Abstract
A vacuum steam wand for sanitizing a carcass includes a housing having a handle and a thermally conductive vacuum head with steam passages within that maintain the temperature of the vacuum head above a desired sanitizing temperature. The vacuum head includes a wall defining a vacuum region that is surrounded at the interior and exterior perimeter by multiple closely spaced steam nozzles that continuously wash the wall, spray the carcass to loosen contaminants and maintain the temperature of the wall at or above the sanitizing temperature. Only steam is used and water is not needed by the tool. A thermometer for monitoring temperature is provided and portions of the tool are coated with a nonstick coating to prevent contaminants from adhering due to the high temperature of the tool surface and to reduce friction with the carcass. The wall has a lowered height portion which improves the vacuum lifting action and allows the inner wall surface to act as a scraper to prevent contaminants from collecting on the outer wall surface.
