Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a food product in which two or more kinds of food materials are concentrically wound, and an apparatus for manufacturing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a food product in which two or more kinds of food materials are wrapped in a substantially concentric manner, there is a cheese-containing dust ring having cheese formed in a concentric shape inside a cylindrical shaving (for example, Kaihei 7-23747). As shown in FIGS. 10 (a), (b) and (c), the chikuwa of the prior art described above has a rectangular cheese sheet (32) of a semi-solid cheese material on a rectangular ground sheet (32). 33) is piled up, and this is wrapped around a skewer (34) and baked to manufacture.

As shown in FIG. 10 (d), the cut surface of the circular ring obtained by this conventional manufacturing method becomes a state in which the cheese is wound in a "no" shape, which is not a true concentric circle. It was something I couldn't say. Also, depending on the position where the cheese sheet is placed with respect to the rectangular ground sheet, the shape of the "no" of the cheese in the cross section of the chimpanzee will also be different,
It is difficult to obtain a product having a certain aesthetic appearance, and the work of winding the surimi sheet and the cheese sheet around a skewer is a manual work and is not efficient.

[0004] On the other hand, conventionally, a chimpanzee manufacturing apparatus has generally been a method in which the ground grit is wound around a rotating skewer, but this is not a method in which two or more kinds of food materials are concentrically wound, and two kinds are also used. The aesthetics of the above-mentioned multi-layered product and the work efficiency of the product on a skewer were not considered.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the object of the present invention is to have a certain aesthetic appearance in which two or more kinds of food materials are wound in a substantially concentric manner and the cross-sections of different kinds of food materials show no variation in the pattern shape. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent concentric rolled food product, and to reduce the size of the device and simplify the structure of the device for producing the food product.

[0006]

The present invention has the following structure in order to solve the above problems. The present invention comprises a step of forming two or more food materials into a substantially rectangular shape,
While sequentially transporting the molded product in a substantially horizontal direction by the transporting device, including a step of sequentially winding the multilayered product on a skewer provided on the transporting device so as to be rotatable and vertically movable, in the molding process, The concentric shape is characterized in that the dimension of the molded product in the transport direction is sequentially made substantially equal to the outer peripheral length of the skewer and the outer peripheral length of the molded product wound inside, according to the transport order of the molded product. It is a method of manufacturing rolled food.

Further, according to the present invention, a means for forming two or more food materials into a substantially rectangular shape, a means for sequentially conveying the formed products formed by the forming means in a substantially horizontal direction, and a means for conveying the formed food on the conveying means. , A skewer for sequentially winding the molded product in multiple layers, and a skewer supporting means for rotatably and vertically moving the skewer are provided, and the molding means measures the dimension of the molded product in the conveying direction.
An apparatus for producing concentric roll foods, comprising means for sequentially forming the outer peripheral length of the skewer and the outer peripheral length of the molded article wound inside in accordance with the conveying order.

Explaining the present invention, the present invention is advantageous for manufacturing a ring in which cheese is concentrically arranged inside, and in this case, a rectangular shaped pickle, a cheese and a pickle are also formed. Although the ingredients are sequentially conveyed and wound on the skewers in this order, the combination of the ingredients of the food used in the present invention is not particularly limited to these. The food material that can be used in the present invention is required to be capable of adhering to the skewer and the adjoining food material at the time of wrapping, but the food material to be combined does not have to adhere itself, but when wrapped. ,
It can be used as long as it can adhere to adjacent food materials,
If the adjacent food material does not have adhesiveness, a food grade paste or the like may be applied for use.

Examples of food materials that can be used in the present invention include surimi of fish meat, livestock meat, chicken, etc., a paste containing tuna as a main component, a paste containing egg as a main component,
Examples include paste-like substances such as potatoes containing starch as a main component, cheese, seaweed, and the like, and two or more kinds of these may be appropriately combined and used. Further, even food materials of the same kind may be prepared by changing the color and flavor of the material, forming each into a rectangular shape, and winding the formed product in order. Further, the number of layers of the food material to be wrapped may be two layers, three layers, four layers or more, and further, the food material is formed by winding the food material, heating and cooking, and pulling out the skewers. It is also possible to fill or insert other food ingredients into the hole.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, the skewers are sequentially wound on the skewer according to the conveying order of the molded articles.
In order to concentrically wind these molded products, the dimension of the molded product in the transport direction in the molding step is first adjusted to the outer peripheral length of the skewer according to the transport order of the molded products, that is, the winding order, and then sequentially. It is necessary to mold so that the peripheral length of the molded article wound adjacent to the inside is equal. Such size adjustment is calculated by considering the outer peripheral length of the skewer and the thickness of the layer of the molded article to be wound, or is determined by actually winding the skewer on the skewer and determining the dimension of the molded article in the conveying direction. To do.

Further, in the present invention, any molding means can be applied as long as the molding means is adjusted in size as described above, for example, various molding means such as drum molding, form molding or extrusion molding. Is applicable.
Further, since the molded product in the present invention is wound around the skewer by the relative movement of the skewer and the conveying means, if the skewer is pressed downward with a constant pressing force, the skewer is rotated particularly by the driving force. Even if it does not make it possible, two or more rectangular food materials can be wrapped around the skewer.

[0012]

In the present invention, when two or more food materials are formed into a rectangular shape, the dimensions of the formed articles in the conveying direction are sequentially determined by the outer peripheral length of the skewer and the outer peripheral length of the molded article wound inside. Since it is molded to be equal to
The cross-section of the food product obtained according to the present invention has a beautiful concentric shape, and each of the above-mentioned molded products is sequentially conveyed, and the winding is performed only when the skewers come into contact with each other. Since the next winding is performed after the completion of the winding, the cross section of the obtained rolled food always shows the pattern shape of a different kind of food material regardless of the position interval of the molded product placed on the conveying means. The pattern of the cross-section is not different from that in the case of taking out and winding the surimi sheet and cheese in a pile in the prior art. Furthermore, in the present invention, various food materials can be used, and a rolled food product having various aesthetics and taste can be provided.

On the other hand, in the apparatus of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned function, a conveying means such as a belt conveyor for horizontally conveying the dust ring is used, and two or more kinds of conveying means are used. The appearance of the multi-layered food and the work of winding it on the skewers can be performed efficiently, and the size of the entire device is such that two or more kinds of food material can be wound in multiple layers, By supporting it so that it can rotate and move up and down, it can be made relatively small. Also, the skewer supporting means has a simple structure.
