Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a method for automatically rolling out and heating plastic food materials such as wheat flour and glutinous rice into a product. It is.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional method for processing food materials as described above has been to roll them out on a processing table using a craftsman's rolling pin and then heat them on a heated iron plate to produce a product.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the general conventional method as mentioned above, the food material on the processing table is rolled while rolling the rolling pin. A high degree of skill is required to adjust the direction and speed of rolling.

Therefore, there is a problem in that only a skilled person with many years of experience can carry out processing, and even a skilled person has a limit to processing efficiency.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention arranges a nearly horizontal endless belt and a pressure means for spreading and pressing the food material having plasticity supplied onto the endless belt. The means is heated to an appropriate temperature so that the food material can be easily peeled off from the food material after being spread and pressed, and the food material that has been spread and peeled from the upper pressure means is conveyed together with the lower belt while being heated to an appropriate temperature to release the food material from the lower part. To provide a food processing method that converts food materials on an endless belt into products, makes them easy to peel, and discharges the products from the bottom of the endless belt.

The receiving box 27 is designed to receive scraped items.

The tail pulley 3 is adjustable by a tick-up provided on the rear extension 6, so that the tension run of the belt 5 can be adjusted to m knots.

Further, in the case of the above embodiment, a Chuko Flow (trademark of Chukoh Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.) belt is used as the material for the endless belt 5. The belt is made of a base fabric made of woven fibers treated with tetrafluoroethylene resin. However, belt 5
As the material, copper plates connected in an endless track may be used, and mold release oil may be applied onto the copper plates.

The first apparatus for carrying out this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and now uses a plastic raw material, that is, wheat flour kneaded with water,
Alternatively, glutinous rice is steamed and made using a sticky machine, and a fixed amount of other plastic food material 28 is placed on the belt 5 at the rear projecting portion 6 at fixed intervals.

The loaded material 28 advances intermittently at regular intervals with the intermittent drive of the belt 6 and enters the lower part of the upper pressing means 15.
It stops together with the belt 5.

As mentioned above, under the condition that the material 28 is stopped at the lower part of the upper pressure means 15, the hydraulic cylinder 17 works, and the pressure means 1
5 descends and the material 28 on the belt 5 is pressurized and flattened.

In this way, when the pressurizing means 15 is held for 2 to 3 seconds with the material 28 being expanded and pressed, the upper part of the food material 28 is baked, so when the pressurizing means 15 is raised, the food material 28 is removed from the pressurizing means 15. It peels off and remains on the belt 5.

After the pressurizing means 15 is raised as described above, the heald 5 moves together with the material 28. By repeating this action, the material 28, which has been rolled out at regular intervals, is moved on the belt δ, while the lower part is heated by the heater 24, and is separated from the top pulley 2 and collected.

In the above device, the stroke of the pressure means 15 is adjustable, the stroke of the pressure means 15 is constant, the pressure means 15 is detachable, and the pressure means 15 have different thicknesses.
The thickness of the material being pressurized can be adjusted freely by attaching a

〔effect〕

This invention feeds a plastic food material onto an endless belt that moves intermittently or continuously, and pressurizes the food material on the belt by a pressure means while the belt is stopped or while it is moving, so it does not require manual labor. It allows food to be rolled out very efficiently without the need for a treadmill, and its thickness can be adjusted freely. Furthermore, when a belt treated with tetrafluoroethylene resin is used as an endless belt, it is difficult for the rolled and pressed food material to adhere to the belt, but at room temperature the rolled and pressed food may not completely separate from the belt. be. However, if the belt is heated and the surface of the food is baked to an appropriate degree, it will be easier to peel off, so processing with tetrafluoroethylene resin is not necessarily necessary.

Further, for the same reason, by heating the pressure member and baking the surface in contact with the pressure member, it is easy to separate the pressure member from the pressure member. Therefore, since the rolled and pressed food can be completely peeled off from the belt and recovered, there is a unique effect that there is almost no generation of defective products.
