Abstract: A high-pressure sterilizer comprises a high-pressure tank having an inlet and an outlet for the objects to be treated and also having formed therein a heating chamber containing a heating liquid and a cooling chamber containing a cooling liquid, and transfer means for continuously transferring the objects to be treated through said inlet and outlet of the high-pressure tank while passing through the liquids in said heating and cooling chambers to thereby continuously sterilize the objects to be treated by heating. Said heating chamber and cooling chamber are separated by a pair of partition walls to form a space therebetween. Said transfer means are disposed in alignment with passage holes formed in said partition walls in opposed relation below the liquid level and with cylindrical passages provided in the tank in alignment with said passage holes.
