ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for killing insects in produce, which comprises an outer container; means for dividing a space enclosed by the outer container into first and second internal chambers; means for supporting a plurality of bulk produce bins in the first internal chamber; first and second air passage means for selectively allowing passage of air between the first internal chamber and the second internal chamber; means for circulating air in the second internal chamber successively through one of the air passage means, the first internal chamber, the other of the air passage means, and back into the second internal chamber; and means for heating the circulating air.
