Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing a striped rice cake having a spiral pattern and a rice cake cylinder device for producing the same.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, in order to make rice cake sticks for the production of stripped rice crackers, do the rice cake material be stretched by hand to make it stick-shaped, and then store it in a gutter type with a semicircular cross section and cover it with a lid to cool and solidify. Or, by kneading with a kneading machine in advance, the rice cake material is bitten between the two upper and lower rolls formed by arranging the gaps of the desired product shape in parallel, so that the rod-shaped bodies having the cross section of the desired product shape are placed in parallel. There has been one that is manufactured continuously, cut into appropriate lengths, and cooled and solidified.

However, in the former, bubbles and holes are generated in the rice cake stick because no strong pressure is applied to the rice cake material during kneading, and therefore, when the rice cake stick is cut into small pieces of rice cracker, defective products are likely to occur. was there. In the latter case, since the rice cake material is made into a bar while it is soft, it becomes a rice cake stick with a crumbled shape, and therefore, when this rice cake stick is cut into stripped rice crackers, it is a defective product. Had the drawback that

Therefore, the present inventors have conventionally developed a rice cake cylinder device for manufacturing a rice cake stick that solves these drawbacks. (See Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-7740) This is a hopper (2) above the machine base (1) as shown in FIG.
Forward, inside each other spiral wings rotating inwardly (21)
A rice cake making machine (3) equipped with a rice cake making room (22) arranged side by side is provided, and the extrusion mouth (23) of this rice cake making machine (3) can be decomposed into upper and lower half molds with an appropriate cross section. One end of a rice cake storage cylinder (13) consisting of plates (15) and (16) is attached, and a lid (17 ') having an air hole (24) is attached to the other end. Incidentally, (14) is a fixed packing that integrates both half mold plates (15) and (16).

According to such a rice cake cylinder device, the rice cake raw material is fed to the hopper (2).
The rice cake material is compressed and kneaded by the spiral blades (21) (21) that are supplied to the inside and rotated by a motor (not shown) and sent forward, and is directly pressed into the rice cake storage cylinder (13) from the extrusion port (23). I will do it. And when the rice cake material is squeezed out from the air hole (24) of the lid (17 ') at the other end of the rice cake storage cylinder (13), the motor is stopped,
Separate the rice cake storage tube (13) from the extrusion port (23) to separate the continuous rice cake material at one end of the rice cake storage tube (13), and keep the rice cake material in the rice cake storage tube (13). It is cooled and solidified, and the upper and lower half mold plates (1
5) By opening (16) and taking out the mochi stick, this can be cut into small pieces to obtain small pieces of rice crackers.

In the above rice cake tube device, the rice cake material is kneaded under high pressure and transferred,
Not only the air inside the rice cake storage cylinder but also the air inside the rice cake stick (17 ')
Since it is discharged to the outside through the air holes (24), it is possible to manufacture a rice cake stick with excellent quality.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

Recently, diversification of people's tastes and appearance preferences is similar to that of confectionery, and confectionery with various shades and patterns is currently sold.

However, in the pasted rice crackers, rice cake sticks can be produced only from a single material, and therefore the pasted rice cakes cut from them are only composed of one kind of material. I couldn't.

(Means for Solving the Problem) As a result of various studies in view of this, the present invention has developed a method for manufacturing a striped rice cake with a spiral pattern and an apparatus for manufacturing the same.

That is, in the method for producing striped rice crackers according to the present invention, the rice cake material pressed in the longitudinal direction at the closed end inside the rice cake storage cylinder having one end closed and the rice cake material in the rice cake material are characterized by Different foods are continuously supplied, and then the supply port and the closed end are gradually separated, and at the same time, the supply port and the storage cylinder are relatively rotated about their longitudinal direction as an axis. Rice cakes mixed with foods of different properties are sequentially packed from the closed end of the storage cylinder, and the rice cake sticks mixed with foods of different properties from the rice cakes spirally continuously in the longitudinal direction inside. It is characterized in that the rice cake stick is cut in the lateral direction after the preparation, and in this case, it is effective to mix foods of different colors as foods of different properties.

Further, the rice cake cylinder device of the present invention has a kneading cylinder for feeding a pressurized rice cake material from a supply port at the tip, and a moisturizing device installed along the kneading cylinder and opened at the supply port to have a different property from the rice cake material. It is equipped with a mixing cylinder having an injection port for sending out food, and a kneading cylinder can be loosely inserted, and one end is closed, and the kneading cylinder and the rice cake accommodating cylinder are relatively movable. It is characterized by being freely rotatable.

5) Fix (16). Further, a lid (17) is attached to one end of the rice cake storage cylinder (13) to close one end of the rice cake storage cylinder (13). In addition, the mixing cylinder (9) is provided with a cock (18) and the injection port (8)
It is configured to control the amount of the mixed material in the rice cake material sent out from.

Such a rice cake cylinder device is used as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the rice cake storage cylinder (13) is placed on the frame (10), the frame (10) is moved toward the rice cake making machine (3), and the rice cake storage cylinder (1
The kneading cylinder (5) is loosely inserted into the inside of 3) and stopped at the position where the closed end reaches the supply port (4) of the kneading cylinder (5). Next, put ordinary rice cake material in the hopper (2), put liquid coffee in the mixed material pumping chamber (7), drive the motor (6), and use the spiral wings inside the rice cake making machine (3) to make rice cake. The material is sent to the supply port (4) of the kneading cylinder (5) while kneading with high pressure, and at the same time, liquid coffee is also sent to the injection port (8) at the tip through the mixing cylinder (9). As shown in FIG. 5, the feed port (4) is covered with a blind plate (19) in approximately half of its opening area. Therefore, the rice cake material fed into the kneading tube (5) is supplied to this feed port (4). Then it is further squeezed and sent to the closed end in the rice cake storage cylinder.

Then, the roll (12) of the mochi storage cylinder mounting frame (10) is rotated to rotate the mochi storage cylinder (13). At the same time, the inlet (8)
Since liquid coffee is sent from, the rice cake storage tube (13)
Coffee is compressed in the rice cake material supplied in the longitudinal direction and is kneaded in a spiral shape while being squeezed. As a result, the swirl pattern of coffee is drawn on the cross section of the rice cake material. Furthermore, the rice cake material sent out from the supply port (4) strongly presses the lid (17) of the rice cake storage cylinder (5) by the pressure, but the rice cake storage cylinder (1
3) is strongly pressed against the roll (12) by the pressing lever (20), so as the rice cake material is pushed out, the rice cake storage cylinder (13) moves forward together with the frame (10). .

When the rice cake material is finally full in the rice cake storage cylinder (13), that is, when the opening end of the rice cake storage cylinder (13) reaches the position of the supply port (4) of the kneading cylinder (5), the motor ( 6) was stopped and the continuous rice cake material was cut from the opening of the rice cake storage tube (13), and the rice cake storage tube (13) containing the rice cake material was cooled as it was to solidify the rice cake material.

After that, the half mold plates (15) and (16) were separated to obtain a mochi stick. This rice cake stick is a novel one in which coffee is continuously spirally swirled in the vertical direction. When this mochi stick was laterally cut into strips, it was possible to produce striped rice crackers having a coffee spiral pattern as shown in FIG.

According to this rice cake cylinder device, the cross-sectional shape inside the rice cake storage cylinder is variously changed, and further the size and position of the injection port are variously changed so that a spiral pattern is formed only in the central portion in the shape as shown in FIG. It is also possible to manufacture striped rice crackers that have.

Furthermore, not only coffee but also other natural coloring agents and artificial coloring agents can be used to obtain striped rice crackers having various colors.

Further, not only foods of different colors sent from the pouring port into the rice cake material, but also materials having different hardness and different roughness from the rice cake material as the dough can be used.

And the mixing cylinder and the mixing material pumping chamber for injecting the mixed food material into the rice cake material are not limited to one set, and a plurality of sets may be installed.
In this case, it is also possible to obtain striped rice crackers having a plurality of types of color patterns.
