DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a noodle strip rolling noodle making apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional noodle making method using a noodle making machine, water is gradually added to flour, mixing is carried out, and the noodles are made by rough rolling-about 2 times of composite-about 4 times of rolling-cutting out. .

[0003]

The above-mentioned prior art has the following problems. The rolling step is a step of gradually thinning the noodle belt, and is the most important step when making noodles, and is an important step that affects the quality of the noodles. In this process, the quality of the noodles depends on how the gluten in the protein of the flour becomes. Conventional noodle-making machines have the function of rolling and gradually thinning the noodle band, so that the noodle band is sent in one direction as if crushed, and the noodle quality is hardened. No elasticity), easy to grow (pre-alpha), soft and elastic noodles like hand-made noodles could not be made, and the characteristics of flour could not be fully utilized. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the related art, and has as its object to provide the following. The present invention was made in order to eliminate the defects of the conventional noodle making method by rolling, without applying pressure to the noodle band, so as to extend, gluten gradually spread left and right, gradually thin the noodle band. It is intended to realize a method of doing so.

Therefore, udon is evaluated as being better than sanuki noodles,
With ramen noodles, it was possible to produce delicious noodles with sufficient elasticity without using water.

[0014]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. 1. Regarding the vertical noodle belt stretching device 2 The left and right conical spiral rollers 2B21, 2 constituting the conical spiral roller portion 2B2 of the vertical noodle belt stretching device 2
The pitch and rotation speed of the spiral and semi-elliptical thread M in B22 are determined by the conical spiral roller portion 2B2.
The distance between the left and right conical spiral rollers alone and the toothed belt is adjusted so that the volume of the noodle belt entering the inlet of the roller and the volume of the noodle belt exiting from the outlet of the conical spiral roller unit become the same. (See FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 for explaining the process of extending the noodle belt.) By making the noodles in such a state, the gluten of the flour is stretched to the left and right, and thinly forward. As a result, since noodles can be made without applying pressure to the noodle belt, soft and elastic noodles such as hand-made noodles can be obtained. 2. Regarding the horizontal noodle strip stretching device 3, the rotating speed of the stretching roller portion 3E is configured to be higher than the rotating speed of the belt 3C3 in the belt conveyor portion 3C, and the stretching rollers 3E4 and 3E4 in the stretching roller portion 3E are noodles. Since the noodle belt is advanced in the forward direction while rotating in reverse by contact with the band, it is possible to extend the noodle band while holding it. As a result of repeated experiments with the prototype machine, it was confirmed that soft noodles such as ramen, udon, and buckwheat could be made more elastic than handmade noodles. Ramen (noodles) is hardly digested and hardens the stomach because it uses water to harden the gluten in the flour. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain noodles having appropriate elasticity without using water. other than this,
It also has effects such as being inexpensive to manufacture, easy to assemble due to the small number of parts, and economical.
