cylinder, the inner cylinder is By setting the steam temperature and pressure appropriately, the temperature inside the inner cylinder can be easily adjusted, making it possible to prevent foreign matter from dissolving, rinsing, and silicone coating rubber stoppers for medicine bottles. ,
Processes such as final washing, high-pressure steam sterilization, and drying are performed efficiently.

Not only can the surface of the rubber stopper for medicine bottles be thoroughly dried, but water droplets that fall into the inner cylinder instantly turn into water vapor, and this water vapor is also forcibly exhausted from the inner cylinder. Efficient drying can be performed. In addition, a steam supply pipe and a drain pipe are connected inside the outer cylinder, and the inside of the inner cylinder and the inside of the outer cylinder are transported by a circulation pipe via a steam filter and a valve. After removing condensate from the high-pressure steam containing contaminants that were contaminated while passing through the piping in the outer cylinder, the high-pressure steam is further passed through a steam filter and supplied to the inner cylinder as high-pressure dry steam. Then, only clean high-pressure dry steam from which minute contaminants contained in the high-pressure steam have been removed can be supplied into the inner cylinder, and the inside of the inner cylinder can be kept as clean as possible. Since the high-pressure dry steam supplied into the inner cylinder sterilizes the rubber stopper for medicine bottles, it is suitable for sterilizing rubber stoppers for medicine bottles that need to be treated hygienically. Furthermore, in the case where the overflow pipe that should be opened in the inner cylinder of the clay body is opened in the side wall slightly above the lowest basket position of the basket provided around the rotating drum inside the clay body, and the upper wall of the inner cylinder. The overflow is closed on the side wall of the inner cylinder during the rinsing process.

- If a pipe is used, and an overflow pipe opened in the upper wall of the inner cylinder is used during the final refining process, unnecessary costs can be avoided as much as possible even if expensive pure water is used as rice bran washing water. can. As described above, the present invention is extremely useful in practice as an apparatus for washing, sterilizing, and drying rubber stoppers for medicine bottles.
