Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a molding device for plateless kamaboko that molds fish meat paste raw material in order to produce so-called plateless kamaboko without a kamaboko plate.

The conventional molding device for kamaboko with plates uses a continuous molding machine to apply a soft fish meat mixture to the upper surface of the kamaboko plates, which are transferred in series with each other, and then cuts the mixture using a cutter at the joint between the plates. However, from the viewpoint of food hygiene, these soft plate-shaped kamaboko, which used to be a molding device that applied the raw material to each kamaboko board, are now being heat-sterilized and solidified by steaming or roasting. Previously, most of the methods used were to completely wrap the product in a resin film using a commercially available packaging machine and heat treat it to improve the aesthetic appearance of the packaging form, prolong its shelf life, and improve quality retention.

However, kamaboko boards have a woody smell and are undesirable as they become a breeding ground for bacteria due to humidification during steaming, but they are used as the simplest form-holding material, and after being served before a meal, the boards are discarded and their useful value is Due to the recent rise in the cost of wood and processing, consumers are increasingly demanding kamaboko without a board.

Therefore, a continuous molding device that uses a resin film as a board instead of the above-mentioned kamaboko board to produce kamaboko without a board can be considered, but the raw material for molding placed on the film is fixed together with the film before or after heating. Even if the film can be cut into small pieces, the cut end will always be exposed, and in order to complete the primary packaging, it will be necessary to wrap it in another film, resulting in multiple packaging, leading to wasted film, and when wrapping separately. Before heating, the raw material is soft and tends to lose its shape toward the open part, resulting in defective products.After heating, the film and raw material do not adhere well, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria and reduce the packaging effect. It has drawbacks,
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a kneading material g is continuously molded on the upper surface of a wide primary packaging film f to be transferred, and the film f is cut into lengths of unit molding material g'. Although it is possible to wrap the peripheral surface of the molding raw material g' with the film f', the cut end surface must be wrapped with another film, and the above-mentioned drawback is unavoidable.

The molding device of the present invention was developed based on research based on the above-mentioned points, and has completed a completely new molding device that is equipped with the necessary elements to manufacture kamaboko without a board.
The purpose is to provide a molding device that can continuously mold plateless kamaboko that is hygienic and does not lose its shape.

The main structure of the molding apparatus of the present invention is that the machine frame 1
An endless transfer conveyor consisting of a large number of formworks 2 connected to each other is provided, and a film roll 3 for spreading the next packaging film 3a is arranged on the upper surface of the formwork 2. A folding means 4 for folding the film 3a downward between adjacent forms 2, a molding machine 5 for continuously extruding and molding the raw material into the primary packaging film 3a to be transferred in a folded state, and a folding position. In this structure, cutters 6 for cutting the raw material E for molding and kneading are sequentially arranged on the upper surface of the mold frame 2 .

Next, the molding apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail below based on an example of implementation shown in the drawings.

First, the endless transfer conveyor is constructed by installing a drive shaft 7 and a rotation shaft 8 on a machine frame 1, and chain wheels 9, 10 on both shafts 7, 8.

A mold 2 is provided in the mold 2, and the mold 2 is configured to be transported at a constant speed by a driving means such as an electric motor.

The above is the conveyor configuration in the embodiment, but in short, the conveyor is not limited to the embodiment and can be used as long as it is formed so that a large number of mutually connected formworks 2 are transported at a constant speed. It may also be a conveyor arrangement with displacement means.

Next, film rolls 3', 3'' are arranged on the upper surface of the formwork 2 for spreading the primary packaging film 3a consisting of an inner film 3a' and an outer film 3a'' in an overlapping state.

Here, in the embodiment, an inner film 33' made of vinylidene chloride or the like and an outer film 3a made of moisture-proof cellophane or the like are used.
The primary packaging film 3a is made of a double film structure with ", but it is not limited to the embodiment, and the primary packaging film may be a single film or two or more.
Even in the case of a large number of films, the structure is not limited to overlapping the films unwound from each film roll.
It is also possible to use a single roll of films that have been stacked in advance.

The primary packaging film 3a has a double film structure consisting of an inner film 33' that is resistant to heat and has good separation properties, and an outer film 3a" that is sensitive to heat but has good adhesion and has a long shelf life effect by blocking air. Even when one type is adopted, it is preferable from the viewpoint of the long-lasting effect of the product and the ease of peeling off the film when peeling it off.

Next, the folding means 4 is provided with an interlocking structure 13 on the machine frame 1 that interlocks with the projections 12 provided at the bottom of the respective formworks 2 . The lifting rod 15 having a
Folding plate 1 that slides in the horizontal direction by 6, 16, 16
7 is provided, and the folding plate 17 is provided with a return spring 18.

That is, the folding means 4 in the embodiment is configured to form a folded portion in the primary packaging film 3a by vertically and horizontally moving the folding plate 17, and can horizontally move while the folding plate 17 is in the inserted state. As shown in FIG. 3, the adjacent surfaces of the formwork 2 are recessed 2a so that the folding plate 17 can be inserted together with the primary packaging film 3a.

However, the illustrated folding means is merely an example, and in short, various replacement means may be used as long as the folding means can form a folded portion in the primary packaging film 3a in the transported state.

Next, the molding machine 5 is shown as an embodiment in which a lower pipe 19 and a coating pipe 20 are connected to a molding mouthpiece 21, and kneading material is supplied to both pipes 19 and 20 by a gear pump or the like. It is.

In other words, although the embodiment shows continuous extrusion molding of two different colored kneaded materials into semicircular cross sections, molded materials with various cross sections can be formed depending on the shape of the molding nozzle 21. However, it can also be combined with various colors.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the molding machine 5 of the embodiment has a molding mouthpiece 21 disposed at the end of the primary packaging film 3a, which facilitates peripheral wrapping at the primary packaging stage. The arrangement of the molding nozzle 21 is not limited to the embodiment, and may be placed at any position.

Next, the cutter 6 is for cutting the molded raw material E at the folding position of the primary packaging film 3a, and is configured to operate at the folding position in conjunction with a phototube switch or the like. be.

In addition, what is indicated by 22 in the figure is a primary packaging film cutter,
23 is a solenoid for operating the cutter 22, 24 is a switch for the solenoid 23, 25 is a transfer arm for transferring to the packaging machine, and 26 is a vertical groove into which the arm 25 is inserted.

Therefore, when molding a plateless kamaboko using the molding apparatus of the present invention, the primary packaging film 3a unwound onto the upper surface of the mold 2, which is transferred at a constant speed, is first placed into the mold by the folding means 4. 2. Fold it downward between the adjacent parts.

Then, the molding material is continuously extruded into the primary packaging film 3a to be transferred in a folded state by a molding machine 5, and then the molding material E is cut at the folding position by a cutter 6, thereby cutting. The edge wrapping width T is equal to the width of the primary packaging film folded between the unit molded raw materials e.
can be formed.

That is, according to the molding apparatus of the present invention, firstly, the primary packaging film 3a has the function of receiving the bottom surface of the molding raw material E as a substitute for a plate, and furthermore, the primary packaging film 3a is hygienic and does not lose its shape. It has a function as a preparatory stage for packaging, and it is possible to continuously form kamaboko without a board while retaining these functions.

Therefore, to explain an example up to the primary packaging of boardless kamaboko using the molding machine of the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, first, in the case of FIG. 4, the film cutter is Cut from the folding position at 22 to form a film unit 3b having an end width of 1.1 as shown in B, wrap the circumference as shown in C, and wrap the end as shown in D to complete the primary packaging. It is something to do.

Next, the case shown in Fig. 5 is different from the semi-cylindrical shape in Fig. 4, except that it has a cylindrical shape, and that the unit molded raw material e is applied to the center part of the film unit 3b. This is the same as in FIG.

Next, in the case shown in FIG. 6, as shown in A, the width T for end face wrapping is extended as it is without cutting, and the circumference is wrapped with a heating roller 27, and as shown in B, the end face width is The film is cut so as to have a cross section 1, 1, and end-face wrapping is performed as shown in C to complete the primary packaging.

Since the molding device of the present invention can be configured and used as described above, it not only has the effect of continuously molding kamaboko without a board, but also allows molding raw material E to be molded into the primary packaging film 3a. It is hygienic because it can be coated and the next wrapping can be done after wrapping the whole surface, and there is no risk of it losing its shape because the circumferential wrapping and the end wrapping can be done in an orderly manner.

Furthermore, since it is fully packaged, it has the advantage that it is possible to use a one-sided retainer that is placed in a retainer case and heated.
