Referring to FIG. 1, another snack manufacturing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes a processing unit 110 for processing raw materials, and a frying unit 120 for tangling the processed product 170 produced by the processing unit using mixed oil. And it may include a solution addition unit 130 for adding a mixed solution to the fried work 170.

Raw materials may be cereals, vegetables, meat, etc., which can be prepared as snacks. In addition, the raw materials may also include already processed products, for example, candy, syrup, and the like. However, it is not limited thereto.

The processing unit 110 processes unprocessed raw materials to facilitate frying. Therefore, in order to process the raw material, the processing unit 110 may perform various operations. For example, a peeling operation of the input raw material, a proper trimming of the peeled raw material, a slicing operation, a washing operation, a drying operation so that water is below a certain condition, a foreign substance removal operation, and the like can be performed. However, it is not limited thereto.

For example, when manufacturing potato chips using potatoes as raw materials, peel the peeled potatoes with an abrasive or brush. Trim scratches, protruding stems, etc. on the peeled potato surface. Put the trimmed potatoes in a slicing device with a winged blade to obtain thin chip-shaped potatoes. The starch present on the surface of the obtained potato chips is placed in a tumbler or drum and washed for about 100 seconds. Then, water is removed by using an air knife (Knife) or an air sweeper so that the surface of the sliced potato is about 8% or less.

The workpiece 170 processed in the processing unit 110 is moved to the frying unit 120 by a transport unit 150 such as a conveyor belt. The fryer 120 may be supplied with oil through the first oil pipe 160a to perform the operation of frying the work piece 170 for a specific temperature and time. The frying method may use a tangling method, but is not limited thereto.

The mixed oil may be a mixture of two or more oils such as vegetable oil, rapeseed oil, palm olein oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, and soybean oil in an appropriate ratio.

The mixed oil includes different oils, and the mixing ratio of the first oil may be higher than the mixing ratio of the second oil. For example, when the first oil is palm olein oil and the second oil is sunflower oil, palm olein oil and sunflower oil may be mixed in a 7:3 ratio. However, it is not limited thereto.

For example, when manufacturing potato chips, the thinly sliced potato chips are moved to the frying part 120. The frying part 120 is controlled by an electronic device (not shown) so that the cover is closed when about 3 seconds have elapsed since the potato chips were put in. The frying part 120 is supplied with a mixed oil of 7:3 palm olein oil and sunflower oil through the first oil pipe 160a and performs the operation of frying potato chips at about 180°C for about 2 minutes 30 seconds. do. After the frying operation, the mixed oil is discharged to the second oil pipe 160b disposed horizontally with the ground among the two discharge pipes disposed under the frying portion 120. The fried potato chips are moved to the solution addition unit 130 through the transport unit 150.

The solution adding unit 130 performs an operation of adding a mixed solution to the fried processed product 170. The structure of the solution addition unit 130, a method of adding a mixed solution, etc. will be described in detail in FIG. 2.

Here, the mixed solution may include a mixed oil and a raw material powder. Further, raw material powder may be added so that the concentration of the mixed solution is 6 to 10%. The preferred concentration for the snack purchaser to provide adequate flavor can be about 7%. However, it is not limited thereto.

For example, a mixed oil obtained by mixing the above-described palm olein oil and sunflower oil in a 7:3 ratio as a solvent, and using potato powder as a solute, may have a concentration of about 7%.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the same mixed oil as the mixed oil used in the frying part can be included in the mixed solution to reduce the cost in the process, and to enhance the flavor.

Here, the snack manufacturing apparatus may further include a seasoning additive 140 for seasoning the workpiece 170 to which the mixed solution is added.

The seasoning adding unit 140 may be added by spraying or applying a solid powder or liquid on the surface of the workpiece 170. The solid powder may be salt, sugar, onion, red pepper, green pepper, apple, strawberry, etc., and the liquid may be maple syrup, chocolate syrup, soy sauce, chili sauce, or the like. However, it is not limited thereto.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, there is an effect of further enhancing the natural flavor of the raw material in the snack or maintaining a crispy texture.

2 is a view schematically showing the interior of the solution adding portion according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, the solution addition unit 130 includes at least one tube 230 and a tube 210 arranged to allow a mixed solution to flow into the container 210 and the container 210 that can accommodate a plurality of workpieces.

In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the member 220 may have a triangular pyramid shape, but may also be a hexahedron and is not limited thereto.

The tube 230 is formed so that the mixed solution can be introduced into the container 210. The tube 230 may be cylindrical as shown in FIG. 2, and the material of the tube 230 may be metal, plastic, rubber, or the like. However, it is not limited thereto.

The nozzle 240 may be separately disposed outside the tube 230 as illustrated in FIG. 2, but the entire surface of the tube 230 may also be configured as the nozzle 240. Here, the nozzle 240 may be two or more. In addition, the nozzle 240 may be an air spray method for spraying in one direction or all directions. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

As described above, the mixed oil includes different oils, and the mixing ratio of the first oil may be higher than the mixing ratio of the second oil.

As described above, the mixed solution may include a mixed oil and a raw material powder. Raw material powder may be added so that the concentration of the mixed solution is 6 to 10%. The preferred concentration for the snack purchaser to provide adequate flavor can be about 7%. However, it is not limited thereto. For example, a mixed oil obtained by mixing the aforementioned palm olein oil and sunflower oil in a 7:3 ratio as a solvent, and using potato powder as a solute, a mixed solution having a concentration of about 7% can be prepared.

For example, when the fried potato chips are put into the solution adding portion 130, the container 210 is rotated in the solution adding portion 130. The fried potato chips are evenly mixed by the grazing member 220 existing inside the container 210. A mixture of palm olein oil and sunflower oil in a 7:3 mixed oil and potato powder concentration 7% mixed solution flows into the tube 230 and is ejected through the nozzle 240 into fried potato chips.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the same mixed oil as the mixed oil used in the frying part can be included in the mixed solution to reduce the cost in the process, and to enhance the flavor.
