Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a noodle-making method and an apparatus for mechanically producing raw noodles and semi-raw noodle products similar to the flavor of hand-pulled or hand-stretched noodles.

[Prior art] It is well known that noodles have traditionally been produced by hand-pulling, hand-rolling, and machines, but compared to hand-pulling and hand-pulling noodles, machine noodles pass the noodle dough between multiple rollers to make it thinner and thinner. The noodle strips were formed by rolling, which were then cut vertically into multiple thin strips using a cutter, and then cut into constant lengths to form noodle strips.

[Problem II to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional hand-pulled noodles are soft, chewy, and have a good texture, but because the product has a cut edge made by a knife, it tends to fall apart after being boiled for a while. In addition, hand-stretched noodles are made by twisting the noodles, which makes them strong, and the surface is smooth, and there are no cuts, so the taste does not deteriorate even if overcooked, but the problem is that the thickness of the product is inconsistent. Yes, I can't give birth again. Compared to these, machine noodles have a uniform shape and quality, but are rolled in a certain direction with rollers, which breaks the gluten network of the noodle structure, making it easy to tear vertically and leaving the surface of the noodles smooth. Not only are they inferior in texture and toughness, but they also tend to break easily and lose flavor when boiled for a long time. It was difficult.

The present invention aims to solve the drawbacks of the mechanical noodle manufacturing method and provide a noodle manufacturing method and device that can easily mechanically manufacture raw noodles that take advantage of the flavor of hand-made or hand-rolled noodles. This is Surushino.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention folds the thick noodle strips formed through the noodle dough rising rollers in the width direction, passes them between the noodle dough rollers, and compositely rolls them, and then rolls the noodle strips into a pair of noodle strips having semicircular grooves. The noodles are passed between the grooved rollers to form stick-shaped noodles with a round cross section, and then placed on a conveyor, the course is changed, and the noodles are passed through several stages of rolling rollers and a pair of grooved rollers with semicircular grooves to form thin stick-shaped noodles in turn. The noodles are then cut into a certain length and placed on a ripening conveyor, where they are transferred intermittently to achieve a constant aging process.Furthermore, the aged stick-shaped noodles are fed one after another into the rollers of a forming machine to form noodle sheets. Because of this, flat extension of the noodle strip and stick-shaped noodles rolled in the width direction are alternately formed, and the stick-shaped noodles are cut in a constant manner to mix and press the fixed-sized stick-shaped noodles with a round cross section. This eliminates the problem of conventional mechanical noodles, where the pressure direction is constant using rollers and the noodle strips are oriented based on the flow, making it easy to tear vertically and difficult to tear horizontally. Pressure and rolling directions intersect in all directions, activating the gluten, creating a dense noodle structure with good strata and gluten networks, and making the noodle composition uniform and homogeneous, making it easier to use with conventional machines. Compared to noodles,
You can obtain raw noodles with the flavor of hand-pulled noodles that are hard to cut even after boiling, have a smooth surface, have a pleasant texture, and are strong and chewy at a low price. In addition, the noodle production line uses a transfer conveyor to create a horizontally long rectangular track, and a combination of upper and lower stages of ripening, conveyance, and rolling lines with alternating paths.
This has the effect that the installation area of the machine is significantly reduced compared to the conventional method, and the noodle making apparatus can be made smaller.
