A device for surface sterilization of objects includes a housing, a conveyor assembly including a frame, a conveyor bed selectively movably connected to the frame and a plurality of legs spacedly disposed beneath and supporting the frame above a support surface. At least part of the conveyor bed is located longitudinally within the housing to thereby movably support objects to be surface sterilized as they are passed through the housing from a contaminated area to a clean area. An air filtration system is in communication with the housing, and at least one ultraviolet light assembly is located within of the housing to decontaminate the object to be surface sterilized within the sterilization device as the object is transferred via the conveyor through the housing and into the clean area.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A device for surface sterilization of objects, the device comprising;a housing having a first end and a second end and extending continuously there between;a conveyor assembly including a frame, a conveyor bed selectively movably connected to the frame and a plurality of legs spacedly disposed beneath and supporting the frame above a support surface, at least part of the conveyor bed located longitudinally within the housing, to thereby movably support objects to be surface sterilized as they are passed from a contaminated area to a clean area;an air filtration system in communication with the housing;at least one ultraviolet light assembly located within the housing and capable of providing ultraviolet irradiation of sufficient strength for a sufficient period of time to decontaminate the object to be surface sterilized within the sterilizing device as the object to be sterilized is transferred via the conveyor through the housing and into the clean area; andcontrols by which an operator of the device can operate the conveyor, the air filtration system and the ultraviolet lights of the device;wherein the conveyor includes a plurality of rollers rotatably connected transversely along substantially the entire length of the conveyor, and further wherein at least the rollers of the conveyor which are positioned within the sterilization chamber are made of fused quartz, to thereby enhance reflection of U.V. rays within the sterilization chamber and increase contact of such U.V. rays with the surface of the object to be sterilized.
