a and the right side pressing piece 22b are moved toward the rear side from the front side of the transfer member 1 while narrowing the distance between each other by guiding the a and the right side pressing piece 22b so that they can move in a direction approaching each other with respect to the support member 23. And By doing so, the width of the flow passage 9 can be gradually narrowed from the front side toward the rear side. At that time, if the powdery substance is bread crumbs or the like,
Although it may scatter during use and bite into the powder pressing device to hinder the movement of the device, and as a result, the powder pressing device may become inoperable. In order to sequentially move each of the side pressing pieces 22b, a support member 2 for each of the left side pressing piece 22a and the right side pressing piece 22b is formed by a powdery material.
The movement with respect to 3 is not obstructed and can be smoothly moved at all times.

When they are formed side by side, it is difficult to drop them downward only from the gap between the rollers, but as in this embodiment, the wire rod is formed into a spiral shape and the gaps 42 ... 42 are provided in the axial direction. By setting it, it can be easily dropped from the gaps 42 ... 42 and the gaps 43 ... 43. In addition, the extra bread crumbs P dropped downward are received by the second conveyor 5 as described above, and are again fed to the first conveyor 3
Sent to.

In the present invention, the side pressing member 22 is provided.
a ... 22b and a plurality of left side pressing pieces 22a
It is composed of a number of right side pressing pieces 22b,
As a form separate from the present invention, for example, a pair of left and right circulation
It is also possible to comprise the belts 10a and 10b.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the circulation belt 10a,
10b are separated by a predetermined distance between the left part and the right part on the upper side of the first conveyor 3 (the upper part and the lower part in FIG. 9 (A)), and the intervals gradually decrease toward the rear side (X direction in the drawing). By arranging so that the flow passage 9 is gradually narrowed, the flow passage 9 is formed therebetween. The front part and the rear part are respectively wound around the belt winding wheels 11, 11 so that, as the belt winding wheel 11 rotates, each of the facing surfaces forming the flow passage 9 has the first conveyor. It is adapted to be movable to the rear side in the same direction as the movable direction of 3. In this way, when the powdered member H transferred on the first conveyor 3 passes through the flow passage 9, the circulation belts 10a and 10b respectively transfer the powdered material P to the left and right side surfaces of the powdered member H. Press down.

However, such a circulation belt 10a,
In the case of the configuration of 10b, the powder P may enter and be caught between the belt winding wheel 11 and the circulation belts 10a and 10b, or between the circulating belts, and the operation of the circulation belts 10a and 10b may occur during work. It may be forced to stop . In that respect, as in the invention of the present application, if each of the left side pressing pieces 22a and the plurality of right side pressing pieces 22b is configured, the left side pressing pieces 2a
2a and the right side pressing piece 22b can move independently of each other, and there is no risk of the powdery material P getting in and biting.
This is advantageous because it can be operated smoothly at all times.

Further, in the present embodiment, the upper pressing member 2
22 are moved over the entire range of the flow passage 9 together with the lateral pressing members 22a ... 22b.
Not limited to this form, the upper pressing members 21 ... 21
It may be configured separately from the above and may be arranged on the front side or the rear side of the side pressing members 22a ... 22b. However,
The upper pressing member 21 ... 21 and the lateral pressing member 22a
22b are arranged so that their front and rear positions are offset from each other, for example, the upper pressing members 21 ...
If it is arranged on the front side of 2a ... 22b, after the powdery material P is pressed and attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the member H to be powdered by the upper pressing members 21 ... 21, the side pressing members 22a ... 22b are used. Since the powdery material P is pressed against the left and right sides of the powdered member H, the powdery material P previously pressed against the upper and lower surfaces of the powdered material H may be peeled off when the side pressing members 22a ... 22b are pressed. Occurs. Therefore, it is preferable to simultaneously press the upper pressing members 21 ... 21 and the lateral pressing members 22a.

Further , the upper pressing members 21 ... 21 are not limited to those in the above-mentioned embodiment, but may be constituted by a rotating roller as shown in FIG. 10 and can be appropriately changed. Then, the pressing is instantaneously ended, and it is difficult to reliably attach the powdery material P to the powdered member H. In that respect, as in the above-described embodiment, the lateral pressing members 22a ... 22b and the upper pressing members 21 ... 21 are arranged over a predetermined length in the front-rear direction, and the powdery material P is gradually dusted along with the transfer. By pressing it against the member H, it can be surely attached, which is preferable.

Further, in this embodiment, the distance between the left side pressing piece 22a and the right side pressing piece 22b is narrowed by the lower guide pieces 24a, 24a, and the narrowed distance is made by the upper guide pieces 25a, 25a. Although the upper guide pieces 25a, 25a are not provided, for example, the left side pressing piece 22a and the right side pressing piece 22b are biased by a coil spring and the left side pressing piece 22a and the right side pressing piece 22a are returned. When the one-way pressing piece 22b moves in the outward path 23a, the lower guide pieces 24a, 24a gradually decrease the distance toward the rear side against the urging force of the coil spring, and when entering the outward path 23a, the original force is applied by the coil spring. It may be performed by returning to the interval.

On the other hand, the food dusting device 2 may be manually placed on the dusting member H in a conveyor shape as shown in FIG. 10, for example, even if it is not used in the above automatic food continuous molding device. Alternatively, the powdered material P may be applied to the powdered member H by hand, which may be appropriately changed.

Further, in this embodiment, the case where bread crumbs are added to the fried food is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this form,
It can be used in the case of attaching meliken powder, sugar, kinako, tree nuts, etc. to various foods, can be applied in the case of attaching various powders to various foods, and can be appropriately changed.
