Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for adhering non-adhesive solid substances such as raisins (raisins) and peanuts to confectionery and bread by mechanically adhering them to confectionery and bread. be.

Conventionally, in order to adhere non-stick solids to the surface of confectionery or bread, a cream-like sticky substance is first applied to the surface of the confectionery or bread, and then a non-stick adhesive is applied onto the sticky substance by hand by an operator. They were picking solids and sprinkling them on. Therefore, while other processes (e.g. molding, application of adhesive additives, etc.) are mechanized, only the process of gluing non-adhesive solid materials cannot be mechanized and must be done manually. Because of this, the speed of the machine had to be adjusted according to the process, which caused problems that greatly reduced productivity.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its basic structure is that sticky additives are placed together with non-stick solids in a hopper provided above a conveyor, and the sticky additives are stirred and heated. The adhesive is sprayed onto the confectionery or bread conveyed on the conveyor by a compressed air blowing device provided at the outlet of the potsupa to adhere it. The air jet force of the compressed air jet device allows the non-stick solids to be removed together with the sticky additives.
By spraying and adhering sweets and bread during transportation, productivity is improved compared to conventional manual labor, and it is more hygienic.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The drawing shows a method for producing a confectionery made by sandwiching raisins A, in which A indicates a non-stick solid substance such as raisins, B indicates confectionery and bread dough, and the non-stick solid substance A is mixed with a sticky additive. The compressed air blowing device 10 for spraying and adhering onto the fabric is POTSUPA 20.
The air blowing ports are arranged so as to face the discharge ports 21, 21, . . .

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hopper 20 has a width W that is approximately the same as the width of the conveyor 1, and its main body 2
An outer pipe 21 having discharge ports 21', 21', . The inner pipe 22 is fixed such that a gap at least larger than the diameter of
2', 22', 22'... are opened.

A rotary molding pipe 23 is disposed in the gap between the outer pipe 21 and the inner pipe 22, and appropriately shaped molding holes 23', 23', etc. are opened in the circumferential direction of this rotary molding pipe 23'. has been done.

In addition, the discharge port 2 of the outer pipe 21 described above
1', so that the molding hole 23' of the rotary molding pipe 23 and the through hole 22' of the inner pipe 22 are aligned.
Each pipe 21, 22, 23 is arranged, and as will be described later, the non-adhesive solid material filled in the molding hole 23' is transferred to the outlet of the outer pipe 21 by the rotation of the rotary molding pipe 23. Carried to 21'...
The outlet port 2 of the outer pipe 21 is heated by the compressed air ejected from the air outlet of the compressed air ejector 10 provided near the through hole 22' of the inner pipe 22.
1' is blown out and adhered onto the dough roll conveyed onto the conveyor 1 (FIG. 3).

The compressed air blowing device 10 has a blowing pipe disposed inside an inner pipe 22, and a blowing port is provided in the blowing pipe at a position corresponding to the through hole 22' of the inner pipe 22. Compressed air comes out of the mouth.

The outer pipe 22 and the main body 20a of the hopper 20 communicate with each other through a communication port 24,
This communication port 24 is provided at a position corresponding to the molding hole 23' of the rotary molding pipe 23, and its total length is slightly longer than the molding hole 23 in the rotational direction of the pipe 23, and its axial length is slightly longer than the molding hole 23. The diameter is approximately the same size as the molding hole 23'. The communication port 24 is opened at a position offset to one side from just above the axis of the outer pipe 22, and a plunger 25 is provided at a position where the angle α with respect to the axis of the communication port 24 is 30 degrees. Due to the reciprocating motion, the non-adhesive solid material A in the main body 20a is pushed into the molding hole 23 of the rotary molding pipe 23. In addition,
The plunger 25 is connected to a rotating shaft 27 via an arm rod 26.

A stirrer 28 is provided in the hopper main body 20a, and the non-stick solid material A and the sticky additive (for example, a mixture of molasses, Western liquor, fats and oils, etc.) are stirred.

In the figure, reference numeral 29 denotes a heating device (hot water jacket) that prevents the sticky additives from being fixed in the hopper body 20a and ensures reliable stirring. The inclined partition plate 20a' constituting the hopper main body 20a has a joint 2 with the outer pipe 21 at its lower end.
0a'' and the end face of the plunger 25 on the side of the joint 20a''. Solid matter A can escape through this gap. In the figure, 20b is a lid covering the input port of the hopper main body 20a.

The reciprocating movement of the plunger 25 and the rotation speed of the rotary molding pipe 23 are linked to the circumferential speed of the conveyor 1, and the non-adhesive solids A and the sticky additives are transferred to the dough roll on the conveyor 1. It is designed to be sprayed on top.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 2 denotes a dough feeding device that feeds dough rolls for confectionery and bread onto the conveyor 1 one by one at predetermined intervals. Conveyor 1
The cream filling machine 3 applies cream to the surface of the dough supplied above, and further,
The non-adhesive solid material A is spray-bonded together with the adhesive additive by the compressed air blowing device 10.
Then, a cream filling machine 3' applies a cream ha' thereon, and a dough lo' is stacked on top of the cream ha' by a dough feeding device 2 to form a sandwich-like sweet bread.

As described in the present invention, adhesive additives are placed together with non-adhesive solids in a hopper provided above a conveyor, stirred and heated, and compressed air is ejected from the outlet of the hopper. Since the device is characterized by spraying and adhering onto sweets and breads conveyed on a conveyor, non-adhesive solids can be mechanically bonded onto sweets and breads. Therefore, compared to the conventional method of manually adhering, not only is the productivity significantly higher, but also the number of non-adhesive solid materials to be adhered, their arrangement on the fabric, etc. can be precisely controlled and controlled. Moreover,
Since it is mechanically bonded, it also has the advantage of being easier to maintain hygiene.

In this way, the intended purpose is achieved.
