It is designed to be pushed upwards.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a chikuwasaki winding device that is smaller and has a simpler structure than the conventional winding devices.

The structure of the invention, that is, the surimi winding device according to the present invention includes a rotating drum that is rotatable around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation;
A drive device that rotates the rotary drum in a predetermined direction, a device that supplies and places chikuwasuri of a constant width and a constant thickness on the upper half circumference of the rotary drum, and a skewer parallel to the central axis of rotation of the rotary drum. Then, the skewer is transferred from the upper half circumferential surface of the rotating drum in the rotational direction of the same circumferential surface at a distance smaller than the thickness of the surimi placed on the same portion, and rotates around the center axis of the skewer. and a small drive device that rolls the skewer on the suri-sumi while contacting the suri-shim on the upper half circumferential surface portion, thereby wrapping the suri-shim around the skewer. This is a chikuwasuri wrapping device, which is set above the first half of the upper half circumferential surface of the rotating drum based on the rotation direction of the rotating drum, and winds chikuwasuri of a constant width and constant thickness toward the first half. A surimi extrusion device ° having a nozzle that extrudes downward toward the same part, and when the chikuwa surimi is extruded by a predetermined length from the surimi extrusion device, the surimi is separated from the extrusion device and the above-mentioned and a cutting device for feeding onto the front half.

A wrapping device according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a cloth-like material wrapped around a circumferential surface of a rotating drum in the device as described above;
a wetting device that wets the cloth-like material of the drum at a lower position of the rotating drum; and a wetting device that comes into contact with the cloth-like material between the wetting device and a position where the rubbing of the upper half circumferential surface portion is supplied,
It is characterized by having a blade that removes excess water contained in the cloth-like material and adjusts the moisture content of the cloth-like material.

Effects of the Invention The device according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and the surimi extruded from the nozzle is supplied onto the first half of the upper half circumference of the rotating drum in a substantially vertical state. The supplied surimi is supported by falling down on the surface due to the inclination of the front half.

The winding of the surimi skewer supported in this manner is carried out in the same manner as in the conventional apparatus described above.

As can be seen from the above, the device according to the present invention has a significantly simpler structure and is smaller in size than conventional devices that require a surimi-forming drum and an extrusion member set therein. You can.

Further, in the device according to the second aspect of the present invention, a cloth-like material is wound around a rotating drum, and an appropriate amount of moisture is applied to the cloth-like material to wind up the cloth material.

There has been a technique in the past to add moisture to a cloth-like material and wrap a surimi around it, but there was no method to adjust the moisture using a blade. If this blade does not adjust the moisture content, by the time the rotating drum rotates and the wet cloth material reaches the suri-feeding position, excess moisture will naturally fall out and there will be no other choice but to adjust the moisture content. Therefore, the diameter of the rotary drum had to be increased, but in the present invention, the diameter of the rotary drum can be made smaller because the blade is forcibly adjusted.
