Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Shirataki manufacturing method and Shirataki manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing Shirataki by cutting a strip of konjac.

[0002]

Shirataki is a konjac paste obtained by mixing and stirring konjac refined powder with water and lime, and extruding the konnyaku paste onto hot water from a perforated plate in which a large number of holes are formed, and then heating in boiling water. It is manufactured by solidifying.

Conventionally, this type of Shirataki manufacturing apparatus has, as shown in FIG. 4, a perforated plate having a large number of holes through which konjac paste 140a supplied from a konjac paste supply device (not shown) is continuously extruded. 121, and a sink boat 126, a boiling pipe 127, a hot water recovery tank 128, etc. for continuously boiling a large number of thread-like konjac paste 140a extruded from the perforated plate 121 into a Shirataki material 140b. Boiler 125 and Shirataki material 1 boiled by this boiler 15 and discharged from the outlet 127a of the boiled pipe 127.
It is composed of a conveyor 130 and the like that conveys 40b. A separation net 129 is provided in the hot water recovery tank 128, and an outlet 127a of the boiled pipe 127 is located above the separation net 129.

In the Shirataki manufacturing apparatus having this structure, the konjac glue 140a supplied from the konjac glue supply device is extruded from the eyelet 121 and formed into a large number of threads. The extruded konjac paste 140a enters the warm water stored in the sink 126 of the boiling device 125, and passes through the boiling pipe 127 as the warm water flows. During this time, the konjac paste 140a is boiled with warm water and solidified to become Shirataki material 140b.
It is discharged from 27a. Exit part 1 of boiled pipe 127
The filamentous Shirataki material 140b discharged from 27a is placed on the separation net 129 of the hot water recovery tank 128 to separate hot water, and then conveyed by the conveyor 130.
The separated hot water is flowed by a pump (not shown) 126
And is circulated through the sink boat 126, the boiling pipe 127, and the hot water recovery tank 128.

The Shirataki material 140b conveyed by the conveyor 130 is cut into a predetermined length by a cutting device (not shown) and packaged.

[0006]

As described above, in the conventional Shirataki, since the Shirataki material extruded in a filament form from the eye plate is boiled with warm water and gradually solidified, the Shirataki material immediately after being extruded from the eye plate is used. From the surface of the Shirataki material, the konnyaku glue before solidification elutes into the warm water, though slightly. Therefore, if Shirataki's production is continued for a long time, the concentration of konjac components in warm water will increase, and fine konjac (generally,
(Also called "mo") is formed. This "mo" is
Shirataki material adheres to Shirataki material that becomes a product even after it is separated from hot water. When Shirataki with "mo" attached is packaged and displayed in stores, "mo" floats in the product packaging bag. It will be. If “mom” floats in the packaging bag, the consumer's willingness to purchase decreases, and sometimes the “mom” is determined to be a foreign matter and may be the subject of a claim.

In order to remove this "mom", it is conceivable to wash Shirataki with water or scrape it off with a brush before packaging. However, in the process in which a large number (several dozen) of Shirataki water flows in close contact with each other, surface tension acts on each Shirataki water and it is very difficult to remove "mom" from each Shirataki waterfall. Have difficulty. On the contrary, when trying to remove "mom" from each individual Shirataki, a new step of loosening the Shirataki flowing closely to each other is required. In addition, the shape of the "mo" can vary from the minute to the "mo" that grows intricately intertwined with each other, and even some stick to Shirataki, so the "mo" cannot be completely removed. Therefore, the manufacturing efficiency is reduced.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a Shirataki manufacturing method and a Shirataki manufacturing apparatus capable of preventing “mom” from being mixed into a product without lowering the manufacturing efficiency.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the Shirataki manufacturing method of the present invention is a Shirataki manufacturing method in which a strip-shaped konjac is cut into a thread shape by cutting it in a longitudinal direction at a predetermined width, Before cutting the band-shaped konjac into a predetermined width, foreign substances attached to the band-shaped konjac are removed.

The Shirataki manufacturing apparatus of the present invention comprises a removing means for removing foreign matters attached to the konjac formed in a strip shape, and a longitudinal cutting means for cutting the konjac removed from the foreign matters with a predetermined width in the longitudinal direction. It is characterized by having.

In the present invention constructed as described above, the konjac formed in a band shape is formed into a thread shape by removing the attached "mom" and foreign matter, and then cutting the konnyaku with a predetermined width in the longitudinal direction.
In other words, since the konnyaku is in the form of a strip rather than a thread when removing foreign matter, the foreign matter that has adhered is efficiently removed.

Removal of the foreign matter is easy by spraying water or pressurized air onto the strip-shaped konjac, or by rubbing the strip-shaped konjac with a brush or a scraper. Especially,
Even if foreign matter adheres strongly when you spray water after rubbing with a brush, the foreign matter floats up on the konjac with the brush, and since the floating foreign matter is washed with water, it is more effective. Foreign matter can be removed.

Further, by removing foreign matters and cutting the band-shaped konjac in a predetermined width while being conveyed by a conveyor, the thread-shaped Shirataki is continuously produced from the band-shaped konjac. In this case, after cutting the band-shaped konjac in a predetermined width,
Furthermore, if the konjac that is transported by the conveyor is cut at a constant timing in the width direction, a white waterfall of a constant length can be obtained. Furthermore, the konjac paste is extruded from the perforated plate into a band shape, which is continuously boiled and solidified to form a band-like konjac, which is continuously supplied to the above-mentioned step of removing foreign matter, thereby Shirataki is manufactured in a continuous process from boiling.

[0014]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing the arrangement of an embodiment of the Shirataki manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, which is shown together with a konjac glue supplying apparatus for supplying konjac glue to the Shirataki manufacturing apparatus. Also, in FIG.
It is a figure which shows the structure of the konjac glue supply apparatus shown in FIG.

In the Shirataki manufacturing apparatus, the konjac paste 40a supplied from the konjac paste supply apparatus 10 is pushed out from the eye plate 21 and boiled by the boiling apparatus 25 to heat and solidify it, and then the solidified Shirataki material 40b is conveyed by the conveyor 30. Cleaning and cutting while transporting. Hereinafter, these configurations will be sequentially described, but first, the konjac glue supply device 10 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, the konjac glue supply device 10 supplies konjac flour to the kneader 11, and a kneader 11 that mixes and agitates konjac refined powder and lime water with a screw to make konjac paste. It has a hopper 12 for dosing, and a pump 13 for discharging the konnyaku glue obtained by mixing and stirring with the kneading machine 11. The konjac flour is supplied from the hopper 12 to the kneading machine 11, while the lime water is supplied into the cylinder housing the screw of the kneading machine 11. Then, the konjac paste obtained by the kneading machine 11 is fed by the pump 13 as shown in FIG.
It is continuously supplied to the Shirataki continuous device shown in.

Next, the Shirataki manufacturing apparatus will be described with reference to FIG.

The boiling device 25 is connected to a sink boat 26 for containing warm water and a lower part of the sink boat 26, and is continuously extruded from a perforated plate 21 described later to form a thin strip of about 2 to 3 mm. The konjac paste 40a thus formed is introduced together with warm water into a warm water recovery tank 28, and is heated and coagulated during this period to form a Shirataki material 40b. The hot water introduced into the hot water recovery tank 28 is recovered by the sink boat 26 by a pump (not shown), and the sink boat 2
6. Circulate the boiled pipe 27 and the hot water recovery tank 28.

Above the sink boat 26, one slit 2 is provided.
A perforated plate 21 on which 1a is formed is arranged. Eye plate 21
Is a pressure pump 16 of the konjac glue supply device 10 (see FIG. 2).
The konjac glue 40a which is connected to the pipe connected to the discharge port of the konjac paste and which is continuously supplied from the konjac glue supply device 10 is slit 2
A thin strip is formed by continuously extruding from 1a.

The hot water recovery tank 28 is provided with a separating net 28a inside thereof, and an outlet portion 27a of the boiling pipe 27 is located above the separating net 28a.

Below the outlet portion 27a of the boiled pipe 27, a pair of brushes 29 is arranged. Brush 29
Are arranged opposite to each other with the Shirataki material 40b discharged from the outlet 27a interposed therebetween, and rub the front and back surfaces of the Shirataki material 40b by rotation.

Of the belt-shaped Shirataki material 40b and hot water discharged from the outlet 27a, the Shirataki material 40b passes between the pair of brushes 29 and then rests on the separating net 28a.
At this time, the Shirataki material 40b is composed of the brush 29 and the separating net 2.
It is made to slacken between 8a. This is the exit part 2
This is because if there is a variation in the discharge amount of the Shirataki material 40b per unit time from 7a, the variation is absorbed. On the other hand, the warm water drops into the warm water recovery tank 28 through a large number of openings on the separation net 28a and is recovered by the sink boat 26.

The conveyor 30 includes a driving roller 32 rotated by a motor (not shown) and two driven rollers 3
3, 34, and a conveyor belt 31 having a mesh structure stretched over them.

The conveyor 30 is divided into an inclined portion 30a, which is a portion that moves diagonally upward, and a horizontal portion 30b, which is a portion that moves horizontally. The lower end of the inclined portion 30a is located inside the hot water recovery tank 28, and the separation net 28a
It also crawls below. The moving speed of the conveyor belt 31 is a band-shaped konjac paste 40a extruded from the perforated plate 21.
The outflow rate is set to be almost equal. Shirataki material 40b placed on the separation net 28a is the conveyor 30
When it is transferred obliquely upward by the inclined portion 30a, it becomes straight, and is further transferred horizontally by the horizontal portion 30b to the Shirataki packaging machine 38 side.

On the inclined portion 30a of the conveyor 30, a cleaning device 35 for cleaning the Shirataki material 40b transferred on the conveyor belt 31 is provided. The cleaning device 35 has a plurality of nozzles 35a arranged in the width direction of the Shirataki material 40b above the conveyor belt 31, and cleans the Shirataki material 40b by spraying water from these nozzles 35a toward the Shirataki material 40b. To do.

Below the tip of the horizontal portion 30b of the conveyor 30, a longitudinal cutter for cutting the Shirataki material 40b, which has been cut to a predetermined length, with the drive roller 32 in a predetermined width in the longitudinal direction. 37 is provided. A rubber roller is arranged to face the longitudinal cutter 37. As shown in FIG. 3, the longitudinal cutter 37 has a plurality of disc-shaped cutting blades 37b fixed to a rotating shaft 37a rotated by a rotating means (not shown) such as a motor at predetermined intervals.
By continuously rotating the rotating shaft 37a in the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the driving roller 32, the Shirataki material 40b falling from the conveyor belt 31 is sandwiched between the rubber roller and cut into a predetermined width, and Shirataki is formed. 40c is formed. The interval between the cutting blades 37b is substantially equal to the thickness of the strip-shaped Shirataki material 40b. Here, a rotating disk-shaped cutter 37b
Although the longitudinal cutter 37 using is shown, the invention is not limited to this, and a slide blade may be used.

Below the longitudinal cutter 37, a width cutter 36 for cutting the Shirataki material 40b, which has been cut into a predetermined width by the longitudinal cutter 37, in the width direction is provided. The width-direction cutter 36 slides in the horizontal direction at a constant timing, and cuts the Shirataki material 40b in the width direction between the width-direction cutter 36 and a cutter receiver that is arranged to face the width. As a result, the Shirataki material 40b cut into a predetermined width is cut in the width direction at a constant timing, and the Shirataki 40 having a predetermined length is cut.
c.

The width-direction cutter 36 is not limited to the one that slides, as long as it can cut the Shirataki material 40b at a constant timing, and may be a rotary cutter that rotates continuously or intermittently.

Next, the manufacturing process of Shirataki using the Shirataki manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

When the konjac glue 40a is supplied from the konjac glue supply device 10, the konjac glue 40a is continuously extruded from the perforated plate 21 and formed into a thin strip shape. Here, since the konjac glue 40a is extruded from the eye dish 21 through the slit 21a, the konjac glue 40a does not cause clogging as in the case of extruding it in a thread shape from a conventional eye dish having a large number of holes.
A stable and continuous supply of is possible.

The konnyaku glue 40a formed in the band shape enters the warm water in the sink boat 26, passes through the boil pipe 27 together with the warm water, and is boiled in the meantime to be solidified into a band-shaped Shirataki material 40b. Boiled striped Shirataki material 4
The tip portion of 0b is continuously discharged together with warm water from the outlet portion 27a of the boiling pipe 27. At this time, the konjac paste 40a before solidification was dissolved in the warm water to form "mo".
Is included, which is also attached to the Shirataki material 40b. However, since the boiled Shirataki material 40b has a strip shape and has a smaller surface area compared to the conventional case of a large number of threads, the amount of “mom” formed is smaller than in the conventional case.

Shirataki material 40 discharged from the outlet 27a
b passes through between the brushes 29 together with the warm water, whereby "mom" and foreign matter attached to the Shirataki material 40b are removed. However, in the case where the adhesion is strong, the brush 29 alone cannot completely remove it, and the “mom” and foreign matter left without being removed may remain floating on the Shirataki material 40b. is there.

The Shirataki material 40b passing through the brush 29 is
It is placed on the separation net 28a. Shirataki material 40 here
b and hot water are separated, and the hot water is collected by the sink boat 26. Then, the strip-shaped Shirataki material 40b is slackened between the brush 29 and the separation net 28a, and the Shirataki material 4
0b is placed on the inclined portion 30a of the conveyor 30, and the Shirataki material 40b is moved along with the movement of the conveyor belt 31.
Are transferred in a straight line. Boiler 25 mentioned above
Since the boil-up by and the transfer by the conveyor 30 are performed in a strip shape, the Shirataki material 40b is less likely to be affected by the turbulence of the flow of warm water, and is less likely to be displaced in the width direction when placed on the conveyor belt 31. Become. As a result, the amount of Shirataki material 40b discharged from the boiler 25 per unit time is stable, and the Shirataki material 40b hardly meanders on the conveyor 30, and the amount of Shirataki material 40b transferred by the conveyor 30 is constant. Will be improved.

When the strip-shaped Shirataki material 40b is moved along the inclined portion 30a and reaches below the cleaning device 35, the Shirataki material 40b is cleaned by the water sprayed from the nozzle 35a of the cleaning device 35. As a result, “mom” and foreign matter that cannot be completely removed by the brush 29 are removed.

Here, the cleaning device 35 is arranged only above the Shirataki material 40b, and water is not sprayed to the back surface of the Shirataki material 40b, but the water sprayed to the Shirataki material 40b passes through the mesh of the conveyor belt 31. When the Shirataki material 40b is separated from the hot water on the separating net 28a, most of the “mom” and foreign substances are separated together with the hot water when the Shirataki material 40b is separated from the hot water on the separating net 28a. In order to remove "mom" and foreign substances from the Shirataki material 40b, it is sufficient to spray water from above the Shirataki material 40b. In order to remove “mom” and foreign matter more reliably, the conveyor belt 31 is sandwiched from above and below, and the nozzle 35a is provided.
May be arranged so as to face each other, and water may be jetted from the back side of the conveyor belt 31.

The strip-shaped Shirataki material 40b cleaned by the cleaning device 35 is further transported by the conveyor 30 and cut into a predetermined width by the longitudinal cutter 37, and then cut into a predetermined length by the width cutter 36. . As a result, a thread-shaped Shirataki 40c having a constant length is obtained. Shirataki 40 obtained
The c is packaged by a known Shirataki packaging machine 38 including a pair of squeeze rollers 39a and 39b, a feed roller (not shown), a heat sealing mechanism (not shown), etc., and a bag-filled Shirataki product 41 is manufactured. If the operation of the Shirataki packaging machine 38 is synchronized with the cutting cycle by the widthwise cutter 36, the length and the number of Shirataki in the packaging bag will be constant.

As described above, the band-shaped Shirataki material 40b before being formed into a thread shape is rubbed with the brush 29, and further washed by the cleaning device 35 to remove "mom" and foreign matters attached to the Shirataki material 40b. Therefore, it is possible to remove most of the “mom” and foreign matters attached to the Shirataki material 40b without the Shirataki materials being in close contact with each other as in the conventional case.
Further, since the brush 29 is rubbed before the cleaning by the cleaning device 35, the brush 29 removes the “mom” and the foreign matter, and the firmly adhered substances are lifted up from the Shirataki material 40b and cleaned by the cleaning device 35. The efficiency can be further increased. Moreover, the brush 29 and the cleaning device 25
Since the “mom” and the foreign matter are removed during the transfer of the Shirataki material 40b in the series of manufacturing steps, the manufacturing efficiency does not decrease.

In the Shirataki product 41 manufactured and packaged in this way, since "mom" and foreign substances are removed in advance, almost all "mom" and foreign substances are mixed in the packaging bag even if the production is continued for a long time. Without it, it will be excellent in appearance. On the other hand, looking at the shape of each Shirataki 40c obtained one by one, the square cross section makes it easy to grasp even with round chopsticks, and the texture is different from that of the conventional round cross section, and it also produces new dishes. Connect Furthermore, since one or two of the four side surfaces are surfaces formed by cutting, the taste easily penetrates when cooked.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the strip-shaped Shirataki material 4
An example in which the cleaning device 35 that sprays water is used as a removing unit that removes "mom" and foreign matter attached to 0b has been shown.
The present invention is not limited to this, and a pressurized air ejecting device that has the same configuration as the cleaning device 35 and blows pressurized air instead of water and removes “mom” and foreign matter by the air pressure may be used. Also,
Below the outlet portion 27a of the boil-up pipe 27, a pair of scrapers (not shown) that are opposed to each other with the Shirataki material 40b sandwiched are used in place of the pair of brushes 29. Rub the front and back, "mo"
It is also possible to remove foreign matter. The brush 29 and the scraper may be omitted.

Further, an example is shown in which the strip-shaped Shirataki material 40b is cut in the longitudinal direction and then in the width direction.
This order may be reversed.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the boil-up step, the foreign matter removing / cutting step, and the packaging step are continuously performed, but these steps do not necessarily have to be continuously performed. For example, the band-shaped Shirataki material 40b can be stored in a tank or the like by performing only the boil-up step in advance, and the band-shaped Shirataki material 40b can be supplied to the conveyor 30 from this tank to manufacture the Shirataki product 41. Also, the width direction cutter 3
6 and Shirataki 4 obtained by cutting with the longitudinal cutter 37
It is also possible to divide 0c by a fixed amount and supply this to the Shirataki packaging machine 38 by a bucket conveyor (not shown) or the like to manufacture the Shirataki product 41.

[0043]

As described above, according to the present invention, the foreign matter adhered to the band-shaped konjac is removed, and then the foreign matter adhered to the konnyaki is cut by a predetermined width in the longitudinal direction to form a thread, thereby efficiently removing the adhered foreign matter. It also improves the appearance of the product when packaged. Moreover, since the band-shaped konnyaku is cut into a thread shape with a predetermined width, the number of Shirataki obtained is constant.
In addition, since the cross section becomes a square by cutting, it can be superior to the conventional Shirataki in terms of ease of grasping with chopsticks and soaking in taste.

In particular, the foreign matter is removed by rubbing the konjac with a brush and then spraying water on the konjac.
Even if the foreign matter is firmly attached, the foreign matter can be removed more effectively.

Further, by removing foreign matters and cutting the band-shaped konjac in a predetermined width while transferring it with a conveyor, it is possible to continuously produce thread-shaped Shirataki from the band-shaped konjac and to improve the manufacturing efficiency. It will not drop. In this case, if the konjac on the conveyor is cut at a constant timing in the width direction after cutting the band-like konjac in a predetermined width, it is possible to obtain Shirataki waterfall of a constant length.

Further, the konjac paste is extruded from the perforated plate into a band shape, which is continuously boiled and solidified into a band-like konjac, which is continuously supplied to the above-mentioned step of removing foreign matter. The processes from konjac paste to obtaining Shirataki can be continuously performed. In this case, since the slit is formed in the perforated plate and the konjac glue is pushed out from this slit, the clogging of the perforated plate does not occur. As a result, the strip-shaped konnyaku glue can be stably and continuously supplied even during a long-term continuous operation, and the number of maintenance and replacement of the perforated plate can be suppressed to a minimum.
