Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing kamaboko without a board, which enables mass production of kamaboko of various shapes without using kamaboko boards.

Traditionally, kamaboko plates were made by steaming or roasting a soft fish paste material molded into a certain shape with a plate on it, and were mainly used to prevent the kamaboko from losing its shape and to absorb moisture from the kamaboko to make it last a little longer. However, with the spread of refrigerators and improvements in packaging technology, the need for kamaboko boards has become less and less necessary. Disadvantages are becoming more and more obvious, such as the need for additional processing, the cost of boarding, becoming household waste, becoming a breeding ground for germs, the transfer of odors to the dough, and the possibility of board cracking during transportation.

In other words, when we think of kamaboko, we generally associate it with semi-cylindrical kneaded meat stuck to a board, and because we unconsciously no longer think of it as separate from the board, it is said that the board is simply used customarily. However, if you think about it, there is a growing number of voices from consumers saying that for the reasons mentioned above, there is no need for it.

Therefore, the present invention was researched in view of the above-mentioned current situation. We have developed a completely new method for producing kamaboko without a board.The purpose is to enable mass production by applying continuous molding and a series of primary packaging processes, and to create a hygienic and moldable kamaboko. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing kamaboko without a board, which has various advantages such as preventing collapse of kamaboko and eliminating the need to significantly change the conventional method for manufacturing kamaboko.

Next, the manufacturing method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

First, the primary packaging film 1 having folded portions 1a formed at regular intervals is transported at a constant speed, and the molded raw material 2 is continuously applied to the upper surface of the film 1 in this transported state.

Here, the primary packaging film 1 in the example uses an inner film 1' made of vinylidene chloride or the like and an outer film 1'' made of moisture-proof cellophane or the like.
may be one or two or more.

Furthermore, as a means for forming the folding portions 1a at regular intervals in the primary packaging film 1, an endless transfer conveyor provided with a large number of molds 3 and a folding tool 4 as shown in the figure are used. In short, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, as long as the folding portions 1a are formed at regular intervals and the primary packaging film 1 can be transported at a constant speed in that state.

The forming material 2 is applied using a molding machine 6 having a nozzle 5 as shown in the figure, and is continuously applied to the upper surface of the primary packaging film 1 instead of the conventional kamaboko plate. Depending on the shape of the cap 5, the cross-sectional shape can be semicircular as shown in FIG. 1, circular as shown in FIG. 2, or various other shapes. Depending on the arrangement, it can be placed at the end of the primary packaging film 1, as shown in FIG. 1, or at the center, as shown in FIG.

Next, the molded material 2 is cut at the folded portion 1a of the primary packaging film 1 to obtain a unit molded raw material 2a, and the film 1 is cut at the center of the folded portion 1a. End face width 1.1 for unit type kneaded raw material 2a
Let us assume that the film unit 1b has .

Here, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, cutting the raw material and cutting the film are performed using separate cutters 7 and 8, and the process is such that the raw material is cut and then the film is cut.
Both cuts may be made simultaneously with the same cutter.

Further, the formation of the folded portion 1a in the primary packaging film 1 is important in that the film unit 1b has an end face width tt with respect to the unit type kneaded raw material 2a, and subsequent packaging is possible. Therefore, it is preferable to cut the film 1 not at the offset end of the folded portion 1a but at the folding line position that is approximately in the center of the folded portion 1a. be able to.

Next, as described above, after going through the shaping of the dough using the primary packaging film 1 instead of the kamaboko plate and the packaging preparation process, the unit-shaped dough material 2a is wrapped around the circumference and end-wrapped by the film unit 1b. At the same time, heat sealing is performed to form a unit-shaped kneaded raw material 2a that is fully packaged.

Here, to explain the packaging process according to the embodiment, first, the unit-shaped kneaded raw material 2a is wound around the film unit 1b to wrap the circumferential surface, and the overlapping part of the packaging is heat-sealed by heating plates 9, 9. Thereafter, the end face is wrapped by folding, and the folded portion is heat-sealed using heating plates 10, 10 to form a unit-shaped kneaded raw material 2a fully wrapped as shown in FIG.

However, the steps in this packaging process are not limited to those in the embodiments, and in short, it is sufficient if the entire surface can be packaged without direct contact with the outside air and without losing its shape.

Next, the kamaboko is heated through a conventional kamaboko manufacturing process using a steamer, a roaster, etc., and a cooling step, followed by secondary packaging as an outer packaging, to produce the desired plateless kamaboko.

Here, in the heating step, the unit molded product 2a that is fully packaged may be heated as it is, but it may also be heated using a retainer case or a one-way tenner.

Therefore, according to the manufacturing method of the present invention, the molded raw material 2 is continuously applied onto the primary packaging film 1 to be transferred, and since the packaging can also be applied with an automatic packaging machine, various cross-sections can be formed. This has the effect that it is possible to mass-produce shaped kamaboko without a plate.

In addition, since the molded raw material 2 is applied to the primary packaging film 1 without touching the conveyor, etc., and the primary packaging is performed immediately after molding, the time for exposure to the atmosphere is shortened, and further, edge packaging is possible. Because it is fully packaged, including food, hygiene, which is important for food, is sufficiently ensured.

In addition, since the molded raw material 2, which deforms when left for a long time, is entirely wrapped with the secondary packaging film 1 immediately after molding, deformation of the peripheral surface and end surface is prevented, and deformation can be prevented.

In addition, since the heating process, cooling process, and product packaging process are no different from conventional ones, the equipment used for these processes can be used as is to produce kamaboko without boards, which requires major equipment changes and extensive equipment costs. It has a number of characteristics, including the fact that it never happens.
