Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an apparatus for continuously producing rolled yuba, particularly to an improvement in its winding mechanism.

[Prior art] Yuba, which is obtained by heating soy milk and collecting the coagulated thin film that forms on the liquid surface, is widely known as a traditional food in Japan. It is also attracting attention as a health food rich in vegetable fats.

Conventionally, to produce yuba, soybeans are soaked in water, then ground and filtered to obtain soymilk, which is then poured into a heating tank and heated at a temperature of about 90°C for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, the solidified thin film formed on the liquid surface was scooped up one by one with a stick and dried.

However, in this classical method for producing Yuba, the work is complicated, and it is time-consuming because the Yuba must be scooped up one by one after a thin film has solidified on the surface of the liquid, and it is difficult to produce Yuba continuously.

Therefore, in the past, various improvements have been made to the yuba manufacturing equipment (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1973-
22844, JP 54-80448, JP 55-50872).

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50872/1987 discloses the following apparatus for continuously producing yuba.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, soy milk 12 is poured into the soy milk tank 10, and a heating device 14 is installed at the bottom of the soy milk tank 10.

When the soybean milk 12 in the soybean milk tank 10 is heated in this state by the heating device 14, a coagulated thin film 16 is formed on the liquid surface of the soybean milk 12.

The coagulated thin film 16 moves in the direction of arrow I in conjunction with a rope 18 placed in the soybean milk tank 10 and is pulled up by a belt conveyor 20.

This belt conveyor 20 passes through a drying chamber 22, and after drying the coagulated thin film, it is collected as flat yuba.

Therefore, according to this conventional apparatus, it becomes easy to pull up the coagulated thin film, and continuous production of bean curd skin can be achieved.

The diameter of the coagulated thin film wound into a roll, that is, the rolled Yuba, gradually increases in diameter as both rollers rotate, and when a predetermined amount is reached, the coagulated thin film is cut by a cutting section on the conveying roller.

Therefore, the diameter of the rolled Yuba stops growing at that point.

Next, the rolled yuba collecting section collects the cut rolled yuba from above both rollers.

In addition, a new rolled Yuba is formed on both rollers, and continuous production of rolled Yuba, which has been impossible in the past, is performed.
