  The spray-type fried food production apparatus as described in Patent Document 1 does not require an oil tank for storing a large amount of oil in the apparatus, and can be downsized and continuously fried. It is efficient because cooking can be performed.

  However, when trying to cook fried foods such as fried chicken, for example, the raw ingredients are coated with highly sticky clothing materials with various spice seasonings added to the flour. When transported on a belt conveyor, highly sticky clothing material adheres to the mesh of the belt conveyor, resulting in the shape of the final fried food or sticking to the belt conveyor, making it difficult to remove May cause troubles.

  Therefore, the problem of the present invention is to prevent the adhering to the mesh of the belt conveyor and prevent the above disadvantages in the spray-type fried food manufacturing apparatus, even if the raw food material has a highly adhesive clothing material. There is in doing so.

  In order to solve this problem, the present invention according to claim 1 is provided with a mesh-like food conveying belt conveyor for conveying raw material to be cooked to fried food from the food supply station to the food outlet station, and in the middle of the conveyance In a spray-type fried food production device that injects high-temperature oil from an oil injection nozzle to the raw material ingredients of the food, the food supply station has a high temperature up to a predetermined level that exceeds the ingredients conveying surface by the ingredients conveying belt conveyor An oil pan for storing the oil is provided, and the raw material ingredients supplied to the ingredient supply station are transported by the ingredient conveyor belt conveyor and pre-fried for a short time with the hot oil contained in the oil pan. It is configured as described above.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the fried food manufacturing apparatus according to the first aspect, a filtration belt conveyor provided below the food conveying belt conveyor and the oil injection nozzle and driven to rotate in a predetermined direction, and a filtration belt Oil storage tank for storing oil falling through the conveyor, powder storage tank for storing powdery material that does not pass through the filtration belt conveyor, and oil injection nozzle for oil stored in the oil storage tank And an oil circulation path for supplying the oil pan to maintain the predetermined level.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the fried food manufacturing apparatus according to the first or second aspect, the oil circulation path is provided with a heater for heating the oil.

  According to the fried food manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, even in the case where a raw material with a sticky clothing material such as fried chicken is used in a spray type fried food manufacturing apparatus, a food supply station In addition, it is transported by a belt conveyor while being immersed in oil in an oil pan for a short time and preliminary fried cooking is performed, so that it does not adhere to the mesh of the belt conveyor and produces a fried food that does not lose its shape. The effect that it can be obtained.

  A fried food production apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This fried food manufacturing apparatus 10 includes a food conveying belt conveyor 11 that conveys a raw material to be cooked into fried food. The food conveyor belt conveyor 11 is stretched over a driving roller 12 and guide rollers 13a to 13e that are rotationally driven in the direction of an arrow by a driving source such as a motor (not shown), and the raw material food 16 supplied to the food supply station 14 is supplied to the food outlet. It is conveyed toward the station 15 in the arrow X direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 1). Reference numeral 17 denotes a belt receiving rail, and a food conveying belt conveyor 11 moves horizontally on the belt receiving rail to provide a horizontal conveying surface for the raw material food 16.

  Hot oil is continuously or intermittently sprayed on the raw material ingredients 16 conveyed in the X direction on the horizontal conveying surface by the food conveying belt conveyor 11 above and below the horizontal conveying surface provided by the belt receiving rail 17. Oil injection nozzles 18a and 18b are provided. As a result, the raw material 16 is fried and cooked to obtain the desired fried food. The cooked fried food 19 is accommodated in a fried food container (not shown) from the exit station 15 on the belt receiving rail 20 via the shooter 21.

  The food supply station 14 is provided with an oil pan 22 for pre-fried cooking of the raw material food 16. The oil pan 22 contains the oil 23 having the same high temperature as the oil jetted from the oil jet nozzles 18 a and 18 b up to a level 23 a beyond the food conveying surface of the food conveying belt conveyor 11. Therefore, the raw material ingredients 16 supplied on the ingredient conveyance surface by the ingredient conveyance belt conveyor 11 at the ingredient supply station 14 are subjected to a short preliminary fried cooking by the high temperature oil 23 accommodated in the oil pan 22. Become.

  For example, when fried food such as fried chicken is to be cooked, the raw material ingredients 16 are coated with a highly sticky garment made by adding various spice seasonings to the flour. When transported by the conveyor 11, the highly adhesive clothing material adheres to the mesh of the food transport belt conveyor 11, and the fried food 19 finally obtained is deformed, or at the exit station 15 the food transport belt conveyor 11. It may stick to the shooter 21 and cause troubles such as difficult transfer to the shooter 21. However, according to this fried food manufacturing apparatus 10, since the raw material ingredients 16 supplied to the ingredient supply station 14 are immersed in the oil of the oil pan 21 and preliminarily fried and cooked, a highly sticky clothing material is attached. Even if it has, it is prevented from adhering to the mesh of the food conveyance belt conveyor 11, and there exists an advantage which does not produce the above-mentioned trouble.

  Returning to FIG. 1, an oil collecting pan 24 is provided below the food conveying belt conveyor 11 and the oil injection nozzles 18a and 18b, and a filtration belt conveyor 25 is provided below the outlet 24a. The filtration belt conveyor 25 is made of, for example, a 1 mm × 1 mm mesh belt, and is spanned between a driving roller 26 and a guide roller 27 that are rotationally driven by a driving source (not shown) such as a motor, and is in the direction of arrow Y (FIG. 1). Rotate in the clockwise direction. The filtration belt conveyor 25 is accommodated in the filtration chamber 28, and an oil storage tank 29 is provided below the outlet 28 a, and a powdery substance storage tank 30 is provided below the outlet end in the moving direction Y of the filtration belt conveyor 25. Provided.

  In the above configuration, the oil jetted from the upper and lower oil jet nozzles 18a and 18b is used to fry and cook the raw material ingredients 16 in the middle of being conveyed by the ingredient conveyor belt conveyor 11, but most of them are directly downward. It passes through the mesh of the food conveyor belt conveyor 11 that falls and returns from the food outlet station 15 toward the food supply station 14 and is collected in the oil collecting pan 24. At this time, if a substantially dry powdery material such as bread crumbs or wheat flour adheres to the raw material ingredients 16 as a clothing material, a part of the powder is received when subjected to pressure by oil injection from the oil injection nozzles 18a and 18b. It peels off and falls to the oil collecting pan 24 together with the oil. Part of the raw material food 16 itself may be peeled off, and in this case, this also falls into the oil collecting pan 24.

  The oil containing the powdery substance 31 falls from the outlet 24 a of the oil collecting pan 24 and is subjected to a filtration process by the filtration belt conveyor 25. Since the oil passes through the mesh of the filtration belt conveyor 25 and falls as it is, it falls from the outlet 28 a of the filtration chamber 28 and is collected in the oil storage tank 29. On the other hand, the powdery material having a size that cannot pass through the mesh of the filtration belt conveyor 25 is conveyed in the Y direction while being deposited on the filtration belt conveyor 25, falls from the outlet thereof, and is collected in the powdery material storage tank 30. The

  The oil 32 collected in the oil storage tank 29 is supplied to the oil injection nozzles 18a and 18b via the pump 33 and reused. Moreover, it is supplied also to the oil pan 22 which stores the oil 23 for fried and cooking the raw material ingredients 16, and always maintains the predetermined level 23a. Since both the oil jetted from the oil jet nozzles 18a and 18b and the oil 23 stored in the oil pan 22 must be at a high temperature necessary for frying and cooking the raw material 16, the oil circulation path 34 has a heater 35. Is provided.
