Description

  The present invention relates to an edible konjac having a hole, a konjac extrusion head suitable for manufacturing the konjac, and a konjac injection molding machine.

  Konjac has been cultivated and edible for a long time. Such edible konjac is made using konjac koji or powder, alkaline water such as lime, sodium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, hot water, hot water, etc. as raw materials at the time of production, and the raw materials are subjected to steps such as stirring and kneading. After the paste is formed, the paste is subjected to processes such as molding, heating, cutting, and packaging, and is solidified to an appropriate size to produce a product. At that time, the konjac is classified by changing the shape, and the lumps include plate konjac, ball konjac, and the like, and the filaments include thread konjac and shirataki. In addition, there is a narrow konjac etc. with a large through hole at the center.

  Such konjac has different seasoning times at the time of cooking for each shape, and the appearance, texture, etc. of the cooking also differ. As for seasoning at the time of cooking, the lump-shaped one takes longer to season than the yarn-like one, but it is naturally easy to season the lump-shaped one by providing irregularities or holes on the surface. However, many perforated konjac that can be easily seasoned are not commercially available.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such conventional problems, and a konjac extrusion head suitable for manufacturing a multi-holed konjac and a multi-holed konjac that can be easily seasoned uniformly in a short time. And it aims at providing a konjac injection molding machine.

In order to achieve the above object, the multi-holed konjac according to the present invention is provided with two opposed outer surfaces, and a large number of through-holes having a predetermined diameter connecting both the outer surfaces are distributed.
Then, it is preferable that the whole is formed into a disk shape and the through holes provided on the two outer surfaces facing each other are formed in a cylindrical space.

  A multi-hole perforated semi-solid konjac extrusion head according to the present invention has an inlet for a paste made from konjac raw material, and a semi-solid-form forming chamber for converting the paste into a semi-solid. A water inflow chamber having a water inflow port is partitioned by providing a wall between the two chambers, and a semi-solid material extrusion port is provided in the semi-solid material forming chamber to produce an inner diameter of the semi-solid material extrusion port. Make it almost equal to the outer diameter of konjac. Then, a number of through holes are provided in the partition wall, and through each of the through holes, water supply thin tubes that guide water from the water inflow chamber to the semisolid material extrusion port are inserted and installed, The position of the water injection port of each water supply thin tube is arranged in the same manner in correspondence with the position of each through hole provided in the production jacquard, and the outer diameter of each water supply thin tube is substantially the same as the inner diameter of each through hole provided in the production nyak. Make equal.

Therefore, it becomes difficult to form a coagulant crystal that is easily formed on the concavo-convex portion of the konjac, so that the storage period of the konjac can be extended.

  Further, the multi-hole perforated semi-solid konjac extrusion head of the present invention can extrude the paste that flows into the semi-solid formation chamber toward the extrusion port, and can extrude it into a semi-solid. And when a konjac leaves | separates from an extrusion port, the through-hole which has many predetermined diameters corresponding to the position of the water injection port of each water supply thin tube and the outer diameter of each water supply thin tube is formed. At that time, water sprayed from the spray port of each water supply thin tube enters each through hole of the semi-solid konjac, thereby preventing deformation and crushing of each through hole. Therefore, the outer diameter of the semi-solid konjac is made approximately equal to the inner diameter of the semi-solid extrusion port, and the positions of the many through holes formed in the konjac are made to correspond to the positions of the water injection ports of each water supply thin tube. It can arrange | position similarly and can extrude, forming the internal diameter of each through-hole substantially equal to the outer tube | pipe of each water supply thin tube, and forming continuously.

The three cutting blades 7 protrude from the speed controller 24 and are fixed to the tip of the rotary shaft 25 that passes through the vicinity of the center of the front plate 10 at intervals of 120 degrees.

  Such a semi-solid product forming circular tube 14 of the extrusion head 5 has a front end opening as a semi-solid product extrusion port 26 of the semi-solid product forming chamber 13, and the inner diameter of the extrusion port 26 is not limited to manufacturing. The diameter is set to approximately 4 cm, for example, and a paste-like distribution inlet 27 is opened on the pipe wall near the rear end, and a branch pipe 28 for connection is protruded there. Then, the rear end portion of the semi-solid material forming circular tube 14 is provided with a female screw on the inner surface so as to be a coupling portion with the partition wall storage circular tube 16, and the female screw is provided on the inner surface of the connecting branch pipe 28 with the kneader.

It is a separable connecting tube.

  In addition, both ends of the partition wall storage circular pipe 16 except for the central part thereof are provided with external threads on the outer surface to form connection parts with the semi-solid material forming circular pipe 14 and the water inflow circular pipe 18. A large number of through-holes connecting the front and rear outer surfaces facing the partition wall 15 are arranged, for example, one at the center and seven concentrically at equal intervals. Water is supplied to each through-hole 17 through the water inflow chamber 17. Through the semi-solid material forming chamber 13 and the straight water supply thin tubes 31 (31a,... 31h) led to the semi-solid material extrusion port 26 are inserted and installed. At that time, the position of the water injection port 32 of each water supply thin tube 31 is similarly arranged in correspondence with the position of each through hole 33 provided in the manufacture nyak 1, and the outer diameter of each water supply thin tube 31 is manufactured.
