Abstract:
The invention provides a food coating apparatus and a food production method in which an impact applied when a food material is put can be reduced, misalignment or deformation of a food material can be suppressed, and even a soft food material, an easily-crumbled food material, or the like can be efficiently coated. A food coating apparatus comprises: a flow channel through which a liquid coating material flows; a conveyor to be immersed in the liquid coating material and to make the liquid coating material to flow in a travel direction, the conveyor being arranged on an upper side of a bottom surface of the flow channel; a drive device configured to drive the conveyor; and a putting device configured to put a food product, wherein the conveyor is immersed in the liquid coating material at a putting position where the putting device puts the food product, and the food product is conveyed and coated with the liquid coating material in the flow channel in a state where the food product is supported by the conveyor or is supported by the liquid coating material that is flowing.
Abstract:
A food forming device includes a mold plate and pushers. The mold plate includes n first forming holes and n second forming holes provided alternately in a circumferential direction of the mold plate, n being an integer of two or more. The mold plate intermittently rotates to a first rotation position and to a second rotation position. In the first rotation position, the first forming holes are respectively connected with the discharge holes while lower openings of the second forming holes are obstructed by the bottom plate. In the second rotation position, the second forming holes are respectively connected with the discharge holes while lower openings of the first forming holes are obstructed by the bottom plate. The pushers push out the foodstuffs from the first forming holes or the second forming holes to discharge the foodstuffs as formed food products every time the mold plate intermittently rotates.
Abstract:
To provide a food product molding device and a food product manufacturing method capable of molding foodstuffs into a food product having stacked plural layers with a simple structure. A mold unit in which a first mold plate and a second mold plate are stacked slidingly moves by a drive unit. Through holes respectively provided in the first mold plate and the second mold plate are linked to form molding hole portions. The molding hole portions move to a first filling position in which upper ends of the molding hole portions are connected to first filling openings, a second filling position in which upper ends of the molding hole portions are connected to second filling openings, and a discharge position in which upper ends of the molding hole portions are connected to pusher ports by the slide movement of the mold unit.
Abstract:
A food heating device includes a conveying unit, a heating unit, and a suction unit. The conveying unit has an endless belt member which allows hot air to pass therethrough. The belt member has an outgoing side on which the food is placed, and a return side, wherein the outgoing side passes through a space between the heating unit and the suction unit, and the return side is disposed to face the outgoing side and avoid the space between the heating unit and the suction unit.
Abstract:
A continuous food frying device includes a first heating unit, a conveyance unit, a uniformizing unit, and a second heating unit. The first heating unit stirs and heats a food charged therein from a charging port of a drum member. The conveyance unit conveys a food discharged from a discharging port of the drum member. The uniformizing unit makes the thickness of the food substantially uniform. The second heating unit blows hot air onto the food from injection ports.
