  The present invention is a multi-row continuous packaging of processed food in which tofu, deep-fried, etc., raw noodles such as udon, ramen, meat such as hamburg, processed foods of confectionery are hygienically continuously packaged in an appropriate oxygen-free state. Relating to the device.

  Conventional methods for sanitary continuous packaging of processed foods such as tofu, deep-fried meat, raw noodles, hamburgers, and confectionery include, for example, bags sealed with processed foods such as egg baked at high temperature A method is known in which the air in the bag is evacuated and then exhausted to a predetermined extent in the bag (see Patent Documents 1 to 3). However, it cannot be packaged in multiple rows. Moreover, complicated operation is required for packaging. The inventor has also proposed an apparatus for continuously packaging food such as tofu (see Patent Document 4). This device did not provide sufficient packaging.

This Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-331095 is a vertical automatic filling and packaging apparatus in which a passage for removing air or a pipe is inserted into a filling chute for charging a powdery material to be filled. is there. The filling chute is cylindrical and forms a cylindrical package. In this apparatus, a cylindrical package is formed, and one film is fused at one place. In addition, since it is powder, when the passage for air removal or the insertion pipe is forcibly sucked by the suction pump, the filling material is discharged together, so it is originally present in the container of the package. It is a function to exhaust the air that is, and not to forcibly exhaust. It is only a passage for venting air by filling the material to be filled.

However, the air present in the powder filling cannot be discharged. That is, it does not cause the packing to be oxidized. In addition, it uses a single film to fill the cylindrical package with the raw material of the powder, and in order to fill the powder filling smoothly, it only has an air vent passage. It has been proposed that the device does not exclude air (see Patent Document 5).

When food is packaged automatically in multiple rows in a hygienic and moderately oxygen-free state, when the processed food is put into the packaging container and the air in the packaging container is exhausted, When exhausting complicated instruments and air for injection, the pressure in the bag drops, and the shape of the processed food is broken and damaged. Therefore, in order to prevent these problems, the processed food is filled in a film bag container and sealed, the air in the bag is evacuated, and the bag is brought to a predetermined degree of exhaustion. In addition, food is generally introduced sequentially by a disk system. There is a demand for automatic packaging of processed foods continuously in multiple rows.

As another conventional method for packaging processed food, a method is known in which pressure is applied to the bag to push out air in the bag from the outside of the bag containing the processed food. However, in this method, there is a possibility that the processed food is pressurized and deformed and damaged.
In such a method, it takes an extra time for the processed food to be cooled to a certain temperature, so that the work efficiency is reduced, and an extra device is provided, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems of the exhaust packaging method that can automatically package such conventional processed foods continuously into a plurality of rows and make them close to a moderate oxygen-free state. When continuously processing raw noodles such as deep-fried noodles, ramen noodles, etc., it can be packaged in multiple rows continuously in an appropriate oxygen-free state regardless of the temperature of the processed food, and hygiene without damaging the processed food The purpose is to provide a multi-row continuous automatic packaging device for processed foods that can be continuously packaged.

In a packaging machine for processed foods that wraps processed foods such as noodles, confectionery, meat products, soups, tofu products, jelly products, and candy products in a film bag, a film container is formed from two thermoplastic film sheets. A cylindrical means that is formed and fused to both ends in the width direction of the film formed in the film container that opens upward, and transports the film container downward or laterally, and a cylindrical shape that is loaded into the film container. Means for injecting and filling processed food from a can or injection guide; deaeration means for exhausting air in the film container of processed food injected into the film container; and fusing the upper part of the film container to fuse the film. A multi-row continuous packaging device for processed foods, comprising a set of devices capable of hermetically packaging the processed food in the sealed film container. It is.

The present invention relates to a processed food continuous packaging apparatus for packaging processed food, a film roll portion capable of supplying two roll-shaped thermoplastic film sheets, and the film sheet as a film container, wherein the processed food is placed in the container. The feeding part of the cylindrical can or the guide for filling that can be filled, and the two film sheets are moved downward without any deviation, the holes are formed at both ends of the film, and the film is transported by the pawls. A fixed amount in the film container and the heating roll part or bag forming crimping part in which the side surface is continuously fused in a plurality of rows in order to make the film sheet being conveyed and the film sheet being conveyed into a container shape. The piston-type pressing part that fills the food and the film container is filled with processed food, the exhaust part is used to discharge air appropriately, and a certain amount of Industrial food has become the heating fusion Tsuko in part to fuse the upper portion of the film when filled with, and allow quantitative continuous packaging.

  Processed food transverse packaging equipment for processed foods is processed from the supply part into a film roll part that can supply a roll-shaped thermoplastic film sheet and a film sheet container supplied with a thermoplastic film sheet. Put the food, cover the roll-shaped thermoplastic film sheet with the supplied film sheet at the film roll part from the top, make holes at both ends of both films so that the upper and lower film sheets are displaced and transferred, A film guide unit that allows the two sheets to be guided with high accuracy by being transferred by the claw unit, and a heating roll that continuously fuses the side surfaces into a plurality of rows in order to form the transported film sheet into a container shape. The pressure-bonding part and the exhaust part that discharges air appropriately inside the film container, and the film container filled with a certain amount of processed food Thermal fusion fusing the inlet portion of the container of the film Tsuko and has become and a part, and to allow quantitative continuous wrapped laterally.

The accuracy of the transfer could be improved by moving the two film sheets forward without any gaps, making holes at both ends of the film, and providing pawls. The size of the hole was about 1 to 5 mm, and the hole was completed by transferring it by 5 to 10 mm as an interval.

  Of the resin films having a thickness of 20 to 100 microns, a polyolefin film is often used as the material for the film sheet, and a polypropylene film is particularly preferable. The shape of the supply portion of the cylindrical can or the injection guide used to make this film sheet into a film container so that processed food can be filled in the container is cylindrical, conical and has an opening diameter of 30 mm to 150 mm, length is 30 mm to 300 mm, and the materials are stainless steel, aluminum and resin, and the multi-row continuous wrapping device for processed foods that can supply processed food from each cylindrical part It is.

  In the present invention, the supply portion of the cylindrical can or infusion guide that makes a film sheet a film container and can be filled with processed food is a cylindrical or conical shape that can be filled with a prescribed amount of processed food. By attaching a stainless steel or resin exhaust pipe with a diameter of 5 to 30 mm made of an exhaust pipe rod in the vicinity of the center of the upper part in each cylindrical part, the air in the film container can be discharged. It is installed as follows.

The film guide section that can guide the two thermoplastic film sheets to be conveyed is located on the outer periphery of the cylindrical can and guides the supply of the two thermoplastic film sheets to be conveyed continuously. Thus, the conveyance guide is configured to form a film container having a cylindrical shape, a trapezoidal shape, a conical shape, or a bag shape that can be filled with processed food.

In the present invention, the exhaust part made of the suction pipe rod from the upper part in each cylindrical part is processed to a suitable degree of exhaustion in order to exhaust the air in the film container containing processed food by connecting the exhaust device. This is a multi-row continuous packaging device for processed foods so that the inside of the container filled with foods can be maintained in an appropriate oxygen-free state.
In order to make two thermoplastic film sheets being transported into a container shape, a heating roll unit or a bag-forming thermocompression bonding unit that fuses the side surfaces in a plurality of rows continuously, the two transported film sheets are fixed. In order to make this container, it consists of two thermocompression-bonding rolls or bag-forming thermocompression-bonding rods that can heat-seal the film continuously.

  The piston-type pressing unit that fills a certain amount of food into the film container is filled with a prescribed amount by injecting processed food and sandwiched between the piston-type pressing tools on both sides, and the upper part of the film container is fused. It consists of a piston-type heat fusion iron that can be made.

In the present invention, a film container filled with processed food is placed 2 to 20 in the transverse direction by a heating roll or a bar-like crimping section that continuously fuses the side surfaces in parallel to form the film sheet being conveyed into a container. This is a multi-row continuous packaging device for processed foods that can be continuously produced by arranging a plurality of rows in parallel.
The processed food in the film container can be kept for a long time in an appropriate oxygen-free state with an appropriate degree of exhaust. However, the exhaust / suction part made of the suction pipe rod from the top in each cylindrical part may not be necessary depending on the processed product.

It is connected to an exhaust device so that the inside of the film container can be sucked and can be brought into an appropriate oxygen-free state. In the case of processed foods that do not require anaerobic conditions, it is not necessary to install a suction exhaust pipe. However, it is desirable to install from a hygienic aspect.

The present invention provides a plurality of processed foods, each of which has an exhaust pipe rod from the top in each cylindrical part, and which holds the processed food in the film container in an appropriate oxygen-free state by an exhaust device. It is also a row type continuous packaging device.
Moreover, the multi-row packaging apparatus for processed food according to the present invention is a multi-row continuous packaging apparatus for processed food that is automatically evacuated from the processed food, and has thermoplasticity formed in a film container that opens upward. The case in which both ends in the width direction of the film container are heat-sealed and a transport means for transporting the film container downward and a thermoplastic upper film covering the upper surface of the processed food are brought into contact with the upper surface of the film container. An evacuation means for evacuating the inside and an adhesive means for adhering the upper film and sealing the film container are provided, and the processed food in the film container is kept hygienic and safe with an appropriate degree of evacuation.

As described above, according to the processed food multi-row continuous wrapping apparatus according to the present invention, the film bag containing the processed food has an air-free and moderate oxygen-free state in the film container by the deaeration means and the adhesion means. Was done by discharging. After that, since it is sealed with the upper film bag, it is not necessary to cool the processed food to a certain temperature as in the conventional example, and it can be automatically packed continuously in multiple rows, so that the work efficiency is significantly improved. It can be safe from the surface.

Moreover, the processed food with which the film bag container was filled can be stably sealed in the bag. In addition, the processed food can be continuously packaged in a plurality of rows in a sanitary manner in the film bag.
Processed foods can be packaged with two different types of film, so that various packaging shapes can be ensured in addition to the air permeability and sealability of the film bag, and the packaging productivity can be increased. I was able to improve it extremely.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 10 show an embodiment of a vacuum packaging apparatus for processed food according to the present invention. Each figure will be described below.
In the schematic view of the multi-row continuous wrapping machine in FIG. 1, this apparatus supports both ends in the width direction of a thermoplastic film sheet 1 in the form of a strip and transports the film 1 downward (to the left in FIG. 1). Conveying means is provided.

Two front and rear roll films 1 pass between the outer peripheral film guide upper part 3 and the film supply roll part 4 of the cylindrical can 2 for pouring and filling, the punching rollers 5 at both ends on the same axis, and the lower part 6 of the film guide. Then, it is continuously welded at the heating roll pressure bonding part, and a continuous multi-row cylindrical container is made.
The two films are perforated by the perforating roller 5 and moved downward by the claw sprocket upper portion 8 and the claw sprocket lower portion 15.
The cylindrical container 10 is moved downward by a sprocket 15 with pawls, and a plurality of rows of bags can be formed by an overheating fusion iron 14. The bag moves downward by one meal and is filled with processed food. After filling, the bag is sealed with a degassing sealing plate 13, degassed with a degassing pipe 11 and a degassing assembly pipe 12 to be in an excessive oxygen-free state, and then the upper part of the bag is pressure-bonded with a heat fusion iron 14. At the same time, the bottom of the upper cylindrical container is crimped, and the bag moves downward by one serving. By repeating this process, multiple rows of processed food can be packaged continuously.

The two front and rear films 1 pass between the injection filling cylindrical can 2 and the film guide 6 and are continuously pressed by a heating roll to form a cylindrical container.
In FIG. 2, a heating roll is used, but in the case of continuous and intermittent operation, a square bar-shaped or bag-shaped square bar-shaped heating iron is more suitable.

This conveying means extends in the front-rear direction, and forms the lower film sheet into a film container opened upward. Next, a method for packaging processed food according to the present invention based on the above configuration will be described. First, the processed food is placed on an upwardly opened film container that is supported by the transport means and forwarded. Next, the upper surface of the processed food filled in the container is covered with a thermoplastic upper film, and the air inside the film container is sucked and discharged. Next, while maintaining this state, the upper part of the film container is bonded and hermetically sealed. In this way, the processed food in the film container can be held at an appropriate degree of exhaustion.

In FIGS. 1 and 3 to 6, two 30-micron polypropylene films 1 move back and forth in the form of a roll and move downward, a 40 mm diameter cylindrical can 2 for filling and filling, a film guide upper part 3, and the film A plurality of rows of cylindrical containers 10 are continuously formed by the 75 mm diameter roll crimping portions 7 for heating that pass between the 60 mm diameter roll portion 4 for supply and the film guide lower portion 6. . The cylindrical container 10 moves downward by 150 m / m, and is crimped by a heat-sealing iron 14 to form a bag, which is filled with udon noodles from the injection filling cylindrical can 2. The udon noodles filled with 150 g of 8 rows are moved downward at a speed of 150 m / m and 150 mm / 6 sec with respect to one bag, and then sealed by the degassing sealing plate 13. Degassed by the air collecting pipe 12, brought into an appropriate oxygen-free state, and heat-sealed ironing iron 14 heats and adheres the upper opening of the container filled with udon noodles, and simultaneously crimps the upper cylindrical bottom to form a bag. I made it.

  After the upper part of the film bag was pressure-bonded, one serving was moved downward, and the udon noodles were filled into the upper bag from the cylindrical can 2 for pouring and filling. The previous process was repeated and packaged continuously, resulting in 8 rows of packaging. As a result, 80 bags were packed per minute. When this method is used, productivity is improved nearly five times as compared with the conventional method.

In FIG. 1 and FIGS. 7 to 10, two polypropylene films 1 of 30 microns and 50 microns before and after the roll move downward, a 40 mm diameter cylindrical can 2 for injection filling, and a film guide upper part 3; And a 60 mm diameter roll section 4 for supplying the film, and a 60 mm diameter perforating roller 5 and a film guide lower section 6, and a 75 mm diameter roll crimp section 7 for heating on both sides of the lower section. A plurality of rows of cylindrical containers 10 are continuously formed. The cylindrical container 10 moves downward by 150 m / m, and is crimped by a heat-sealing iron 14 to form a bag and is filled with hamburger from the injection filling cylindrical can 2.

The hamburger filled with 8 rows of 150 g moved downward by 150 m / m at a speed of 150 mm / 6 sec and then sealed by the degassing sealing plate 13, degassing pipe 11, degassing Deaerated with the collecting pipe 12, brought into an appropriate oxygen-free state, and the top opening of the container filled with hamburger is heated and adhered by the heat fusion iron 14, and at the same time, the upper cylindrical bottom is crimped into a bag shape. did. After the upper part of the film bag was pressure-bonded, one bag was moved downward, and the upper bag was filled with hamburger from the cylindrical can 2 for pouring and filling. The previous process was repeated, but 6 rows of packaging could be made continuously with a sprocket with pawls without any lateral deviation. This resulted in 80 food bag containers per minute. Productivity also improved more than 5 times compared to conventional packaging equipment. Also, the packaging bag was completely welded at the four corners, and there was no leaky film bag container. Because of the use of films with different thicknesses, the hamburger shape of processed foods was maintained.

  In the same manner as in Example 1, two 30-micron polypropylene films 1 on the front and rear sides move downward, a 40 mm diameter cylindrical can 2 for injection and filling, a film guide upper part 3, and a 60 mm diameter film for supplying the film. Passing between the roll part 4, the 60 mm diameter perforating roller 5 and the film guide lower part 6, 8 rows of cylindrical containers are continuously formed by the 75 mm diameter roll crimping part 7 for heating on both sides of the lower part. 10 is completed. The cylindrical container 10 moves downward by 150 m / m, and is crimped by a heat-sealing iron 14 to form a bag, and eight rows of noodles are simultaneously filled from the cylindrical can 2 for filling and filling.

  As soon as the filling is completed, the degassing sealing plate 13 is closed, and suction starts from the degassing collecting pipe 12 by the exhaust device. Eight rows of the lower bags are sealed simultaneously by pressure bonding of the heat-sealing iron with a degree of exhaust (0.025 Mpa). At the same time, the sealed noodles that are simultaneously crimped to the bottom of the upper cylindrical container move to the lower part, and the upper bag is filled with eight rows of noodles at the same time. Deaeration is started from the deaeration assembly pipe through the inner deaeration pipe 11.

When the degree of exhaustion (0.025 Mpa) is reached, it is pressure sealed with a heat fusion iron. The sealed noodles move downward at a speed of 150 mm / 10 sec, enter the heating tank in the form of 8 horizontal bands, sterilize, cool in the cooling water tank, cut vertically, horizontally, and cut immediately before the container filling machine. Stuffed. Because it was not touched by human hands, it had very few bacteria and had a long shelf life and was delicious.
"Comparative Example 1"

In conventional wrapping machines, it is carried out when cylinders are wrapped with a device (Sanko machinery's high packer) that crimps the bottom with a single film and crimps the bottom, and then crimps the top of the bag and the bottom of the upper tubular container. In order to increase the productivity similar to that in Example 1, it is necessary to increase the capacity (equipment, personnel) by a factor of five, which increases the cost and the manufacturing cost.
In contrast, since the present invention has a plurality of rows for continuous packaging, the labor cost is low, the installation area, power, etc. are less than the production volume, and the manufacturing cost is low. In addition, the present invention can use two different films, and can produce a new product in both shape and quality.
