Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a molded food and a molded food production apparatus used in the method.

  Molded foods such as hamburger, meatballs, and chili cutlets are popular foods for a wide range of ages from children to the elderly because of their soft texture, and are also indispensable for the food service industry and food mass retailers. is there. When producing shaped foods industrially, one of the manufacturing processes is a process of forming a kneaded mixture of, for example, ground meat and minced vegetables. Taking a hamburg as an example, in order to form a rounded oval hamburger full of handmade feeling, in the molding process, it is molded to a substantially constant thickness using a pressure roller, and then on the conveyor belt. A method of bringing a driving roller into contact with the molded product from above is known (see Patent Document 1).

  Further, in addition to the above molding, further molding may be required. Taking a hamburger molded product as an example of a molded food containing minced meat (a minced meat-containing molded product), it is known that when the hamburger molded product is heated, its central part is the part where heat is hardly transmitted. For this reason, when making a hamburger at home, empirically, the center portion is recessed at the time of molding so that heat is surely transmitted to the center portion. By such a device, a hamburger is obtained in which heat passes to the center and gas is smoothly discharged to maintain a desired shape. Similarly, in the case of industrially producing hamburgers, a method of forming a recess at the center of a kneaded molded product in the molding step is also known (see Patent Document 2).

  However, it is difficult to form a recess having a uniform area and a uniform depth in the central portion of the ground meat-containing molded product in the process of industrial production. This is because the position of the recess is shifted from the center of the molded product containing ground meat, or the depth of the recess varies. As in the method disclosed in Patent Document 2, it is possible to form a concave portion having a uniform shape at the center using a mold. However, such a method is limited to manual work at home or in a store, and it is not preferable to include a process using a mold in a mass production process, because this leads to an increase in manufacturing cost accompanying an increase in the process. This is a problem common to molded foods with or without minced meat.

2. Molded food production equipment

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a molded food manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a situation where the ground meat containing molded product flows while being formed from above the traveling lane of FIG.

(1) Schematic structure of apparatus The ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 which is an example of the molded food manufacturing apparatus which concerns on this embodiment is provided with the wrapping machine 2, and is the material of the ground meat processed food which is an example of molded food. It is a device that performs from injection to molding. The ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 preferably includes an inner ingredient input part 3, an outer ingredient input part 4, and a wrapping board 5 constituting the wrapping machine 2, and is unidirectional from below the wrapping board 5. A conveyor 6 is provided. The conveyor 6 includes a belt-like traveling lane 7 for transporting a minced meat-containing molded product (an example of a molded food product) 20 supplied below the baling board 5 in the length direction of the conveyor 6. The ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 is preferably provided with a belt-shaped conveyor belt 9 and a hole forming roller 12 from the position immediately below the packaging board 5 in the conveyor 6 toward the traveling direction of the traveling lane 7. The ball-shaped minced meat-containing molded product 20 supplied from the wrapping board 5 onto the traveling lane 7 has a vertical pressure between the belt-shaped conveyor belt 9 and the traveling lane 7 as the traveling lane 7 advances. And then formed into an oval-shaped ground meat-containing molded product (an example of molded food) 21 and then comes into contact with the rotating hole forming roller 12 and has a plurality of holes in a line shape. (Example of molded food) Moreover, the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 is provided with the operation panel 10 for inputting the operating conditions of the apparatus, receives input from the operation panel 10, and executes the kneading process and the molding process under desired conditions.

It is a component. Moreover, the outer tool material input part 4 is a structure part which inputs the outer tool material which forms the outer side part of the said ball-shaped ground meat containing molded product 20. FIG. The wrapping board 5 includes two disks, and is a component that wraps and molds the inner tool material and the outer tool material by the rotation of the disks. In this embodiment, since the hamburger which is an example of the ground meat processed food has a two-layer structure from the inside to the outside, the ingredients constituting each layer are the inner ingredient feeding part 3 and the outer ingredient feeding part 4 respectively. I am trying to input from. The inner ingredient material introduced from the inner ingredient material introduction part 3 and the outer ingredient material introduced from the outer ingredient material introduction part 4 flow as shown by broken lines I and O in FIG. Then, it is formed into a ball-shaped ground meat containing molded product 20 having a two-layer structure by the packaging machine 5.

  The conveyor 6 is provided with a belt-like traveling lane 7 exposed on the upper surface thereof. The traveling lane 7 is stretched inside and outside the conveyor 6 by a plurality of drive rollers 8, 8, etc., and is unidirectionally (arrow M in the figure) by a motor (not shown) in the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1. Alternatively, the vehicle can travel in both directions including the opposite direction.

  One Heisei-shaped conveyor belt 9 is provided above the traveling lane 7 with a predetermined distance from the traveling lane 7. The belt-shaped conveyor belt 9 preferably has an interval that gradually decreases in the traveling direction of the traveling lane 7. The interval in the vicinity of the outlet of the flat belt conveyor belt 9 is set to the thickness of the oval-shaped ground meat containing molded product 21. For this reason, the ball-shaped ground meat containing molded product 20 is gradually thinned while continuously receiving pressure from the belt-shaped conveyor belt 9 and the traveling lane 7 while passing through the belt-shaped conveyor belt 9. Thus, it is formed into an oval-shaped molded product 21 containing ground meat. The Heisei-shaped conveyor belt 9 may be rotated by driving means such as a motor, but in this embodiment, it is not connected to the driving means and is moved by the traveling lane 7 in a ball-shaped ground meat containing molded product 20. It is comprised so that it can rotate in the arrow S direction by contacting (refer FIG. 1).

  In this embodiment, the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 includes only the Heisei-shaped conveyor belt 9 between the packing board 5 and the hole forming roller 12, but in addition to this, the ball-shaped ground meat You may provide forming members, such as a roller, a conveyor belt, or a wall, for narrowing the width | variety of the containing molded product 20 to the width | variety vicinity of the oval-shaped ground meat containing molded product 21. FIG.

  The operation panel 10 preferably includes a touch panel having a pressing switch mechanism or a capacitive switch mechanism, and various display units. The operation panel 10 is, for example, a component that operates and determines operation conditions such as the stirring speed in the packaging machine 2 and the speed of the traveling lane 7 in addition to the operation on / off switch.

  The hole forming roller 12 is connected to the main body of the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 via the fixed bar 11 so as to float upward from the traveling lane 7. More specifically, the hole forming roller 12 fixes both ends of the shaft 13 passing through the center of the disk 30 to one end side of the fixed bar 11, and the other end of the fixed bar 11 is the main body of the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1. Connected to. The hole forming roller 12 has a side surface of the disk 30 facing the traveling lane 7, and a shaft 13 extending substantially parallel to the width direction of the traveling lane 7 is penetrated in the thickness direction of the disk 30. It has a form that can rotate around the shaft 13.

  The disc 30 includes a plurality of protrusions 31 along the side peripheral surface thereof. The hole forming roller 12 is connected to the main body of the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 at a height that does not allow the tip of the protrusion 31 to contact the traveling lane 7 and can contact the upper surface of the ground meat containing molded product 21. Yes. As the traveling lane 7 progresses, when the oval-shaped ground meat-containing molded product 21 on the lane 7 comes into contact with the protruding portion 31 of the hole forming roller 12, the disk 30 rotates in the direction of arrow R due to the resistance (see FIG. 1). The protrusion 31 opens the hole 23 in the moving direction from above the oval-shaped ground meat containing molded product 21. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, a minced meat-containing molded product 22 having a plurality of holes 23 is formed. In this embodiment, the oval-shaped ground meat containing molded product 21 is conveyed with its major axis direction in the traveling direction of the traveling lane 7. For this reason, the lines of the plurality of holes 23 are formed in the major axis direction of the minced meat-containing molded product 21.

  Thus, the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 is an apparatus that can manufacture the ground meat containing molded product 22 before heating, and the traveling lane 7 that carries the ground meat containing molded products 20, 21, and 22, and the traveling lane 7 traveling. On the traveling lane 7 that includes at least the hole forming roller 12 that is fixed in the direction of the direction and that has the protrusion 31 on the outer periphery, and carries the ground meat-containing molded product 21, from the direction opposite to the traveling direction of the ground meat-containing molded product 21. The hole forming roller 12 is brought into contact, and by rotation of the hole forming roller 12, a line composed of a plurality of holes 23 is formed in the ground meat containing molded product 21 so as to pass through the center in plan view of the ground meat containing molded product 21. It is a device to do. By using the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 having such a configuration, it is possible to provide a ground meat processed food with a novel form that allows heat to be transmitted to the central portion at low cost.

  Further, since the hole forming roller 12 includes a plurality of protrusions 31 on the outer peripheral surface of one disk 30, the disk 30 of the hole forming roller 12 is rotated on the moving meat containing molded product 21. The plurality of holes 23 can be easily formed in a line shape simply by making them. Further, the ground meat processed food manufacturing apparatus 1 is equipped with a wrapping machine 2, and the ground meat containing molded product 20 is placed between the wrapping machine 2 and a position where the ground meat containing molded product 21 is brought into contact with the hole forming roller 12. At least a molding member (flat belt conveyor belt 9) for flat molding is provided. For this reason, the plurality of holes 23 can be formed after the outer shape of the ground meat-containing molded product 20 supplied from the baling machine 2 onto the traveling lane 7 has been formed. Accordingly, since the plurality of holes 23 are not affected by the subsequent molding, the next step (for example, a freezing step) is performed while maintaining the shape and size of the holes 23 formed by the hole forming roller 12. ).

3. Method for Producing Shaped Food The method for producing a shaped food according to this embodiment is such that, in the molding process of the ground meat containing molded product 21 that is the molded food before heating, the ground meat containing molded product 21 is on the path for carrying the ground meat containing molded product 21. From the direction opposite to the traveling direction of 21, the hole forming roller 12 having the protruding portion 31 on the outer periphery is brought into contact, and the rotation of the hole forming roller 12 passes through the center in the plan view of the ground meat containing molded product 21. In this method, a line composed of a plurality of holes 23 is formed in the ground meat containing molded product 21.

  In this manufacturing method, the hole forming roller 12 having a plurality of protrusions 31 on the outer peripheral surface of one disk 30 is used. Furthermore, this manufacturing method includes a first molding step in which the minced meat-containing molded product 20 is molded into a flat shape by applying the flat belt-shaped conveyor belt 9 from above, and after the first molding step, hole formation is performed. A plurality of holes 23 are formed using the roller 12.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing a state in which a plurality of hole lines are formed on the oval ground meat-containing molded product by the hole forming roller.

  In this embodiment, the tip of the protruding portion 31 of the hole forming roller 12 is present at a distance Q from the upper surface of the traveling lane 7. Thus, the plurality of holes 23 formed in the minced meat-containing molded product 22 can be formed to a depth that does not penetrate in the thickness direction of the minced meat-containing molded product 22. The distance Q can be appropriately changed according to the thickness of the minced meat-containing molded product 21. In this embodiment, the distance Q is preferably 2 to 8 mm, and more preferably 3 to 6 mm. The length (L) of the protrusion 31 is preferably shorter than the thickness (T) of the minced meat-containing molded product 21. In this embodiment, the length L is preferably 9 to 17 mm, more preferably 11 to 15 mm. The thickness T is preferably 11 to 20 mm, more preferably 13 to 18 mm.

  FIG. 4 is a plan view (4A) of a ground meat-containing molded product in which a plurality of holes are formed by the method for manufacturing molded food according to this embodiment, and a plan view for explaining the formation status of the plurality of holes. The KK line sectional view (4B) is shown, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (4A), in this embodiment, the minced meat-containing molded product 22 includes six holes 23 in the major axis direction. The hole forming roller 12 includes a disk 30 that rotates by resistance when it comes into contact with the ground meat containing molded product 21 on the traveling lane 7. For this reason, the disc 30 includes six protrusions 31 in the length of the outer peripheral surface corresponding to the length in the major axis direction of the minced meat-containing molded product 22. The number and diameter of the holes 23 formed in the minced meat-containing molded product 22 are not particularly limited, and the minced meat-containing molded product 22 is not divided in the major axis direction passing through the center thereof, and when baked, the minced meat-containing molded product 22 is obtained. Any number and diameter may be used as long as the heat passes to the center. In this embodiment, the number and diameter of the holes 23 are selected so that the diameter of the holes 23 and the distance between two adjacent holes 23 are substantially the same. For example, in the case of a hamburger having the largest distribution size, when six holes 23 are formed in the major axis direction of the hamburger and it is desired to make the interval between the two holes 23 and the diameter of the hole 23 substantially equal to each other. The hole forming roller 12 preferably has a diameter of the disk 30 constituting the hole 30 of 60 to 90 mm, more preferably 65 to 85 mm; a diameter of the protrusion 31 is preferably 7 to 13 mm, and more preferably 9 to 11 mm.

The center (X) in plan view of the minced meat-containing molded product 22 is included in the region A1-B1-C1-D1. The center (X) is ideally positioned at each center in the width direction and the length direction of the region A1-B1-C1-D1. However, as will be described later, the relationship between the lines of the plurality of holes 23 and the center (X) may not be such an ideal relationship.

  The depth (D) of the hole 23 formed from the surface of the minced meat-containing molded product 22 toward the inside is not particularly limited, but is preferably half the thickness (T) of the minced meat-containing molded product 22. It is deeper than the position (H). This is because, when the plurality of holes 23 are formed to a depth exceeding the center in the thickness direction of the minced meat-containing molded product 22, when the minced meat-containing molded product 22 is baked, heat easily passes to the center. . Further, the depth (D) of the hole 23 is more preferably T / 2 <D <T in relation to the thickness (T) of the minced meat-containing molded product 22. In addition to facilitating the passage of heat to the center of the minced meat-containing molded product 22, from the viewpoint of preventing the minced meat-containing molded product 22 from splitting in half from the line of the holes 23 in the process after the production of the minced meat-containing molded product 22. It is.

This is an example of deviating from the center in the width direction. Further, another modification shown in FIG. 5 (5B) is included in a region A3-B3-C3-D3 in which the center X in the plan view of the minced meat-containing molded product 22 is constituted by a line of a plurality of holes 23. In this example, the line is formed obliquely with respect to the major axis of the minced meat-containing molded product 22 at the center in the width direction of the region. Thus, even if the line constituted by the plurality of holes 23 does not coincide with the major axis of the minced meat-containing molded product 22, the center X is included in the region A2-B2-C2-D2 or A3-B3-C3-D3. In this case, the object of the present invention can be achieved.

  Still another modification shown in FIG. 5 (5C) is an example in which the minced meat-containing molded product 22 is moved in the minor axis direction to form a line of a plurality of holes 23 in the minor axis direction. Even in this case, the object of the present invention can be achieved when the region A4-B4-C4-D4 configured by the line includes the center X in the plan view of the minced meat-containing molded product 22.

  The above (5A), (5B) and (5C) may be combined with each other. For example, in (5B) above, the center (X) in plan view of the ground meat containing molded product 22 is the region as in (5A) above. You may remove | deviate from the width direction center of A2-B2-C2-D2. In (5C) above, the center (X) in plan view of the ground meat containing molded product 22 may be deviated from the center in the width direction of the region A4-B4-C4-D4. Furthermore, in the above (5C), the center X in plan view of the minced meat-containing molded product 22 is included in the region A4-B4-C4-D4 formed by the lines of the plurality of holes 23, and the width of the region Although in the center of the direction, the line may be formed obliquely with respect to the minor axis of the minced meat-containing molded product 22.
