DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a suction dehydrator used for dehydrating a water-containing material into a thin (or sheet) material layer, and a cord and a suction dehydrator used therefor. . These are particularly suitable for use as a part of a sheet-like food production apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Methods for producing sheet-like foods include, for example, a papermaking method, a heat coagulation method, and a thermocompression bonding method, each having advantages and disadvantages. The method using the papermaking method is described in, for example,
No. 16961. According to the method disclosed in this publication, shredded vegetables are mixed with water and a suitable binder (for example, wheat or seaweed) to prepare a mixture. After drying, it is dried to form sheet food.

[0003] Conventionally used papermaking machines are usually those used in nori laminating machines. The papermaking apparatus includes a blind (sudare) that carries the mixed food material and roughly removes the moisture of the mixed food material by flowing out the water, a shutter or frame that is positioned on the blind and limits the spread of the mixed food material, A suction dehydrator used to absorb the water contained in the mixed ingredients in combination with a rota coming in with the ingredients on, and a combination in combination with a rota moving with the mixed ingredients on It is provided with a suction dehydrator for pressing to press the food material and to extract as much moisture remaining in the food material as possible. Here, a combination of this screen and one or both of these dehydrating boards is used as a suction dehydrating apparatus.

Conventionally, a reed or a bamboo cross bar has been used for the mat, but as is well known, at present, a plastic-made columnar cross bar having a diameter of about 2 mm such as vinyl is knitted with a knitting yarn. The structure is fixed to each other. As is well known, both suction dehydrators have a structure using a sponge, that is, a three-layer structure of a sponge, a cloth, and a sponge.
And, as is well known, the suction dewatering device has a mechanism in which the sponge surface of the suction dehydration board is brought into contact with a viscous mixed food material containing water placed on the screen and sucks up the water according to the water absorbing power of the sponge. Has become.

[0005]

However, the conventional blind is
In particular, viscous mixed ingredients adhere to the knitting yarn part, and when the sheet-like food is peeled off from the mat after drying, holes are opened in the food sheet and the commercial value is lost, so the production yield is poor. There was a problem.

Also, the sponge of the suction dehydrator has poor drainage of the sucked water and retains water. Further, foods such as vegetables adhere to the sponge, which hinders the spread of the foods in a thin film. Therefore, vegetable juices and the like remain absorbed in the sponge, and vegetable ingredients remain attached to the surface of the sponge. Any irregular or perforated products may result in sheet-like food products that have no commercial value in any case.Therefore, sheet food products are manufactured using such a conventional suction dehydrator. However, there is a problem that the production yield is poor. In addition, since water cannot be removed from the food, the food spreads irregularly when pressed with a suction suction dehydrator for pressing. To produce a product, cut out only the central part of the spread food and remove the peripheral part. Had to be discarded, and the use of foodstuffs was wasteful.

[0007] Therefore, conventionally, dehydration of foodstuffs can be performed more reliably and promptly, and propagation of harmful bacteria and germs can be suppressed.
In addition, there has been a demand for the development of a suction dehydrator having a structure to which foodstuffs do not adhere.

[0008] Conventionally, it has been desired to develop a mat having a structure in which the sheet-like food is easily and easily peeled off from the mat when the sheet-form food is dried so that no hole is formed in the food sheet.

Therefore, it has been desired to provide a suction dehydrator having a novel structure with a good production yield by combining such a screen and a suction dehydrator.

[0010]

According to the present invention, there is provided a suction / dehydration apparatus including a cord and a suction / dehydration board, wherein at least the surface of the knitting yarn of the cord is provided with a glue film, Is characterized by having a palm fiber layer, a gauze layer, and a synthetic cotton layer containing a far-infrared radiating ceramic provided therebetween.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a hemp yarn provided with a glue coat on the surface between a palm fiber layer and a synthetic cotton layer or between a gauze layer and a synthetic cotton layer. Preferably, a woven mesh layer is provided.

[0012]

[Function] If the mat used in this device has the above-mentioned structure, the glue film does not adhere to the food material, so when dried as a sheet-shaped food, the food sheet can be easily cut from the mat without making holes in it. It can be easily peeled off.

[0013] The coconut fiber layer of the suction dehydrator used in this device functions as a cushion and has a function of suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria. The synthetic cotton used here has a function of absorbing moisture and immediately draining the absorbed moisture, and the far infrared rays emitted by the synthetic cotton have a bactericidal action. Moreover, the hemp woven mesh has a property of removing harmful bacteria invading from the outside and absorbing moisture. The gauze comes into direct contact with the food material and sucks up water including vegetable juice and the like from the food material.

Therefore, this suction dehydrator performs suction dehydration on the sheet-like food material sent one after another, but the moisture absorbed by the gauze is directly sucked up with synthetic cotton and sterilized. The sucked-up moisture is immediately absorbed by the well-drained coconut fiber layer and evaporates.
Therefore, there is no possibility that the water sucked up at the time of the previous dehydration will adhere to this sheet-like food material at the time of the next dehydration of the sheet-like food material. In addition, since the efficiency of sucking and diverging is good, the suction dehydrator is easy to dry, so that propagation of harmful bacteria and various bacteria in the suction dehydrator can be suppressed to a level that does not hinder commercialization.

[0015] When a hemp woven mesh layer is provided, this layer prevents bacteria from entering the gauze side from the side opposite to the screen,
In addition, since it has a property of absorbing moisture from the screen, the effect of absorbing moisture from the sheet-like food containing moisture can be further enhanced. Even if this hemp woven mesh layer is provided between the palm fiber layer and the synthetic cotton layer or between the gauze layer and the synthetic cotton layer, Water can be effectively absorbed and extracted, and moreover, the invasion of harmful bacteria from the suction dehydrator to the food can be suppressed.

[0016] Therefore, the suction dehydrator combined with the screen and the suction dehydrator immediately dries, so that there is no danger of harmful bacteria and germs being propagated by itself, and the sheets sent one after another. Dehydration of the food can be performed reliably.

Further, since the water can be sufficiently sucked up from the food material by the suction / dehydration board, even if water remains in the food material, when the food material is pressed, the food material becomes irregular due to the water. It does not spread and the overall planar shape is in order. Therefore, the amount of the food to be removed by cutting the sheet-shaped food, that is, the amount of wasted food is also significantly reduced as compared with the related art.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a suction dehydrator, whose vertical and horizontal planar size (the size of the surface facing the screen) is, for example, 2
It is 1 cm × 23 cm. The suction dehydrator 20 is fixed to a stainless steel plate 22 at an upper portion, and a grip portion 24 is welded to the stainless steel plate 22. The internal structure of the suction dehydrator 20 will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the glue film.
It is the schematic which showed a part of screen as a cross section. This cross section is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the horizontal bar 14 cut in a direction along the extending direction thereof. In the figure, the knitting yarn 16 appears in a cross section. The blind 12 is provided with a glue coating 30 on at least the surface of the knitting yarn 16 of the blind 12. This glue coat 3
A thickness of 0 may be appropriate. As a method of providing the glue coat 30, usually, the blind 12 itself may be dipped in glue liquid. Therefore, there is no problem even if the glue film is formed on the screen other than the surface of the knitting yarn 16. Further, the glue liquid may be applied to the knitting yarn 16 with a brush or the like or to the surface of the mat. The gripping part 24 is used to cause the suction dehydrator 20 to come into contact with and detach from the food 18 on the screen 12.
This is a part to be coupled to a mechanism for driving the zero.

Next, the structure of the suction dehydrator 20 will be described. In addition, the stainless steel plate 2
2 and the grip portion 24 may be included. However, in the following embodiments, the suction dehydrator 20 is considered as a part that actually performs the function of suction dehydration of water.

FIG. 3 shows that the suction dehydrator 20 is connected to the coconut fiber layer 21.
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an example of a structure in which the gauze layer 220 includes a gauze layer 220 and a synthetic cotton layer (also referred to as a synthetic cotton layer) 230 containing far-infrared radiation ceramics provided therebetween. The part is shown as a sectional view. Palm fiber layer 2
Numeral 10 is a bundle of palm fibers having a thickness of about 5 cm. The synthetic cotton layer 230 is made of polyester fiber containing ceramics that emit far-infrared rays, sold by Homestar Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Yokohama City) under the product name of "Sun Wata" or "Mysterious Wata". It is in the shape. This ceramic is processed by a special method using alumina or silica ceramics using platinum as a catalyst, and is subjected to a living temperature range including room temperature (for example, 0 ° C. to 35 ° C.).
° C) to emit a large amount of far infrared rays. The thickness of the synthetic cotton is set to about 5 mm and the palm fiber layer 21 is formed.
0 is provided below. The gauze layer 220 is usually made of cotton and has a thickness of about 0.5 mm. In this embodiment, the gauze layer 220 is provided so as to surround the palm fiber layer 210 and the synthetic cotton layer 230 with the gauze layer 220.
In addition, in the figure, 26 is a belt-shaped stainless steel fastener,
The coconut fiber layer 210 is appropriately fixed on the surface of the stainless steel plate 22 through a hole provided in the stainless steel plate 22 through the inside of the coconut fiber layer 210.

With this structure, the lowermost gauze layer 22
When 0 comes into contact with the food, the gauze layer 220 absorbs water such as vegetable juice contained in the food. The absorbed moisture is sucked up by the synthetic cotton layer 230, and since the synthetic cotton has good drainage, the moisture is absorbed by the well-drained coconut fiber layer 210 and evaporated therefrom. Therefore, there is no possibility that the water once absorbed returns to the lower side through the lowermost gauze layer. Further, since almost no water remains in the suction dehydrator, propagation of harmful bacteria and germs can be suppressed. In addition, since the synthetic cotton layer has a bactericidal action, the propagation of harmful bacteria and germs can be prevented. Therefore, even if the foodstuff sent next is suctioned and dehydrated using this suction dehydration board, there is almost no risk that the moisture absorbed last time will be transferred to the foodstuff this time.

FIGS. 4A and 4B are partial cross-sectional views for explaining a modified example of the suction dehydrator. This embodiment has a structure in which a hemp woven mesh layer is added to the structure of the embodiment of FIG. 3 described above, and a glue coat (shown in the figure) is provided between the palm fiber layer 210 and the synthetic cotton layer 230. No.) is provided (FIG. 4A), or a hemp yarn provided with a glue coat on the surface between the gauze layer 220 and the synthetic cotton layer 230. This is a structure provided with a woven mesh layer (FIG. 4B). In the figure,
A hemp woven mesh having a glue coat on the surface is indicated by 240. This may be formed by soaking the hemp woven net in glue. Alternatively, a glue film may be formed by an appropriate method such as applying glue to a hemp woven mesh using a brush or the like.
The thickness of the hemp woven mesh layer 240 is about 0.5 mm. As described above, such a hemp yarn mesh 240 prevents invasion of harmful bacteria and germs from the outside to the gauze 220 side,
Moreover, it has a property of good absorption. Therefore, FIG.
In the case of the structure (A), moisture can be quickly absorbed from the synthetic cotton layer 230 and transferred to the palm fiber layer 210. In the structure of FIG. 4B, the gauze layer 2
Moisture can be quickly transferred from 20 to the synthetic cotton layer 230. In the structure of FIGS. 4A and 4B, the structure of FIG. 4A has a better effect of absorbing and transferring moisture and a greater effect of preventing harmful bacteria and the like from entering. Therefore, this structure is more preferable.

In the above-described embodiment, the structure is such that another layer is wrapped by the gauze layer. However, the present invention is not limited to this structure. If the lowermost layer has a gauze layer, the gauze layer is provided. The purpose can be achieved.

[0026]

As is clear from the above description, since the mat of the present invention has a glue film, when the sheet food is dried, the sheet food is easily and easily peeled off from the mat. It has a unique effect that has not been seen before, such that holes are not formed in the food sheet.

Further, according to the suction dehydrator of the present invention, a three-layer structure of a gauze layer, a synthetic cotton layer, and a coconut fiber layer is provided, or between the gauze layer and the synthetic cotton layer, or between the synthetic cotton layer and the coconut layer. A four-layer structure in which a hemp woven mesh layer having a glue coat formed on the surface is additionally provided between the fiber layer and the fiber layer. With such a three-layer or four-layer structure, dehydration of food can be performed more reliably and quickly, harmful bacteria and germs can be prevented from growing, and the food can be prevented from adhering.

Therefore, the suction dehydrator of the present invention, which combines such a screen with a suction dehydrator, has a higher production yield than the conventional one.
