Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable rapid and uniform drying of noodles, by slitting a noodle strip with a cutting roll into two groups of noodle strings, cutting the groups in separated state and hanging each string group over a hanger rod, thereby forming regular comb-teeth like gaps between the strings. CONSTITUTION:A noodle strip M is slit with a cutting roll 2 and noodle strings 4 are delivered in the form of a front raw and a rear row. Each row is separately cut and hung over hanging rods 8, 8'. The noodle strings are hung interposing regular comb-teeth like gaps therebetween to enable rapid and uniform drying of the noodle strings.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for increasing the drying efficiency and uniformly drying the product in the production of dried noodles and semi-dried noodles, particularly in the drying of highly hydrated noodles. and between the equipment.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the method for drying stick-shaped noodle strings has been to cut the noodle strips with a cutting blade roll, suspend the noodle strings as they are on a hanging rod, and dry them. However, since the noodle strings suspended on the hanging rod are in close contact with each other, this is not an ideal drying method [Problems to be solved by the invention] The present invention Conventionally, after cutting the noodle strips with a cutting blade, the noodle strings produced from one noodle strip are left in the same state as they are in the habo noodle strip, and are dried using a single hanging rod. Because the noodle strings were hung to dry, there was no space between them and they were in close contact with each other, so that at first glance they looked like a single striped strip, as shown in Figure 1. As a result, drying air does not penetrate into the inner surface of the noodle strings, and it is difficult for the drying air to penetrate into the inner surface of the noodle strings, resulting in uneven drying, resulting in a disadvantage that uniform and ideal drying cannot be achieved. In particular, when producing dried or semi-dried noodles made by drying short noodle strings called Shimada-kake, since the noodle strings are short, the sway due to wind force is extremely small compared to when long noodle strings are swayed. There are no gaps between the noodle strings, and as a result, the inside of the noodle strings dry more slowly than the outside, resulting in so-called uneven drying, which prevents the noodle strings from drying in a straight state, causing deformation of the noodle strings, and drying between the top lines. The adhesion of these substances has been a manufacturing problem. This tendency is particularly noticeable when noodles with added water are dried in order to improve the taste.

[Means to solve the problem]

In view of the above, the present invention, as a means for cutting the noodle strip M with a cutting blade, cuts the noodle strips produced from one noodle strip into one piece as it is.
Instead of hanging the noodle strings on a book hanging rod, if you leave a gap between each noodle string and dry them separately on two hanging rods, drying air can freely enter and exit from the gaps between the noodle strings. It was discovered that the entire noodle strings could be dried evenly, and the method and device thereof were completed.

It is well known that just below the cutting blade that produces noodle strings, the noodle strings are separated into two parts at one-length intervals by a thin plate called a scraper on the cutting blade. There is a means for transporting the noodle strings by further widening the front-to-back distance using a separating plate called a noodle string separator and placing a conveyor belt under the separating plate. However, as in the present invention, two noodle strings are provided from one noodle strip,
Conventionally, there was no method of hanging these noodle strings on a hanging rod to dry them.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on FIG. 3 of an illustrated embodiment. After kneading raw materials such as flour with water such as salt water using the usual method,! ! The noodle strips rolled by a noodle roll are rolled to a desired final noodle strip thickness by a noodle strip forming machine 1, cut into noodle strips by a cutting blade 2, and at the same time separated into front and back by a scraper 3.

The separated noodle strings descend along the chute 4, and chains 9 with hooks for transitioning to the hanging rods are installed in two upper and lower stages.
The knife blades 6 and 6' attached to the rotating knife shafts 7 and 7' cut the blades when they are aligned to a predetermined size. Then, the noodle strings 10' transferred by the hooked chain 9° are transferred via the transfer chain 11 to the intermediate points of the noodle strings 10 transferred at equal intervals by the hooked chain 9, and then transferred to the next point. It is then transferred to a transfer chain of drying equipment and dried in a conventional manner. The chains 9 and 9' with hanging hooks are driven through a transmission, and the speed can be changed freely so that the hanging bars are finally transferred to the Z-transfer chain at equal intervals.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the present invention, as described above, by providing a gap between each noodle string and drying it by separating it into two hanging rods, drying air can freely enter and exit from the gap between the noodle strings, so that the entire N string is Since the noodles can be dried evenly, the drying time of the noodles can be shortened, and since the noodles can be dried evenly, it is possible to manufacture noodle products with a uniform shape. Furthermore, in the present invention, the required dimensions of the noodle strip and the noodle string are the same even when the noodle strings are separated, so there is no need to change the dimensions of the hanging rod, and the existing transition drying device can be modified. It is an ideal drying method and drying device that can be easily introduced by modifying the cutting blade device of the noodle making machine and up to just before the related transition drying device.

Claims (2)

[Claims] (1) When cutting the noodle strings from the noodle strip, in the process of separating the noodle strings cut forward and backward by the cutting blade roll, the separated noodle strings are cut to a predetermined size, and the spacing between the noodle strings is adjusted using the comb teeth. A method for separating and drying noodle strings, which is characterized by transferring the noodle strings by suspending them on a hanger. (2) The noodle strip is rolled by a noodle-making roll, then cut into noodle strings by a cutting blade, and further separated into front and back by a scraper. The noodle strings are suspended on the hanging rods that move diagonally forward at equal intervals using a chain with hanging hooks installed in two stages. The noodle strings are transferred at equal intervals by the chain 9' with hooks, and the other noodle strings are transferred by the chain 9 at equally spaced intermediate positions, and the next transferred noodle strings are transferred to the transfer chain 15.
A device for separating and drying noodle strings, characterized in that the drying process is carried out through a process of sequentially transferring the noodle strings to a chain to a drying device using a conventional method.
