摘要

A device for cleaning food comprising an ozone water generating device (10), a rotatable cylindrical cleaning tank (1) for cleaning food charged therein, a drain section (4) formed in part of the cleaning tank (1) and having an opening of such size that it allows passage of water therethrough but does not allow the food to pass therethrough, cleaning water piping (2, 9) installed axially of the cleaning tank (1) and formed with sprinkling holes (2a, 9a) for sprinkling cleaning water containing at least ozone water, the arrangement being such that each time the cleaning tank (1) makes one revolution, the food is cleaned while at least part of the cleaning water sprinkled from the cleaning water piping (2, 9) is discharged from the cleaning tank (1). There is another type for recycled use of cleaning water in which a reception tank (8) is installed for receiving cleaning water discharged from the cleaning tank (1) and at least part of the cleaning water in the reception tank (8) is refluxed to the inlet side of the ozone water generating device (10).
