JPS5959163A - Treatment of noodle lines and device for treating them - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent sticking of noodle lines between themselves during their traveling through a drying chamber even in noodles having a high water content, by dropping powder on the noodle lines hung on a bar, or passing the noodle lines through an atmosphere wherein the powder is fluidized so that the powder is attachced to the surfaces of the noodle lines. CONSTITUTION:The noodle lines 11 hung on a bar are successively fed from the inlet 2 of noodle lines to the box frame 1. While the noodle lines 11 are transported toward the outlet 3 of noodle lines, powder is sprinkled upon them by the powder sprinkling machine 4. When the fan 5 is set, the powder is fluidized by it, the powder is attached to the whole length of the noodle lines securely and uniformly, and the surfaces of the noodle lines are dried. Consequently, even noodle lines having a high water content neither are elongated and hung down, nor stick to themselves.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for treating noodle strings at the entrance of a drying process.

In the production of dried noodles, noodle strips are generally produced from dough,
This is continuously rolled and then cut out, hung on a T-noodle wire hooking rod and sent to a drying room.

By the way, in order to obtain delicious noodles with a strong chewiness, the water addition rate must be at least 40 parts, and if this is to be produced mechanically, it is dried by hanging it on a hanger as described above. When moving it around the room, the noodle strings are weak due to the high amount of water added, so they stretch and sag, and the noodle strings that are adjacent to each other tend to poke each other.

The present invention is aimed at eliminating such drawbacks, and even with highly water-added noodles, the noodle strings stretch and sag while passing through the drying chamber, and the noodle strings stick together and become stiff. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for processing noodle strings that prevent the occurrence of noodle strings.

The method for treating noodle strings according to the present invention involves hanging the noodle strings on a hanger, shaking off the powder, or passing the powder through a fire in an atmosphere to scatter it, so that the powder adheres to the surface of the noodle strings. It is characterized by the following: Noodle flour, such as starch, is used as the flour. In addition, the processing equipment has a noodle string inlet and a noodle string outlet opened at appropriate positions on the box frame, and a flour supply mechanism is installed, and an air curtain is placed at the noodle string outlet for peace of mind. , a paddy collecting mechanism is installed at the bottom, and the drawing shows the most preferred embodiment thereof. 1 in the diagram
is a box frame, which is placed between the filtration machine and the drying room by hanging it on a rod for hanging the noodle strings. 2 is an entrance for noodle strings provided by opening the bottom of the box frame 1; Ill of box frame 1
It may be installed on the wall, on the corner, or in some cases on the ceiling. 3
The side surface of the box frame 1 on the drying chamber side is opened [] to form the noodle strings 1], and the noodle strings processed in the box frame 1 come out from there and are sent into the drying chamber. .

The noodle string outlet 3 may be provided on the top wall or the bottom wall of the box frame 1. Step 4: Sprinkle the flour onto the noodle strings. 4) Use the Mume powder shaker.
For example, it is equipped with a pie-rayon machine drawing and employs a f-cos. Of course, it is also possible to use a method in which the powder is fed through a mesh or a method in which the powder is blown out with air. 5 is for adding noodle strings [Attach to the side of 12 f, - Use a fan to sprinkle the flour from the flour shaker 4. Further scatter the flour with the air flow to uniformly adhere the powder to the entire noodle strings and add 7DI. belongs to. Incidentally, the powder is not only supplied from the main part, but also or instead of this, the powder may be blown together with the wind from the fan 5 and blown up from below. 6 is an air curtain device installed above the noodle string outlet 3 side (C), which prevents flour from scattering outside the box frame 1 by forming an air curtain at the noodle string outlet 3;
It is designed to facilitate the collection of powder. Reference numeral 7 denotes a partition plate provided on the bottom surface of the box frame 1 below the air curtain device 6, which is useful for collecting garbage. 8 is box frame 1
A dust collection chamber is provided at the bottom of the dust collector 9, and 10 duct hoses extending from the dust collector 9 are connected thereto. The powder recovery chamber 8 is communicated with the inside of the box frame 1 through a recovery hole 8a. Note that the arrows in the figure indicate the flow of air (wind).

In this device, L-sized noodle strings 11 are fed one after another from the noodle string inlet 2 into the box frame 1 by being hung on a hanging rod. The noodle strings 11 are then conveyed toward the noodle string outlet 3, at which time they are sprinkled with flour by a flour shaker 4. Install fan 5
In this case, the powder is scattered, ensuring that the powder is evenly distributed over the entire length of the noodle strings, and the surface is dried. The muni flour that falls without being attached to the noodle strings is sucked into the flour collection chamber 8 from the collection hole 8a on the bottom of the box frame 1, and is passed through the duct hose 1.
After passing through 0, it is collected in a dust collector 9.

The recovered T powder can be returned to the powder shaker 4 and used again.
It is preferable to have a mechanism that automatically returns from the dust collector 9 to the powder shaker 4.

Although the method according to the present invention is realized by the above-mentioned apparatus, it is of course not limited thereto, and any means may be used as long as it creates an atmosphere conducive to adhering the powder to the surface of the noodle strings. I do not care. When the noodle strings get powdered,
The water on the surface is absorbed, dries, and solidifies, causing the noodle strings to no longer stretch, become less sticky, and the noodle strings no longer poke each other.

The present invention is as described above, and can prevent the noodle strings from elongating and hanging down or sticking together during the drying process, and is therefore extremely useful, especially in the process of manufacturing highly hydrated noodles.
