SEED RICE-WARM WATER DISINFECTION APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seed rice-warm water disinfection apparatus in which a seed rice container can easily and surely be put on a constant position above a warm water-spouting portion or a cold water-spouting portion. SOLUTION: This seed rice-warm water disinfection apparatus comprises a warm water disinfector 1 and a water cooler. The warm water disinfector 1 comprises a warm water tank 2 in which a warm water-sprouting portion 8 for sprouting warm water is disposed, and a guide portion 31 for guiding a porous seed rice container 29 for receiving seed rice to be disinfected from the upper side and then putting the same on the warm water-sprouting portion 8 in the warm water tank 2. A guide portion 31 guiding the porous seed container 29 lowered from upper side toward the fixed position on the warm water-spouting portion 8 is arranged around the warm water-spouting portion 8. The guide portion 31 comprises an assembled portion 32 disposed in a state contacting with the periphery of the seed rice container 29. The upper ends of the assembled portion 32 are outward opened guide portions 33 inclined at an angle of 20 to 60° to the vertical surfaces to form a guide portion 33. The guide portion 33 is exposed on the surface of warm water in the warm water tank. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
