Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a bamboo ring manufacturing method and an apparatus therefor.

Traditionally, chikuwa is made by wrapping the raw material for fish meat paste around a skewer in the circumferential direction, so it is extremely difficult to form the cross-section in two or more colors or to form the cross-section into a shape other than circular. This is difficult, and the current situation is that it is limited to a single raw material of the same color, and its cross-sectional shape is circular and extremely monotonous.

In view of these current circumstances, the present invention provides a method and apparatus that can easily use a plurality of raw materials or colors, and can also form chikuwa in any cross-sectional shape to produce chikuwa with a color and texture that have never been seen before. The gist of the first invention is to transfer the skewer in the axial direction of the skewer while discharging the raw material from the periphery in the direction in which the skewer advances so that it is attached and molded around the skewer. In this method, a transfer device for transferring the skewer in the axial direction is provided at the bottom of the hopper containing the skewer, and a raw material forming die having a skewer passing tube in the center is installed in the front part of the transfer device, and the skewer is placed at the front end of the forming die. The gist is that a pair of opening/closing shutters are provided to allow the passage of water at all times.

To explain the details of the present invention, the skewer A accommodated in the skewer accommodating hopper 1 is connected to the skewer feeding piston 2.
and a transfer device 3 consisting of skewer rollers 2', 2'.
The raw material is continuously transferred one by one in the axial direction, and a raw material molding device 6 is provided at the front thereof, which has a skewer passage tube 4 in the center and a molding die 5 at the front.

Therefore, the cross section of the molding die 5 is circular, square,
It can be formed into any shape, such as a star shape, and is divided into arbitrary sections, such as in the radial direction or the circumferential direction.

For example, in the drawings of the embodiment, the molding nozzle 5 is composed of fan-shaped nozzles 7, 7, 8, 8 separated in the radial direction and an annular nozzle 9 on the outside thereof. The fan-shaped caps 8, 8 communicate with the compartment 10', the annular cap 9 communicate with the compartment 10'', and the compartments 10, 10', 10'' communicate with each other through pipes 11, 11', 11'', respectively. The transfer device 3 is connected to respective raw material supply devices (not shown), and the pumps of these raw material supply devices are configured to operate in synchronization with the transfer device 3.

Therefore, the transfer device 3 moves the skewer A to the skewer insertion tube 4.
At the same time, the raw materials for fish meat paste colored in different colors or the raw materials for fish meat paste and other dough ingredients such as cheese and livestock meat are stored in each raw material supply device and are pumped through the respective pumps. Chikuwa raw material B corresponding to the color raw material with the cross-sectional shape of 5 is attached and formed, and from the molding die of the example shown in FIG.
A chikuwa raw material having a cross section shown in FIG. 0 can be molded, and furthermore, a chikuwa raw material having a cross section as illustrated in FIG.

Further, a pair of opening/closing shutters 14 , 14 are provided in an overlapping state at the front end of the molding nozzle 5 , each having a raw material passage hole 13 with a skewer insertion recess 12 on one side thereof. , 14 are opened, the raw material passage holes 13, 13 are polymerized to enable the raw material to be discharged from the molding nozzle 5 and transferred through the skewer A, and when closed, the raw material passage holes 13, 1 are polymerized.
The skewer insertion recesses 12, 12 are joined to allow only the skewer A to be transported at all times, and the opening/closing shutters 14, 14 cannot be operated. It is constructed in conjunction with the transfer device 3 for the skewer A, so that when both ends of the skewer A pass, it is closed and the raw material is deposited and molded only on the center part of the skewer A.

The bamboo wheel raw material B, which has been molded onto the skewer A in this way, is supported and transferred by a conveying device 16 having a skewer support piece 15, and is then subjected to a sitting step in a conventional manner.
If necessary, it is sent to a roasting process after a steaming process, etc., to produce bamboo rings.

Therefore, it is preferable for the molding nozzle 5 to have the outer wall surface of the outermost layer of the nozzle protrude forward from the front end of the inner wall surface to promote adhesion of the molding materials discharged from each nozzle and to the skewer rod. In addition, the skewer A may be a stainless steel skewer that is removed after roasting as in the conventional method, or a bamboo skewer may be used and used as a product without being removed after roasting.

The present invention transfers the skewer in the axial direction while discharging the raw material from the periphery in the direction of movement of the skewer and attaching it to the skewer and molding it. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the bamboo ring can be formed into any shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the bamboo ring can be formed into any shape, unlike the conventional circular shape. Bamboo rings can be formed with any cross-sectional shape such as circular, square, star-shaped, etc. without being limited to the cross-section.

In addition, by dividing the molding die and discharging raw materials of different colors and different types, the cross section of the chikuwa can be molded in two or more different colors and with two or more kinds of raw materials, allowing for a variety of colors not seen in conventional chikuwa. It has the excellent feature of being able to produce chikuwa with good texture and taste, and further improving the commercial value of chikuwa.
