The present invention is an apparatus for pasteurizing a foodstuff containing ingredients such as beans, eggs, fruits, potatoes, meat, etc., the temperature of the foodstuff is constant by heating the foodstuff in the tube by the RF generator while the supplied foodstuff passes through the tube It aims to keep it evenly and not to deteriorate.n n n The first tube of the first heating means is of an inert material, and electrodes, one on each side of the tube, are connected to an RF generator that generates energy at a frequency in the range of 10-50 MHz to heat while the foodstuff is in the tube.n n n The first jacket is filled with a first heatable liquid and reaches around the first tube, and the second heating means comprising the second tube has a substantially constant temperature while the heated foodstuff is in the second tube. The foodstuff is discharged at the end of the second heating means and passed on to the process of cooling, dispensing and packing. |
