Description

Sesame Pancake Machine

The invention relates to a machine for making sesame pancakes-small spherical pancakes covered with sesame seeds, etc., and any edible finished product with the same characteristics as pancakes. Sesame pancakes are usually made for festivals.

Sesame Pancake ( Kuih Bijan/Kuih Buah Rotan/Kuih Redan ) is a popular Malay traditional dessert in Malaysia. The main ingredients of sesame pancakes include glutinous rice flour, sugar, water and sesame seeds. Although machines have been invented to replace hand-made, the method of making this kind of snack is still mainly manual or hand-made. A previous technology called "Machines for Making Sesame Pancakes" (MY-146485) is specially designed for small-quantity sesame pancake makers. The purpose is to replace the complicated manual production method while increasing the production speed and contributing to the hygiene of the production. Processing practice. Basically, this prior art includes a single-screw dough extruder modified from a meat grinder, with a dough inlet at the top of the extruder to make the dough into a smaller size; a template with three 1.0 cm diameters on it Die hole to fix the diameter of the extruded dough; rotate the 4-blade blade to cut the extruded dough into dough balls; roll the dough balls and coat the sesame seeds on the wire mesh drum; horsepower for all mechanical operating devices Three-phase motor; a motor converter that controls the operating speed and a skeleton that combines all the above components into a unit.

The main difficulty faced by past inventions was the sticking of the dough during cutting, shaping and sesame coating. Mainly due to the adhesive properties of glutinous rice flour, which makes the cut dough stick to the cutter The surface of the blade and the continuous rotation of the 4-leaf blade as the rotating blade leads to accumulation of sticky cutting dough. The same problem also occurs during shaping in the drum and sesame coating. Before there is enough time to be covered with sesame seeds, the dough balls adhere and accumulate on the inner wall surface of the wire mesh drum.

Another example of the prior art is US 6,113,960, which describes a method for coating block foods with powder materials. The device includes a cylinder with a pair of openings on opposite sides, and an engaging member mounted on the inner surface of the cylinder. When the drum rotates, the powder material is sieved through the engaging member. The feeding member extends through one of the openings and puts the piece of food into the drum, so that the piece of food is placed on the powder material located between each pair of adjacent engaging members at the bottom of the drum. The rotation of the drum makes the block-shaped food roll on the powder material, thereby completely coating the block-shaped food, and the clamping member lifts the coated food block to the upper part of the drum until the coated food block rolls or slides out of the clamping member. The discharging member is installed to receive the coated food piece rolled or slid out from the engaging member.

Undoubtedly, the disadvantages of the prior art are mainly due to the accumulation of the dough sticking to the blade and the dough during cutting, and the sticking and accumulation of the dough in the drum during shaping and sesame coating.

Therefore, there is a need for an invention that can overcome the above shortcomings.

In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the operation of the present invention starts with putting dough into the dough inlet (101). The size of the dough inlet (101) is 10.0 cm in height and 6.5 cm in diameter to put the pre-mixed dough. The put dough falls into the shell (103) with the aid of spiral rotation. The housing (103) has a rectangular appearance and the inner side is a hollow cylinder for inserting the spiral (105). The size of the spiral (105) is 22.0 cm in length, 7.0 cm in diameter and 4.0 cm in uniform spacing.

The rotation of the screw (105) transports the dough to the tapered channel (107) and the mold tube (109). When passing through the channel (107) and the mold tube (109), the dough size changes from large to small. The size of the tapered channel (107) is 13.0 cm long and is configured to reduce the dough size from 5.5 cm in diameter to 1.0 cm in diameter.

The dough extruded from a mold tube (109) with a uniform inner diameter of 1.0 cm, an outer diameter of 1.5 cm and a length of 7.0 cm is made into a dough to be cut with a reduced size of 1.0 cm in diameter. When the required length is reached, the rotary thread cutter (201) cuts the extruded dough into dough balls. The rotary wire cutter (201) is driven by a second motor (202) at a speed of 0-30 rpm. The cutting unit (200) further includes: a connecting rod (203) with a diameter of 0.16 cm and a length of 19.5 cm, which is connected to a wide U-shaped holding arm (205) with dimensions of 9.5 cm length, 3.2 cm height and 1.0 cm width; and Food grade stainless steel wire (201) with a diameter of 0.25 mm (0.01 inch) and a length of 9.5 cm.

The dough balls fall into the circular collector (303) filled with sesame seeds. The cross mixing combs (305a) and (305b) located in the circular collector (303) stir the dough balls above the sesame seeds to shape and coat the sesame seeds. The cross-mixing comb pair (305a), (305b) and its rotation in the circular collector (303) are driven by a third motor (301) at a speed of 0-30 rpm. Another function of the mixing combs (305a) and (305b) is to separate the dough balls to avoid sticking to each other.

Before frying, the sesame-coated dough balls in the collector (303) are moved to a sieve to remove excess sesame. The dough ball is cylindrical, but it expands into a spherical shape during frying. The circular collector (303) is designed in a variable manner to prevent excessive dough balls from being contained in the collector, resulting in incomplete sesame coating and accumulation of sticking dough balls.
