JPS645469A - Continuous and automatical production of kinuage (a sort of fried bean curd) - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically carry out processes from production of TOFU (soybean curd) to ABURAAGE (fried bean curd), by discharging TOFU (soybean curd) into a hot water vessel having dead germ temperature and transferring, cutting and separating the TOFU while immersing the TOFU in hot water, pulling up the TOFU by a cloth belt conveyer, cutting water with a belt for cutting water and then feeding the TOFU into a bean curd frying apparatus. CONSTITUTION:TOFU (soybean curd) obtained by pouring and bending a proper amount of solidifying agent into soy-milk obtained by squeezing soybean, continuously transferring the blend through an inner part of the solidifying vessel 11 and solidifying the blend is successively discharged into a hot water vessel 2 kept in dead germ temperature and transferred without floating inner vessel 2. The TOFU is cut into the required size in hot water and separated every each. TOFU water cut on a conveyer 8 by water cutting belt 9 from upper part of the conveyer 8 on the way successively pulling the cut TOFU up by a cloth belt conveyer 8 and transferring the TOFU to a bean curd frying apparatus. Thus processes from production of TOFU through cutting, water cutting to bean curd frying process can be continuously, automatically and hygienically carried out.
