Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for dispersing powder and granules onto the surface of confectionery dough, etc., and more specifically, the present invention relates to a method for dispersing powder and granules onto the surface of confectionery dough, etc. This relates to a method of dispersion that allows for such dispersion.

In addition to unheated confectionery dough, which is commonly referred to as confectionery dough, it also refers to food dough that has been heated to a certain extent, and also includes food dough containing mainly seafood, meat, and flour. It generally refers to flakes of powdery or lumpy substances that dissolve or are scattered on the surface of confectionery dough or food dough. .

Sprinkling and adhering of sesame seeds and the like is carried out in accordance with the tastes of consumers. Even though sweets are mass-produced mechanically, the spraying is usually done by hand, and this process is extremely labor intensive.

There are also many problems from a food hygiene perspective.

For example, manshu, kutsky, senbei, etc. can be easily mass-produced by heating, baking, and evaporating them while continuously moving them through a moving zone. However, in order to scatter powder and granules on the surface of confectionery dough, it is better to interpose a manual scattering process behind this continuous heating process.
Productivity is severely inhibited by VC. Therefore, the scattering process is normally carried out after baking or evaporating the confectionery, and the manually dispersed powder and granules are not heated.
It's extremely unsanitary.

Historically, powder and granules such as sliced almonds and sesame seeds have cohesive properties by themselves, and some powder and lumps, such as apricots and grapes, have sticky surfaces and may partially form lumps. It is extremely difficult to sprinkle these on the confectionery dough in fixed amounts and separately in a separate state.

From this point of view, the present inventor previously proposed a quantitative supply device for powder and granular materials as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-1045.1.
Ta. As shown in FIG. 1, the FC confectionery dough is continuously fed at intervals on an endless track (not shown) that moves intermittently, and a storage container 1 is placed on this endless track.
3. Powder and granular materials such as sliced almonds are placed in this.
capacity. This storage container is made of rubber or other elastic material, and the cross-sectional shape of its bottom is such that at least a portion or the entire container is oriented in the shape of an arc.

A plurality of hammer members 2a...
...2n are arranged, and each of these hammer members 2a
. . . 2n moves away from or approaches the outer surface of the bottom of the storage container 1, and each hammer member 2a . . .
... 2nσ Each is struck close to the bottom of the storage container 1 from its outer surface to give the storage container 1 the required vibration, and the vibration loosens the powder and granular material 3 and causes it to become loose.
-, the surface level is made uniform.

Further, a hopper (not shown) is provided adjacent to the storage container IK, and a mortar adsorption cylinder 4 is provided between the hopper and the storage container. A predetermined amount of powder and granular material 3 is adsorbed from each 4-piece storage container, and the straw is transferred to a hopper, and the powder and granular material is transferred to the surface of the confectionery dough on the endless moving orbit through the hopper. Objects are scattered.

Since the bottom of the quantitative supply device (c) and the storage container are partially configured in an arcuate shape, and the rubber or other elastic material is incorrect, each hammer member 2a...
...The nodal motion from 2n is transmitted evenly to the entire storage container 1, and the three powder particles inside are given appropriate vibrations,
It can be constantly adsorbed and supplied without any pressure at all.

However, the feeding device with this configuration was developed mainly for the individual supply of powder and granules, and there remain problems such as collection of excess powder and granules when spraying onto the surface of confectionery dough.

The present invention is a book based on the above,
Specifically, we will propose a method for dispersing powder and granules that can uniformly spread the powder and granules on the surface of confectionery dough, etc., and that can effectively collect excess sprinkled powder and granules.

According to the method of the present invention, powder and granules are sprayed onto the surface of confectionery dough, etc. on a moving band that moves spastically or intermittently.
On the downstream side of the confectionery dough, etc., a reverse airflow directed from the downstream side to the upstream side flows along the moving band.

The present invention is characterized in that the excess powder lumps are collected by suctioning this reverse airflow onto confectionery dough or the like.

The method of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

In addition, FIG. 2 is a side view of an example of an apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention, FIG. Figures (a) and (b) are a perspective view and a cross-sectional view of an example of a particulate matter collection device. 7 First, in FIG. A grilling plate is normally attached to this moving band 1o, but the moving band 1o is made up of rice and is wound between rollers 11a and 11b at both ends to form 10 continuous or continuous moving bands. The fence is driven intermittently. A squeezing machine 12 for supplying confectionery dough, etc. is arranged on the upstream side of the moving belt 0,
The confectionery dough 13 (
(see Fig. 3) into the desired shape. Oh yeah
A powder and granular material collecting device 15 is installed in the powder and granular material dispersing device 14 in order downstream from the squeezing machine 12, and the powder and granular material is collected on the surface of the 13 pieces of confectionery dough that have passed through these. ]
Tunnel type with 6 sprayed? After entering the heating furnace 7, where it is fired or evaporated.

It is discharged via a conveyor 18 on the downstream side.

The transfer conveyors 18 are normally arranged perpendicular to the transfer band 10, but they can also be arranged transversely if desired.

Dimensions. As described above, when the powder and granules] 6 are sprinkled from the scattering device 14 onto the confectionery dough [3], the powder and granules 16 are individually loosened using air energy, and at the same time, the surface of the confectionery dough 13 is kept in that state. The stone is sprayed on. By spraying in this manner, even if the particles of the powder or granular material have coagulation or stickiness, they are broken up into pieces and uniformly distributed over the surface of the confectionery dough 13.

It can be attached in this state.

-ffr As shown in FIG. 3, the spraying device 4 is composed of a hopper 14a, a communicating pipe 14be, and an enclosure 14c. Spreading device] The spraying device is constructed so that it can reciprocate in parallel with the moving belt 10 by means of, for example, air or a cylinder (not shown). Therefore, if the movable belt 10 is configured to move continuously in the direction of the arrow, the spraying device 14 will move following the movement of the movable belt. The spraying device 14 #- is configured to be able to be raised and lowered by, for example, a crank mechanism (not shown), and as the spraying device 14 #- moves, the velocity vector A −+ B −+ in FIG.
C-+ D K Move as shown.

When the dispersing device 14 descends as indicated by vector C-+D, 13 pieces of confectionery dough are surrounded by the surrounding body 14C, and between vector D-+A, 13 pieces of confectionery dough are moved in this surrounding state, 6fx, intermittently. In the case of a mobile zone that is moved on a regular basis, the spreading device 14 can only be configured so that it can be raised or lowered.

In this dispersion device 14, an air introduction pipe 14d is attached to the enclosure 14C, and air is blown from the introduction pipe 14d. When the inlet pipe 14d is installed with a downward inclination as shown in FIG. 3, the air 19 is injected with a downward inclination. In this way, the air is removed from the powder and granular material 16 falling from the hopper 14d.
The particles fall while being loosened by the energy of the blown air, and the powder particles 16 are uniformly attached to the surface of the confectionery dough 13.
At this time, surplus powder and granular materials 16 remain around the confectionery dough 13, but these are completely collected by the collection device 15 as described later, so they pose no problem at all.

Further, the small S< and main support portions of the hopper 14B are made of rubber or other elastic material, similar to the container 1 shown in FIG.

In the configuration of B, using a supply device as shown in Fig. 1,
At least, it is possible to loosen the powder directly in the hopper 1ad and drop it uniformly into the enclosure 14C.

Next, 13 pieces of confectionery dough, on which powder and granules have been scattered, move along with the moving belt 10 and reach the collecting device 15. Reverse airflow 20 directed from the lower zero side to the upstream side (see Figure 4 (HL))
Flow 17. By this reverse airflow, 16 surplus powder particles around the raw confectionery M113 can be collected by suction.

+h Also, the recovery device 15 is composed of an air blowout device 21 and an air power device 22, as shown in FIG. I'm standing there. As long as the air ejection device 21 can eject air across the width direction of the moving band 10, it can be moved anywhere.1 Normally, the communication duct 21a is installed with at least one injection port 21b inclined downward in the longitudinal direction of the communication duct 21a (Fig. 4). (b)), six or more communication ducts 21a are arranged in the width direction of the moving band 1. The suction device 22 also generates a reverse airflow 20- from the injection tube 21b across the width direction of the moving band 10.
/) i What is the number of suctionable devices, so to speak? LK main structure wide and groove 1 Normally, like the ejection device 21, the suction port is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the communication duct 22a. In addition, the nine communicating ducts 22a are formed in a tube shape as shown in FIG. Also, no matter which configuration the suction port 22b is configured, the suction port 22
Around b is a pair of Ja-! It is preferable to attach the plates 22C and 22d, and bend the kneaded and twisted plates 22e and 22d into an ampoule shape.

When the recovery device is configured in this way, the air ejected from the ejection device 21 flows over the surface of the moving zone 10 through the reverse air flow 20 directed upstream, and the reverse air flt, 2 (1 is the suction device 22 Therefore, even if the powder and granules 16 are scattered around the confectionery dough 13, the excess powder and granules 16 are accompanied by the reverse airflow 20 and can be sucked into the suction device 22 and collected.

Furthermore, if the suction device 22 and the communication duct 22a are configured to be tapered, powdery particles will be collected on average across the width direction of the moving band 10]6
can be collected, and even if it is not necessary to provide a pair of baffle plates around the suction port 2'b, at least one baffle plate 22 can be collected.
If C is provided, good recovery can be achieved.

In detail [-<As explained above, 1. The present invention involves spraying powder and granules onto the surface of confectionery dough, etc., with a movable belt that moves continuously or intermittently, It collects excess powder and granules using airflow, and can be uniformly spread over the surface of #, child dough, etc., and is extremely easy to mechanize in a continuous manner, allowing for replacement production.
