Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an apparatus for applying powder thinly and uniformly to the surface of a kneaded product such as bread, noodles, confectionery dough, etc., which is obtained by kneading powder with water.

As is well known, the dough made by kneading flour, etc. with water is sticky and difficult to handle. These kneaded products are generally divided and shaped by applying oil or powder to the surface and then machined, or by hand.

Unless you want to add a lot of powder for flavoring, coloring, or design, when using powder, it is important to apply it as little and evenly as possible without interfering with the work. The ratio changes and the finished product loses its texture and texture. In addition, if powder is dropped or sprayed onto the surface of the fabric, it will be scattered around the surrounding area, causing problems in terms of machine operation and hygiene. The result is that the machinery becomes more complex in order to take measures against noise, etc.

The purpose of this invention is to prevent scattering of the powder, apply it thinly and uniformly to the surface of the fabric, and to be able to freely adjust the amount of powder applied.

An embodiment in which the present invention is implemented as a flouring device for bread dough pieces 14 will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The rotating drum 2 has disks 6 on both sides, a plurality of stainless steel wires 7 are attached between the disks 6, and several sheets of powder medium tape 5 are attached to the stainless steel wires 7 at appropriate intervals to form a set. ,
The next set is attached to a position corresponding to the middle of the tape 5. The surface of the powder medium tape 5 is formed with fine spaces due to a large number of fibers, and when it comes into contact with the powder, the powder is fused together, and the back surface is made smooth to prevent adhesion with the next tape 5, and due to its own weight. Attach the stainless steel wire 7 as a shaft so that it hangs smoothly. The hanging light of the medium tape 5 is located on the moving belt 1, is close to the moving belt 1 without contacting it, and is attached to the fabric piece 14.
It should be placed at an appropriate length that allows it to pass through. A roller 3 that rotates while contacting the media tape 5 is provided inside the disk 6 at a suitable location above or to the side of the rotating drum 2. A hopper 4 is provided close to the upper part of the roller 3 so as to be swingable in the axial direction of the roller 3, and is provided so as to be movable by impact via a cam 8 and a spring 9. The abutting stop 10 is provided so that it can be moved left and right and fixed at a position appropriate for the magnitude of the impact movement. The motor 12 is connected to the rotary drum 2 and rotates so that the media tape 5 moves in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the moving belt 1.
It is provided so that the speed can be adjusted by The powder medium tape 5 may be formed into a sheet, a lobe, a thread, etc. depending on the shape of the fabric piece 14, such as a belt, a rod, or a sphere, or depending on the uneven shape of the fabric surface.
In order for the above-mentioned action to take place smoothly, it goes without saying that the surface must be dense and contain a lot of powder for adhesion, but the tape 5 itself also needs to have weight and bending elasticity, so in this case thick vinyl is used on the rags. The sheet is lined and processed to suit the purpose.

In the above configuration, when the power is turned on, flour is put into the hopper 4, and the operation is started in such a state that the dough pieces 14 are continuously fed onto the moving belt 1, the flour is moved by the action of the cam 8 and the spring 9. Therefore, it is always in contact with the three roller surfaces. The roller 3 carries the powder through minute recesses 15 with more in the center and fewer in the ends, and impregnates the powder while contacting the surface of the media tape 50.

Due to the gentle rotation of the rotary drum 2, the powder-impregnated media tape 5 is moved so that the dough piece 14 on the moving belt 1 is stroked by the surface of the powder-impregnated media tape 5, and the powder is coated thinly and uniformly. Make it adhere. In this case, if the rotational speed of the rotating drum 20 is too fast, the medium tape 5 will scatter powder when it hangs down, and will come into impactful contact with the fabric piece 14, causing a large amount of powder to adhere. A curved guide may be attached to the medium tape 5 to smoothly invert and hang down to prevent scattering. The speeds of the rotating drum 2 and rollers 3 are adjusted by a controller 13, taking into consideration the weight, bending elasticity, and powder adhesion state of the media tape 5.

If you want to add more flour to one side of a flat dough at a bun factory, etc., or if you want to apply coarse powder with different flour properties such as flavored powder such as cocoa, mixed powder, etc., heavy powder, or highly cohesive powder to the machine. If you want to correct the occurrence of uneven adhesion, etc., you can divide the roller 3 and use a structure where part of it is stopped or operated, which is suitable for coarse powder, and a thick roller is suitable for fine powder. If a vinyl tape is inserted between the roller 3 and the rotating drum 2, the powder will continue to rotate while remaining attached to the roller 3, making it easy to correct the problem. Generally, a structure may be adopted in which a plate with a sponge attached thereto is inserted so as to block a part of the bottom of the hopper 4, and the above-mentioned device may be attached as necessary.

With the above configuration, it is possible to freely adjust and attach flour to bread dough, etc., and furthermore, it is possible to obtain an effect with a simple device that does not cause scattering of flour.
