In the manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 or 2,
In order to manufacture a crab-like kamaboko, it is an apparatus for heating a band-shaped fish meat kneaded product at a stage before making a cut in the band-shaped fish meat kneaded product.

In the present invention, the band-shaped food is not limited to a band-shaped food in the state of a final product, but also refers to a band-shaped food only in a state of an intermediate product.

In the present invention, the water-permeable film may be any film-like or sheet-like material having the property of absorbing moisture, such as cellophane, paper, cloth, non-woven fabric, etc. Various film materials and sheet materials called hydrophilic films, water-absorbing films, and water-retentive films can be used, and these are collectively referred to as water-permeable films. One water-permeable film may be used, or two or more water-permeable films may be overlapped. When two or more water-permeable films are stacked, different kinds of water-permeable films may be used.

[0015]

In the apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the roller-like electrodes constituting the electrode array rotate simultaneously in a predetermined direction, the water-permeable film hung on the electrode array also runs in a predetermined direction. Will be. And the water-permeable blowing
Since space on Lum is open, food material having a viscosity such as fish meat surimi, if it is supplied to the strip on the water-permeable film at one side of the electrode column by the supply means, the band food material permeability When the film is placed on the conductive film, it moves in the direction in which the roller-shaped electrodes are arranged as the water-permeable film travels. Here, since the viscous belt-shaped food material contains a large amount of water at the stage before heating, the water-permeable film is impregnated with the water containing the food material's salt, thereby imparting conductivity. Alternatively, conductivity is imparted to the water-permeable film separately by previously containing water. And between each roller-shaped electrode , that is, each roller-shaped electrode
If you add the voltage between the rollers form electrodes adjacent to each other in the direction of arrangement of, from the roller-shaped electrode through the water-permeable film, along the running direction in a strip food material on permeable film current flows, the food material It generates heat due to the electrical resistance of the device. That is, energization heating by so-called Joule heat is performed. According to such electric heating, heat is generated from the inside of the band-shaped food material by its electric resistance, so that the heating rate is much higher than in the case of heating with high-temperature steam from the outside as in a conventional steamer. The time required for heating is also reduced. As a result, if the line speed is the same, the length of the heating equipment can be significantly reduced. According to experiments conducted by the present inventors, the time required for heating can be reduced to half or less as compared with a conventional general steamer, and as a result, the length of the heating equipment can be reduced to less than half the conventional length. It is known.

In the case of the device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the water-permeable film itself, which is located on the electrode row and whose upper space is open, is caused to travel in the direction in which the electrodes are arranged by the traveling drive means. Therefore, if a food material such as fish meat surimi is supplied in a strip shape on the water-permeable film at one end of the electrode array, the band-shaped food material is placed on the water-permeable film in the same manner as described above, together with the water-permeable film. It will move in the direction in which the electrodes are arranged. Next door in the direction of arrangement of electrodes And
When a voltage is applied between each pair of electrodes, the belt-like food material is transferred from the electrodes to the belt-like food material in the running direction through the water-permeable film in the same manner as described above.
Along current flows, heated by conduction Joule heat is made.

If the cooling means is provided as described in claim 5, it is possible to immediately cool the band-shaped food material which has reached a predetermined temperature by conducting the electric current. Good texture can be obtained.
