JP6407668B2 - Noodle strip cutting device - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a noodle strip cutting device for making noodle strips for cutting noodle strips of noodles such as Chinese noodles and udon into noodle strips, and cutting out noodle strips that can impart shapes such as streaks and grooves to the noodle strips It relates to the device. As a field used for noodle making, it can be used for noodle making such as raw noodles, semi-dry noodles, dry noodles, steamed noodles, boiled noodles, frozen noodles, and instant noodles.

  The noodle string cutting device according to the present invention is a device for cutting noodle strings in mechanical noodles. In machine-made noodles, raw powder such as wheat flour and kneaded water containing salt and brine are kneaded with a mixer, and the resulting dough is made into a sheet-like noodle band by a roll, and this is further rolled to a predetermined thickness by a rolling roll. The noodle strings are made by pushing the noodle strings through a pair of rolls that have a plurality of annular grooves arranged in parallel so as to face each other, called cutting blade rolls. It is common to do. At this time, the pressed noodle strings are pushed into the annular groove portion, and therefore it is necessary to take them out from the groove portions, and the noodle strings are taken out from the groove portions by a scraper called a scraper. Cutting blade rolls are expensive because precise processing techniques are required, but scrapers called scrapes are cheaper than cutting blade rolls, and can be replaced when they are consumed by use.

  By the way, when restoring a thick noodle in a short time, the technique which returns a thick noodle string by giving a concave structure, such as a streak and a groove | channel, to a noodle string is known (for example, literature 1-4). Patent Documents 1 to 3 describe a technique in which an annular blade is provided in a groove portion or a roll-shaped cutting blade portion of a cutting blade roll. However, by these methods, the shape of the noodle strings that are provided with a structure such as a streak or a groove is constant, but it is not possible to adjust the shape or shape of the noodle strings, and each time. There was a problem that it was necessary to design and purchase each cutting blade roll, which was expensive. Patent Document 4 describes a technique in which a noodle strip is cut with a cutting blade roll after a groove is formed in the noodle strip with a groove cutting roll. However, with this method, it is possible to control the condition of the creasing, etc., but when the noodle band passing through the roll sways to the left and right during production, the position of the groove changed, and the streak always entered a certain shape. It was difficult to obtain noodle strings.
