[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, as a food material, for example, a semi-solid material, specifically, a ground cheese is supplied. The nozzle for forming and supplying a food material into a plate shape has a die that is extruded and formed into a plate shape by, for example, a gear pump, and is a sheet nozzle that forms and discharges into a plate shape. The first conveying roller is provided substantially horizontally, and receives the food material formed in a plate shape. To continuously supply the food material, the supply speed of the plate-like food material supplied from the nozzle is substantially equal to the supply speed. Is rotated at a peripheral surface speed equal to.

As means for cutting the plate-like food material, a cutter is used, and the plate-like food received by the first conveying roller is cut at regular intervals in the conveying direction. The means for peeling the cut plate-shaped food material from the first transport roller uses a thin wire, for example, a piano wire or a tex thread. The position of the peeling means is provided below the first transport roller. For example, it is provided at the lowermost position of the first transport roller or at a position closer to the cutting means of the plate-like food material than the lowermost position.

The second transporting roller is provided substantially horizontally below the first transporting roller, and has an axial projection on the peripheral surface of the second transporting roller. The convex part is the second
It is preferable to provide a slope at a front portion in the rotation direction of the transport roller. The convex portion on the peripheral surface of the second transport roller receives the plate-shaped food material cut and peeled by the first transport roller so as to be sandwiched by an auxiliary roller having an uneven surface, and is rotated to rotate the second transport roller. It is peeled off from the convex portion and supplied at a predetermined position on the transfer surface with an interval. The rotation speed of the second transport roller is set so that the plate-like food material peeled off from the first transport roller is received on the convex portion of the second transport roller.

As a means for peeling the plate-like food material from the second transport roller, a thin wire, for example, a piano wire or a tex thread is used and provided at a position below the second transport roller. The plate-shaped food material placed on the convex portion of the second transport roller is peeled from the convex portion and supplied to a predetermined position on the transport surface, for example, on a belt conveyor at intervals, and at a supply interval. It can be supplied to a predetermined position at a predetermined interval without causing a shift. Further, it is preferable that the convex portion of the second transport roller is provided with an inclination at a front portion thereof. This is preferable for holding the plate-like food material from the first transport roller between the convex portions of the second transport roller with the auxiliary roller, and that the thin line of the peeling means provided below the second transport roller has the convex portion. And the plate-like food material can be quickly and reliably peeled off.
The auxiliary roller having irregularities on the surface is provided at a position in contact with the convex portion of the second transport roller. For example, the auxiliary roller is provided on the arm, and the plate-like food material is applied to the convex portion of the second transport roller by a spring. It is attached so as to be sandwiched, and is supported by a stopper at a position in contact with the convex portion of the rotating second transport roller. When the auxiliary roller comes into contact with the convex portion of the second transport roller, the plate-like food material is nipped by the action of a spring. In addition, the irregularities on the surface of the auxiliary roller are provided in a ring shape or a spiral shape (thread cutting shape). Also,
Irregularities having projections extending in the axial direction may be provided. By providing the unevenness on the surface of the auxiliary roller in this way, the plate-shaped food material can be reliably transferred to the convex portion of the second transport roller without causing a deviation.

A means for cooling the plate-like food material supplied from the nozzle to the first transport roller, for example, a fan may be provided. When supplying a semi-solid material, for example, a semi-solid material such as kneaded cheese, it is preferable that the surface be cooled and transferred to the first transport roller and the second transport roller.
Further, the first transport roller and / or the second transport roller may be provided with a heating unit and / or a cooling unit, and the heating unit and / or the cooling unit may be provided with a temperature control unit. Thus, when a semi-solid material is supplied as a food material, its state can be appropriately controlled.

Further, it is preferable to provide fine irregularities on the surface of the first transport roller. The fine unevenness is preferably, for example, a knurled jagged pattern or an iris pattern. Providing such fine irregularities on the surface of the first transport roller is effective in receiving a plate-shaped food material from a nozzle or delivering the food material to the second transport roller.

Further, since the plate-like material can be reliably supplied to the fixed position at intervals on the conveying surface, the plate-like food material is effectively wound on the skewer in a multilayer manner, which is effective for the production of a multilayer rolled food. It is. In addition, the plate-shaped food material to be wound in multiple layers, the length of the layer wound first to contact the skewer,
Make the length approximately equal to the outer circumference of the skewer. The length of the second layer wound thereon is approximately equal to the length of the outer periphery wound first. Further, the length of the third layer wound thereon is set to a length substantially equal to the outer peripheral length around which the second layer is wound. A concentric rolled food can be obtained by winding such a layer having a length of each layer, and is effective for supplying the plate-shaped food material.
