Device for decontaminating objects

A device for decontaminating objects, including:

• a decontamination area in which the objects move by means of gravity between a decontamination area entrance and a decontamination area exit,
• at least one source for emitting a light radiation into the decontamination area, said light radiation being suitable for decontaminating said objects moving in said area;
• a conduit which extends between the decontamination area entrance and the decontamination area exit;
• a device for positioning the objects in said decontamination area, to position the objects in a predetermined arrangement, including at least two elements for guiding said objects;
• said at least two elements for guiding said objects include at least one lateral rail included into said conduit and on which said objects are at least partially guided, said at least one lateral rail comprising a contact area with at least one object and at least one reflective area which is contiguous with said contact area and which is suitable for reflecting said light radiation onto said at least one object, said reflective area being constituted by a face of said at least one lateral guide rail;
• and
• said at least one lateral guide rail has a V-shaped profile, comprising two contiguous faces, at least one of the two faces being suitable for reflecting said light radiation and constituting said at least one reflective area, the two faces extending on either side of a ridge, said contact area of said at least one lateral rail being constituted only by the ridge.
