Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to crab claw meat-style kamaboko, a method for producing the same, and an apparatus for producing the same.

(Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention) The most common type of crab meat-style kamaboko is made by cutting a strip-like sheet of fish paste product into fibers in the longitudinal direction, collecting them into a rod shape, and cutting them into appropriate lengths. It is known to be cut into rod-shaped bodies. This is an aggregate of long fibers that are connected along the entire length of the rod, so when eating it, the fibers must be chewed with the front teeth, so it is not necessarily a good food that resembles crab meat. It's hard to describe it as a feeling. Therefore, kamaboko having V-shaped short fibers resembling crab claws has been proposed, but each method has various problems.

Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-1293 discloses a rod-shaped kneaded product simply made of V-shaped short fibers, but the manufacturing method is unknown, and if lamination of fiber sheets is used, short fibers It is difficult to stack them in a state where they are completely separated. Next, in Utility Model Application No. 60-95884,
A means is shown for stacking and converging strips of V-shaped cut sheets. However, since elongated strip-shaped sheets with low tensile strength are conveyed, the sheets are frequently cut, making it difficult to produce efficiently.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-22572 discloses a means for laminating a suitable number of long fiber sheets in a form by folding them with folding lines diagonal to the fiber direction and converging them. Although the above-mentioned method uses a wide belt-shaped sheet and is easy to manufacture, the product produced has V-shaped fibers that are not aligned and are mixed, so it is not possible to obtain a texture similar to that of crab claw meat.

Furthermore, JP-A No. 60-9470, No. 60-87767, No. 60
-102172, etc., disclose rod-shaped fish meat paste products in the form of obliquely short fibers, but these products are made by laminating strip-shaped sheets and then cutting them diagonally.
This requires a mechanism for laminating the fiber sheets of kamaboko as shown in Figure 2 of Publication No. 102172, making manufacturing complicated.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has devised a crab claw-like paste product with a new structure, and proposed a method for manufacturing the same and an apparatus for manufacturing the same.

The crab claw meat-shaped paste product that is the object of the present invention is formed by cutting two long fiber rod-shaped kamaboko diagonally in different directions and bringing the cut surfaces into contact with each other to form a rod-shaped product. The well-known long fiber rod-shaped kamaboko manufacturing process involves forming a thin strip-like sheet of product, cutting it into long fibers in the longitudinal direction, and then converging the product. Two long fiber rod-shaped kamaboko are supplied and shaped into a substantially rectangular cross section. The shaping cutting process involves diagonally cutting in different directions at equal intervals, and the cut pieces are
It is characterized in that it includes a turning wrapping process in which the cutting end surfaces are turned by 90 degrees and the cut end surfaces are brought into contact with each other, and the whole is made into a rod shape and film packaging is performed. Furthermore, the production involves a long-fiber rod-shaped kamaboko manufacturing mechanism that cuts a thin belt-shaped sheet formed by heat treatment in the longitudinal direction, and then bundles it into a rod-shape. A shaping cutting mechanism that transports at a predetermined speed and has a shaping section that shapes the cross section into a substantially rectangular shape during transportation, and a cutting section that performs oblique cuts in different directions at equal intervals; A turning section that transports the cut pieces at a high speed and turns the cut pieces 90 degrees during transportation, and a packaging that transports the cut pieces at a gentle speed and connects the cut pieces into a rod shape and wraps them in a cylindrical shape with a film. The present invention is characterized by comprising a turning wrapping mechanism having a section.

(Function) When a long fiber rod-shaped kamaboko with a substantially rectangular cross section is cut diagonally at equal intervals in the fiber direction, the cut pieces become a rhomboid, and the cut pieces of the diagonal parallelepiped cut in different diagonal directions are rotated approximately 90 degrees. When the cut end surfaces (fiber end surfaces) are brought into contact with each other, it becomes a feather-like shape, and when these are connected, it becomes a rod-like shape. Further, when turning, the cut pieces can be turned by speeding up the conveyance of the cut pieces to leave a sufficient gap between the front and rear cut pieces.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be shown, and the example will explain a manufacturing apparatus in which a fish paste product according to the present invention is produced and a manufacturing method according to the present invention is realized.

The manufacturing device consists of a long fiber rod-shaped kamaboko mechanism, a shaping/cutting mechanism, and a turning and packaging mechanism. It consists of a heating section, a cutting section, and a focusing section. To give a specific example of its structure, the molding section consists of a hopper 1 and an extruder 2, which forms a paste containing minced fish meat as a main ingredient into a thin strip-shaped sheet a, and sends it to the next heating section. The heating section consists of a heating chamber 3 equipped with a gas burner and a steam chamber.
The passing sheet a is cut and heated to solidify. Next, the sheet a is passed through a comb-like roller 4 in the cutting section and cut into fibers in the longitudinal direction to form a long fiber sheet b. The convergence unit is composed of a convergence roller 5 having a curved concave surface, and when the long fiber sheet b is inserted diagonally with respect to the direction of travel and an appropriate tension is applied to the rod-shaped body c to be formed in the direction of travel. , the sheets b are collected by a collection roller 5 to continuously form rod-shaped bodies c. Two production lines for the rod-shaped body c (long-fiber rod-shaped kamaboko) are set up in parallel.

The shaping/cutting mechanism consists of a shaping section and a cutting section, and the shaping section is equipped with a shaping roller 7 in a steaming chamber 6 and an appropriate cooling means after shaping. The cross section of the rod-shaped body c is arranged into a substantially rectangular shape. The cutting section is equipped with a rib-shaped cutting blade 9 that moves up and down at a constant speed, and cuts two advancing rod-shaped bodies c at equal intervals in different diagonal directions to form a rhomboid d. It is.

The rotating packaging mechanism consists of a rotating section and a packaging mechanism.
The turning section consists of a second conveyor 10 and a turning rod 11, and the second conveyor 10 conveys the rhomboid d formed by the mechanism described above.
The turning rod 11 is operated at a faster speed than the conveyor 8, and is provided at a position where the portion outside the center of the cut end surface collides with the rhomboid d during its progress.
The packaging mechanism includes a third conveyor 12 that operates slower than the second conveyor 10,
After bringing the packaging film A of the packaging film roll 13 into contact with the colorant applicator 14, the bridge 1 forms the film provided on the base end of the conveyor 12 into a U shape.

Therefore, when the raw material is supplied to the hopper 1, a paste-like sheet a is formed, which is then heated and solidified to produce a belt-shaped sheet, which is then made into a long fiber sheet b, and then bundled into a rod-shaped body c. Two pieces of the cut material are supplied to the shaping and cutting section. The supplied long fiber rod c is shaped into a rectangular cross section and then cut diagonally at appropriate intervals with a cutting blade 9 to form a rhomboid d.
When moving from the first conveyor 8 to the second conveyor 10 of the rotating packaging mechanism, the second conveyor 1
0 is moving faster than the first conveyor 8, the rhomboid d is not connected and is conveyed with an appropriate interval maintained, collides with the rotating rod 11, rotates approximately 90 degrees, and faces the cut end face. urge Next third conveyor 12
In this case, the orthorhombic bodies d are arranged in series to form a rod-shaped body e, which is then gently moved and wrapped in a cylindrical shape with a film A. After packaging, the products may be vacuum-packed in several pieces and left as is, or they may be unraveled as appropriate, packaged separately, and shipped as products.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above; for example, the long fiber rod-shaped kamaboko can be formed by various means, and the means for turning the rhomboid may also be a guide body or the like instead of a turning rod. Alternatively, other means may be used for the packaging mechanism.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention forms V-shaped short fiber kamaboko from two long fiber rod-shaped kamaboko, which is easy to manufacture, and also allows for the production of conventional crab leg-style kamaboko. This has the great advantage that the line can be used as is.
