Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a device for applying a seasoning liquid to a sheet of seaweed to season it.

(Prior Art) Recently, as snack foods or sake, a food in which sesame is sandwiched between two seasoned seaweed is sold.

As shown in FIG. 7, the above food is two sheets of seaweed.
(9) Apply a highly viscous seasoning solution to one surface of each of (91), sprinkle sesame on the seasoning solution application surface of one seaweed, and superimpose the seasoning solution application surface of both seaweeds. Next, the seaweed is pressurized, and both seaweeds are joined using the seasoning liquid as an adhesive.

After drying the seaweed, it is cut into pieces that are easy to eat.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The operation of applying the seasoning liquid to the seaweed is performed by passing the sheet-shaped seaweed between the sponge roll impregnated with the seasoning liquid and the hard receiving roll. In order to apply the seasoning liquid to every corner of the seaweed by rotation, make the circumference of the sponge roll larger than the length of the seaweed in the transfer direction.
The effective length of the sponge roll must be greater than the seaweed width.

Therefore, the seasoning liquid attached to the portion of the sponge roll protruding from the seaweed is transferred to the receiving roll.

When the seasoning liquid adheres to the receiving rolls, the seasoning liquid partially adheres to the surface of the laver that passes between the rolls on the side of the receiving rolls, which interferes with the subsequent process.

Further, there is a problem that the product value is impaired if the seasoning liquid adheres even partially to the surface.

The present invention clarifies a seasoning liquid application device that can solve the above problems.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The seasoning liquid coating device of the present invention comprises a coating roll (32) rotatably arranged on a base (1) and having an outer peripheral surface formed of an elastic member such as sponge, and a coating roll. Seasoning liquid supply device (94) for supplying seasoning liquid to (32)
A receiving roll (31) which is provided under the coating roll (32) so as to be able to come into contact with and separate from the roll and which is connected to a rotation driving device and has a hard peripheral surface; and a receiving roll (31) below the receiving roll (31). Moreover, at the lower position of the receiving roll (31), a wiping roll (34) which is provided so as to be able to contact the receiving roll and whose outer peripheral surface is formed of an elastic member such as sponge, and below the wiping roll (34) and A cleaning liquid storage tank (43) arranged at a height position where the lower part of the roll is submerged in the liquid surface, and a scraping plate (39) arranged so as to be able to contact the roll at the lower position of the receiving roll (31). Composed of.

(Function and effect) The sheet roll of seaweed (9) is formed by the receiving roll (31) and the coating roll (32).
Rotate in the direction to pull in, and pass the sheet-like seaweed (9) between both rolls (31) (32).

The surface of the coating roll (32) is wetted by the seasoning liquid supplied from the seasoning liquid supply device (94), and the sheet-shaped seaweed (9) is brought into contact with the coating roll (32), and the seasoning liquid is applied to the seaweed. Is applied.

The seasoning liquid adhering to the portion of the coating roll (31) protruding from the seaweed is transferred to the receiving roll (31).

When the sheet-shaped seaweed (9) passes through the rolls (31) and (32), the receiving roll (31) descends while continuing to rotate and wipes off.
Contact (34). The rotation of the receiving roll (31) is the wiping roll.
Friction is transmitted to (34), so that both rolls (31) and (34) rotate in opposite directions.

The lower part of the wiping roll (34) is immersed in the cleaning liquid, and the wiping roll (34) comes into contact with the receiving roll (31) and rotates, so that the seasoning liquid adhering to the receiving roll (31) is removed. It is wiped off by the wiping roll (34).

The surface of the receiving roll (31) from which the seasoning liquid has been wiped is wet with the cleaning liquid, but the scraping plate (39) in contact with the roll (31)
Thus, the cleaning liquid on the surface of the roll (31) is scraped off.

After the seasoning liquid on the surface of the receiving roll (31) is removed, the receiving roll (31) rises and comes into contact with the coating roll (32) again, and in this state, a sheet-like shape is formed between the both rolls (31) (32). Pass the seaweed (9) through.

By repeating the above operation, the seasoning liquid can be continuously applied to the sheet-like seaweed (9).

Sheet-like seaweed between the coating roll (32) and the receiving roll (31)
When sandwiching and sending out (9), the seasoning liquid does not adhere to the receiving roll (31), and the seasoning liquid does not adhere to the surface of the sheet-shaped laver (9) on the receiving roll (31) side. To be prevented.
