Problems solved by technology

Slight wear on the surface of the plate may cause extrudate to leak into the coolant channel, or to the outside; or coolant to leak into the extrusion channel, or to the outside
Even small leaks can cause quality or stability issues, so replace damaged panels regularly

Embodiment Construction

[0051] To produce extruded food products, such as imitation fibrous shredded pork, requires an extruder capable of shearing and compressing the constituent ingredients, and a conveyor that sends these materials to a cooling die. An extruder can have one or more screws. These are well known and will not be described here.

[0052] A cooling die assembly for use at the delivery end of a high-moisture protein food extruder according to the present invention is shown in exploded perspective view in FIG. 1 . The cooling mold assembly mainly includes: a multi-piece mold body composed of a plurality of cooling wedges 1 arranged radially around a central core 2 . This body is in turn housed in a tubular holding sheath 3 . The extruded flow sent from the extruder is introduced into the inlet end of the cooling die through the flow distribution device 4 composed of diverging cone 4a, orifice plate 4b and groove plate 4c. The distribution device 4 serves to ensure a uniform inflow of ...

Abstract

A cooling die, for use in the manufacture of extruded food products, the cooling die including: a plurality of core members forming a main body portion of the cooling die between die inlet and outlet ends and arranged about an axis of the die in neighboring relationship; a plurality of extrudate flow channels extending through the cooling die from the inlet end to the outlet end, defined by gaps between neighboring ones of said core members; at least one bore in each said core member through which coolant may flow; an enclosing structure adapted to secure the core members against radial movement relative to the die axis; means for connecting the cooling die to an outlet of a food extruder, a cooling fluid source and a cooling fluid receptacle; and extrudate flow distribution means, located adjacent the inlet end, adapted to direct extrudate from the outlet of the food extruder into selected ones of said extrudate flow channels.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cooling mold used in conjunction with a food extruder during the textured treatment and manufacture of protein food. [0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a cooling die used in the manufacture of fibrous shredded meat, such as fish, chicken, beef, mutton, etc. extruded food. The cooling die is detachably installed at the outlet of the extruder, which may have one or more screws, and delivers the molten extrudate to the Cool the mold. Background technique [0003] In the manufacture of many foods, such as sausages, fish cakes, imitation meat products and aquatic products, various protein texturisation processes are sometimes used. Fibrous structures can be obtained in a number of ways, including extrusion cooling at low humidity (typically 10-30% by weight). Extrusion cooling at high humidity (ie, moisture typically 30-80% by weight) is a very new process that has found use primarily in the texturing ...
