Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a width regulating method in a method for producing crab ashi-style kamaboko.

(Prior art) Traditionally, Konohashi-style kamaboko is made by cutting strip-shaped kamaboko of a predetermined thickness and width and containing fish meat, crab extract, etc. into thin lines, and then gathering the pieces into a rope shape.
They are colored and cut into appropriate lengths to look like crab legs, but the thinly sliced parts (hereinafter referred to as fibers) are located parallel to the axial direction, and when eaten. It was hard to bite into, and although it looked and tasted very similar to crab legs, it was a step up in terms of texture (texture).

The reason for this is that real crab legs are not always made up of fibers of the same length, but are made up of a mixture of long and short fibers, so when you bite into it, it always breaks off in that position. It is possible.

As a result of research, it was revealed that by arranging the fibers of kamaboko diagonally, it was possible to obtain ``crab foot-style kamaboko,'' which has a texture similar to that of ``real crab foot.'' Therefore, we invented a method that allows for continuous mass production by machining the fibers in an oblique direction. However, the width of the zigzag-shaped kamaboko strips cut into thin lines in the feeding direction, folded in a zigzag shape, and placed on the transfer conveyor was not constant, resulting in poor uniformity of the product. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, this invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, arranges the fibers of kamaboko diagonally, and regulates the width of Ashikaze kamaboko, which can be mass-produced continuously. The present invention provides a method for regulating width in a method for manufacturing Kaze Kamaboko.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
After cutting into thin strips, the strips are dropped onto an inclined transfer conveyor 2, the falling speed S2 of the strip-shaped kamaboko 1 is made faster than the speed S1 of the transfer conveyor 2, and the strip-shaped kamaboko 1 is arbitrarily placed on the transfer conveyor 2. In the method for manufacturing crab foot-style kamaboko, which is produced by folding the kamaboko in a zigzag manner to a width of located on the left and right sides of the top, in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the transfer conveyor 2,
Width regulating rolls 4a, 4a that rotate inward are provided facing each other, and a large number of receiving trays 4c, which are located between these rolls and have rising sides 4b, 4b on both sides, are connected and provided on the transfer conveyor. Alternatively, instead of the transfer conveyor 2, a large number of these receiving trays 4c are directly connected and provided to move endlessly, and the strip-shaped kamaboko 1 is dropped onto the receiving tray 4c to regulate the width of the zigzag-shaped striped kamaboko 1'. It consists of a method.

Incidentally, the ratio between the speed S1 of the transfer conveyor and the falling speed S2 of the band-shaped kamaboko is 1:√2,
It is not limited to this value.

Further, the inclination angle θ of the transfer conveyor 2 is suitably up to about 45° from near horizontal.

Further, a groove 4d is bored in the bottom of the tray 4c so that the cutter 5 for making a cut 3 in the zigzag-shaped obi kamaboko 1' folded in a zigzag manner does not come into contact with the bottom of the tray. In the drawing, two strips are shown, but the number varies depending on the number of cutters 5.

Further, the cutter 5 is provided with a press roll 6, which makes the cuts 3 with the cutter 5 while holding down the zigzag-shaped obi kamaboko 1'.

(Function) Next, to explain the function of the present invention, when the strip-shaped kamaboko 1 cut into thin lines is sequentially dropped parallel to the feeding direction of the transfer conveyor 2 and onto the center of the transfer conveyor 2, the transfer The speed of conveyor 2 is slower than the falling speed of belt-shaped kamaboko 1,
Moreover, since the transfer conveyor 2 is installed at an angle, the strip-shaped kamaboko 1 falls while swinging from side to side.
When it comes into contact with the regulation rolls 4a, 4a, its waist is bent and bent toward the center, and it falls into the tray 4c while sequentially bending left and right, so that the zigzag-shaped obi kamaboko 1', which is folded in a zigzag manner, has a constant width. The zigzag-shaped kamaboko 1' is regulated and continuously transported on a transport conveyor 2, and then a cutter 5 makes cuts 3 at least in the longitudinal direction.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, the zigzag-shaped kamaboko 1' formed by folding the kamaboko strips 1 cut into thin lines in a zigzag shape in the feeding direction has a width regulating roll 4a,
4a, the width of the tray 4 is uniformly regulated.
Since the kamaboko is placed on the base c, a uniform zigzag-shaped obi kamaboko 1' can always be formed, and long and short fibers can be formed appropriately.
It has a chewy texture similar to that of ``real crab legs,'' and can be manufactured continuously mechanically, so it has extremely beneficial effects.
