The present invention relates to a method and a mochi cylinder device.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, in order to make mochi sticks for making strips of rice crackers, it was necessary to stretch the mochi material by hand to form a stick, store it in a gutter mold with a semicircular cross section, cover it, and cool it to solidify. Alternatively, by kneading the mochi material in advance with a kneading machine and inserting it between two upper and lower rolls that have formed a gap of the desired product shape in parallel, rod-shaped bodies having a cross section of the desired product shape are arranged in a parallel state. There was one that was manufactured continuously, cut into appropriate lengths, and cooled and solidified.

However, the former has the disadvantage that no strong pressure is applied to the mochi material during kneading, which causes air bubbles and pores inside the mochi stick, which tends to result in defective products when the mochi stick is cut into strips of rice crackers. was there. In addition, in the latter method, the mochi sticks are made into sticks while they are still soft, resulting in sagging and crumbling mochi sticks, which results in defective products that become irregular when the mochi sticks are cut into strips of rice crackers. It had drawbacks such as obtaining

Therefore, the present inventors have developed a mochi cylinder device for producing mochi sticks that eliminates these drawbacks.

) and is rotated by a motor (not shown), the helical blade shaft 1) (21) compresses and kneads the mochi material, sends it forward, and straightens it directly into the Kasuri storage cylinder αJ from the extrusion port (23). go. Then, when the mochi material is squeezed out from the air hole (24) of the lid (17') at the other end of the mochi storage tube αJ, the motor is stopped, and the mochi storage tube α1 is separated from the extrusion port (23) to store the mochi. This is done by cutting off the continuous mochi material at one end of the tube a3, cooling and solidifying it while storing the mochi material in the mochi storage tube a3, and opening the upper and lower half mold plates α9ae to take out the mochi stick. can be cut into strips to obtain strip rice crackers.

As a result of the mochi material being kneaded under high pressure and transferred in the mochi tube device mentioned above,
Not only the air inside the mochi storage cylinder but also the air inside the mochi stick is covered with a lid (17'
) is discharged to the outside through the air holes (24), which has the advantage that high-quality mochi sticks can be manufactured.

The present invention is characterized in that the dough tube and the rice cake storage tube are relatively movable and rotatable.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained using examples.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, there is a mochi making machine (3) below the hopper (2) on the machine stand (11), and a strong pressure is applied to the extrusion port of the mochi material of this mochi making machine (3). A kneading tube (5) is provided to send out the kneaded mochi ingredients toward the supply port (4) at the tip, and a mixed material pressure feeder is equipped with a spiral blade that is simultaneously driven by a motor (6) that drives the mochi making machine (3). room (7), mochi making machine (3)
), and further provided with an injection port (8) with one end attached to the outlet of the pressure feeding chamber (7) and the other end opened near the supply port (4) to send mixed food into the rice cake material. A mixing cylinder (9) was installed through the mixing cylinder (5). On the other hand, on the machine stand (1) in front of the dough tube (5), there is a rail αυ on which a frame αω for placing a rice cake storage tube is placed, so that the frame αω can be moved freely in the axial direction of the dough tube (5). . The upper end of this frame OG is equipped with a plurality of parallel sets of rolls 4 that are rotated by a separate motor, and the mochi storage cylinder a is placed between these rolls and the rolls (2) are rotated. By doing so, this rice cake storage cylinder α3 is rotated around the axial direction of the dough cylinder at a desired number of revolutions. As mentioned above, the rice cake storage cylinder a3 is split in half in the vertical direction, and the frame Ql
When placing the template on top, use the fixed gasket A4 to attach both hands to the template as
Keep ae fixed. Furthermore, a lid αη is attached to one end of the rice cake storage cylinder α3 to close one end of the rice cake storage cylinder αj. In addition, the mixing cylinder (9) is equipped with a cock α tightening and the injection port (
8) The structure is configured to control the amount of ingredients mixed into the rice cake material sent out from the rice cake material.

Such a mochi cylinder device is used as follows. That is, as shown in Fig. 4, the rice cake storage tube aj is placed on the frame αω, the frame 01 is moved in the direction of the rice cake making machine (3), and the dough tube (5) is loosely inserted into the rice cake storage tube a1. Its closed end is a renzutsu (5
) and stops when it reaches the supply port (4). Next, regular mochi ingredients are put into the hopper (2), liquid coffee is put into the mixed material pressure feeding chamber (7), the motor (6) is driven, and the mochi is made using the spiral blades in the mochi making machine (3). After kneading the materials under high pressure, use a kneading tube (
5), and at the same time, liquid coffee is also sent through the mixing cylinder (9) to the injection port (8) at its tip. As shown in Figure 5, approximately half of the opening area of the supply port (4) is covered with a blind plate 0I, so the mochi material fed into the kneading tube (5) is further processed through this supply port (4). The rice cake is squeezed and sent to the closed end of the rice cake storage cylinder.

Subsequently, the roll α of the rice cake storage cylinder mounting frame Ol is rotated to rotate the rice cake storage cylinder αJ. At this time, the injection port (8
) Since liquid coffee is sent out, the mochi storage cylinder 0
Coffee is compressed in the longitudinal direction of the mochi material supplied into the mochi material, and is kneaded into a spiral shape while being squeezed (as a result, the cross section of the mochi material has a coffee swirl pattern drawn on it. Furthermore, the pressure of the mochi material sent out from the supply port (4) strongly pushes the lid αη of the mochi storage tube (5), but the mochi storage tube Q3 is strongly pressed against the roll (15) by the presser lever (to). Therefore, as the mochi material is pushed out, the mochi storage cylinder a3 moves forward together with the frame OI (.

When the mochi storage tube αj is finally filled with mochi material, that is, when the open end of the mochi storage tube 01 reaches the position of the supply port (4) of the kneading tube (5), the motor (6) is stopped. Mochi storage tube 0
The continuous mochi material was cut from the opening, and the mochi storage tube θ3 containing the mochi material was cooled as it was to solidify the mochi material.

The second half of the template O9CIO was separated to obtain a mochi stick. This mochi stick is a novel product in which coffee is continuously spiraled vertically. When this mochi stick was cut into strips in the transverse direction, strips of rice crackers having a coffee swirl pattern as shown in FIG. 6 could be produced.

Furthermore, according to this mochi cylinder device, by varying the internal cross-sectional shape of the mochi storage cylinder and also varying the size and position of the inlet, a spiral pattern can be created only in the center in the shape shown in Figure 7. It is also possible to produce strips of rice crackers having the following properties.

Furthermore, by using not only coffee but also other natural or artificial coloring agents, strips of rice crackers with various colors can be obtained.

Furthermore, the food fed into the rice cake material from the injection port can not only be of different colors, but also food of different hardness or roughness from the rice cake material that becomes the dough.

The number of mixing cylinders and mixed material pressure feeding chambers for injecting mixed food materials into the mochi material is not limited to one set, but multiple sets may be installed.
In this case, it is also possible to obtain strips of rice crackers with a plurality of color patterns formed thereon.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to produce strips of rice crackers with various color patterns that could not be obtained conventionally, and such strips of rice crackers can stimulate new demand due to their unique appearance. It has very remarkable effects.
