JP3909393B2 - Oily content removal equipment for deep-fried food products - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing the oily content of a deep-fried product, and in particular, a product fried by a fryer is accommodated in a housing, and the oily content adhering to the outer surface of the product is removed by high-speed rotation and hot air. The present invention relates to a device for forcibly removing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, with the increase in diet and healthy orientation, there has been a demand for removal of oily content from fried foods.
[0003]
Deep-fried products such as tonkatsu, fried tempura, fried oil, fried croquette, etc. produced in a food processing factory are fried with high-temperature cooking oil, and then conveyed by a conveyor or the like and packed in a bag or box. At this time, a large amount of edible oil is attached to the outer surface of the fried product immediately after being fried.
[0004]
Conventionally, this edible edible oil has been left as a natural spill when the fried food product is transferred from the fryer to a conveyor or the like, or is transported by a conveyor or the like. There was no process or equipment.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-mentioned conventional deep-fried food product processing process, it takes a long time for edible oil that has adhered to the outer surface of the deep-fried food product to flow down after being deep-fried. It remained. For this reason, when the cooking oil adhering to the fried food product is exposed to air, it is oxidized and deteriorated, and the shelf life and flavor of the fried food product are impaired.
[0006]
In addition, edible oil that has flowed down from the deep-fried food product also pollutes the surrounding work space and processing machines, so that it takes a long time to clean, and the operator may slide his / her feet with the oil scattered around and cause injury. ing.
[0007]
Furthermore, in order to remove adhered oil from the fried food product by natural spillage, it was necessary to lengthen the conveyor until the product fried from the fryer was packed in a bag or box, or temporarily hold the fried food product on a net shelf or the like. . For this reason, the space for the entire product processing line must be widened, and the time until bagging or boxing becomes longer, which is a factor in increasing the product cost.
[0008]
In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention forcibly removes oily components adhering to the outer surface of a fried product fried from a fryer, thereby preventing oxidation and deterioration of the fried product, The object of the present invention is to provide an oily content removal device for deep-fried food products, which is used for producing a product that is shortened in food hygiene and is clean and preferable in terms of food hygiene.
