Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Purpose of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for filling fish paste products into edible film tubes, forming them into a predetermined flat cross-sectional shape, and cutting them into predetermined lengths. The purpose of this invention is to improve manufacturing efficiency and save labor by continuously and automatically performing cutting and cutting.

Conventional technology In order to improve the added value of producing seafood paste products using pasted raw materials such as pollock cod paste, we have recently developed delicacy seafood paste products such as crab legs, matsutake style, and squid pine cap grilled style. known to be manufactured.

One method is to fill edible tubes made of collagen or other material with kneaded ingredients and mold them into flat cross-sections, but conventionally, everything except the filling process has been done by hand, reducing manufacturing efficiency. There was a defect that it was difficult to uniformly fill and mold the kneaded raw material into a predetermined flat shape.

Structure of the Invention The present invention improves the above-mentioned defects and makes it possible to automatically and continuously mold high-quality flat fish paste products using a simple structure. At the tip of the pipe, there is a raw material return pipe that returns the raw material to the raw material supply device via an automatic switching valve, and an edible film tube can be fitted to the outer periphery of the pipe, and the tip is positioned above the starting end of a transfer belt that is driven intermittently. A forming roll that sequentially presses the raw material and a press belt that presses and molds the raw material are provided on the upper part of the transfer belt, and a raw material cutting device and the transfer belt are connected to the front part of the press belt. A conveyor belt is provided which is driven intermittently in synchronization with the conveyor belt, and a sensor is provided at a predetermined position of the conveyor belt to detect the leading edge of the raw material.
The gist of the present invention is to link detection by the sensor with an automatic switching valve and a raw material cutting device, so that the automatic switching valve allows the raw material transfer pipe to communicate with the raw material return pipe while the raw material cutting device is in operation. .

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. At the tip of a raw material transfer pipe 4 connected to a raw material supply device 3 having a hopper 1 and a feed pump 2, a raw material supply nozzle 5 and a raw material return pipe 6 are automatically switched. Connected via a valve 7 to the raw material supply nozzle 5
is formed such that an edible film tube 8 of collagen or the like can be fitted onto its outer peripheral surface and opens above the starting end of a transfer belt 9 which is driven intermittently.

Further, on the transfer belt 9, forming rolls 10, 10', 10'', which are driven intermittently in synchronization with the transfer belt 9 and sequentially increase the pressure, and a press belt 11 are provided, and in front of the press belt 11, forming rolls 10, 10', 10'', etc. A raw material cutting device 12 and a conveyor belt 13 which is driven intermittently in synchronization with the conveyor belt 9 are installed in each section, and a sensor 14 for detecting the tip of the raw material is provided at a predetermined position of the conveyor belt 13. .

The sensor 14 is electrically connected to the automatic switching valve 7, the transfer belt 9, the conveyor belt 13, the forming rolls 10, 10', 10''..., the press belt 11, and the raw material cutting device 12. When the tip is detected, the transfer belt 9, the conveyor belt 13, the forming rolls 10, 10', 10'' and the press belt 11 are stopped, and at the same time, the raw material cutting device 1 is stopped.
2 is activated, and the automatic switching valve 7 is further switched to connect the raw material transfer pipe 4 to the raw material return pipe 6 to return the raw material to the raw material supply device 3.

The raw material cutting device 12 includes a cylinder 15,
Presser guide 17 that moves up and down at 16 and cutting rotary blade 1
8, the cylinders 15 and 16 are driven by the detection by the sensor 14, respectively, and the presser guide 17 is moved down to press down the raw material, and at the same time, the cutting rotary blade 18 is moved up to cut the raw material. It is formed to do so. In addition, 19 in the figure is the cutting rotary blade 1.
8 is a cleaning nozzle, and 20 is a guide plate for the transfer belt 9.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the raw material for kneading in the raw material supply device 3 is discharged from the raw material supply nozzle 5 via the raw material transfer pipe 4, and is simultaneously filled into the edible film tube 8 while being transferred to the transfer belt. 9, and then, while being transferred on the transfer belt 9, it is sequentially pressed and flattened by forming rolls 10, 10', 10'', etc., and then further transferred to the press belt 1.
1, it is pressure-molded into a predetermined flat cross-sectional shape and transferred, and when its tip is transferred on the conveyor belt 13 and detected by the sensor 14, the transfer belt 9, the conveyor belt 13, and the forming rolls 10, 10', 10'' are transferred. ...and the pressing belt 11 stops, and the presser guide 17 and cutting rotary blade 18 of the raw material cutting device 12 operate to cut the raw material into a predetermined length, and at the same time the raw material transfer pipe 4
The raw material is returned to the raw material supply device via the raw material return pipe 6 by switching the automatic switching valve 7, and when the raw material cutting device 12 cuts the raw material and returns to the non-operating position, the transfer belt 9 is switched again. , the conveyor belt 13, the forming rolls 10, 10', 10''..., and the pressure belt 11 are driven, while the automatic switching valve 7 connects the raw material transfer pipe 4 to the raw material supply nozzle 5, and the filling and transfer operation is restarted again. It is something that

Effects of the Invention In the present invention, a raw material supply nozzle fitted with an edible film tube is provided at the starting end of a transfer belt, and a forming roll and a pressing belt are provided to sequentially press the raw material onto the transfer belt. The filled kneaded raw materials are sequentially pressed and flattened by forming rolls while being transferred on a transfer belt, and then can be pressure-molded by a pressing belt into a flat shape with a uniform and smooth cross section. Products can be manufactured automatically, continuously, and efficiently.

Furthermore, in the present invention, when cutting is performed by the raw material cutting device, the raw material in the raw material transfer pipe is returned to the raw material supply device via the automatic switching valve via the return pipe to stop the supply of raw materials, so that the filling pressure of the raw material by the raw material supply nozzle is reduced. The edible film tube can be filled at a constant rate at all times, and high-quality flat fish paste products can be produced that are uniformly pressure-molded within the edible film.
