Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a continuous manufacturing method for confectionery and its apparatus, including a series of steps from forming a container from a heat-resistant film such as a transparent heat-resistant film to inserting confectionery dough and heating and baking. can be carried out continuously, automatically, and intensively, and furthermore, the resulting novel form of confectionery does not come into contact with the atmosphere at all during the process.
It relates to manufacturing equipment that can be manufactured in an extremely hygienic manner.

Generally, confectionery is made by molding dough into a desired shape, baking it, packaging it into the desired shape, and offering it to the market. For this reason, confectionery is manufactured through separate processes for manufacturing and packaging, and even though various automatic machines are manufactured for each process, this separation of processes is fatal to confectionery manufacturing.
We hope for that continuity. Furthermore, packaging the confectionery after manufacturing it results in the confectionery being cooled during packaging, which can be unsanitary depending on how it is handled during packaging, and improvement of this problem is desired from a public health perspective.

Recently, a heat-resistant film made of synthetic resin has been developed to replace aluminum foil, etc., and this film has sufficient transparency. Therefore, by using this film, the inside of the mold can be observed from the outside, and unlike conventional containers, when the film is simply folded and molded, the container and the confectionery inside become one. There is a possibility that new confectionery can be continuously molded.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and in particular, it is possible to continuously and automatically manufacture confectionery by baking confectionery dough after packaging it, and moreover, to create a confectionery in which the confectionery dough is hardly exposed to outside air during manufacturing. The purpose is to propose a continuous manufacturing method and its equipment.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

Note that FIG. 1 is a flow sheet showing each step of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of an example of an apparatus for carrying out the present invention.

First, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a winding reel, and a band-shaped transparent heat-resistant film 2, preferably a transparent film, is wound on the winding reel 1. This heat-resistant film 2 is rewound and fed to a feed roller 4 through a guide roller 3, and the band-shaped heat-resistant film 2 is cut into required dimensions by a cutter, and the cut heat-resistant film, that is, the cut film 6 is supplied to a container molding device 7. The container molding device 7 includes a molding rod 7a, and the molding rod 7a is supported so as to be vertically movable.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, a moving track 8 is provided at the bottom of this molded rod 7a, and this moving track 8 is made to be able to move in a straight line. and attach the receiving mold 9. Each of these receiving molds 9 is configured to be aligned with the molding rod 7a as described later, and in particular, the lower part of the molding rod 7a is aligned with the receiving mold 9, and the shape of the molding rod 7a and the receiving mold 9 is the same as that of the confectionery to be molded. It is preferable to match the shape.

Next, as described above, the receiving mold 9 is installed on the moving track 8, and the container molding device 7 is placed on the receiving mold 9, and the container molding device 7, especially the molding rod 7a, is placed on the receiving mold 9.
The cut film 6 is supplied under the molding rod 7a, and in this state, the forming rod 7a is lowered. In this way, the cut film 6 is extruded by the molding rod 7a and the container 10 is molded.

Further, in this case, the container molding device 7 has a molding rod 7a.
A guide plate 11 is disposed around the vertically moving locus. When the container molding device 7 is configured in this way, the cut film 6 is molded while being restrained by the guide plate 11 while the peripheral edge of the cut film 6 descends together with the molding rod 7a, and the container 10 is formed. .

Next, the container 10 molded as described above is sent along the moving path in the leading direction. In addition, the confectionery dough is dripped from the lower part of the dough insertion device 12, and
Insert the fabric into 0. In addition, the insertion device 12 usually has a hopper-like storage tank 12a as shown in FIG.
It is sufficient to consist of the following: and the cutting opening 1b at the tip thereof. Furthermore, when inserting fillings such as bean paste along with the dough, a filling insertion device may be provided adjacent to the dough insertion device 12, and a plurality of these insertion devices for dough, fillings, etc. may be provided as required. I can do it.

Next, the confectionery dough and, if necessary, the contents are inserted into the container 10 as described above, and the open portion at the top thereof is sealed. In this case, the container 10 is moved along the moving track 8 to the sealing means 13, and the container 10 is moved to the sealing means 13.
Seal by. Further, the sealing device 13 can be configured in any manner, but for example, a cut film can also be configured as a heat sealing device.

Next, after sealing the opening of the container 10, the confectionery dough inside is sent to the moving track 8 together with the container 10 and enters the heating device 14, where it is heated while the moving track 8 is continuously moving. . This heating device is
Consisting of a tunnel kiln, the shape of the confectionery is not damaged due to the packaging condition, especially during baking of the confectionery dough. Also, at this time, the outer container 10
When molding from a transparent heat-resistant film,
The baked confectionery dough inside is exposed to the outside through the container 10, and new forms of confectionery can be manufactured.

In other words, confectionery that is generally packaged is surrounded by an external packaging material, so that the shape of the confectionery is not exposed to the outside, and since the packaging material forms part of the flavor of the confectionery, the design of the packaging material, etc. Many of them are elaborately designed. On the other hand, if the packaging container is transparent, the shape and pattern of the confectionery inside will be exposed to the outside as is, and furthermore, these will be exposed on the surface through the container, resulting in a three-dimensional and novel form.

As explained in detail above, the present invention involves continuously unwinding a belt-shaped heat-resistant film from a winding reel, cutting it into required dimensions, and then folding it with a container molding device having a molding rod to form a container. In this container,
After inserting confectionery dough, etc., the dough is heated in this state. Therefore, since the confectionery dough inside is heated without being exposed to air, confectionery can be manufactured in an extremely hygienic manner.

In addition, since the container is shaped in a folded state, when eating or drinking, the container can be easily pushed open by opening the seal at the top, and the confectionery can be eaten through the container in this unfolded state. It is extremely convenient and hygienic.

Also, we can mold containers, insert confectionery dough, seal,
Since it consists of processes such as heating, it can be compactly integrated up to the manufacturing and packaging of confectionery, and everything is fully automated.
It also becomes easier to handle.
