Method and device for shaping foodstuffs and the like, and shaped product

Abstract

A method for shaping foodstuffs and the like, which improves operating efficiency and economic efficiency when a foodstuff, such as taro, is to be shaped spherical; and a device therefor. A shaping procedure using a cutter blade (15) applied to a process subject article (A) to shape the surface of the subject process article (A), wherein the subject process article (A) and the cuter blade (15) are relatively moved and the subject process article (A) can be held in a floating state when it is subjected to the cutter blade (15). Since the subject process article (A) is maintained in a floating state, as soon as the process subject article (A) comes into contact with the cutter blade (15) to have its surface cut, a floating state or a rotative state is imparted to the subject process article (A) to some extent by the cutter blade (15), and such state is continued, whereby the surface is thoroughly cut spherical or the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for shaping foods such as taro and other foods that are preferably shaped into spherical shapes to meet the needs of consumers, and shaped products manufactured by the above-mentioned methods. Background technique [0002] Taking taro as an example, as an intermediate processing to cater to consumers' preferences, most of them are first peeled and shaped into roughly the size of golf balls, packed into bags according to a certain number, and then frozen as needed during distribution. Status listed. [0003] When performing such intermediate processing, it is difficult to perform shape processing using machines because the processed taro and the like are natural growths and do not have a fixed shape. Therefore, although the above-mentioned processing may not be the most efficient and economical, it can only be processed by hand. Suppliers of food materials must carry out this processing in areas whe...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, if too many processed objects are put into the container, the objects to be processed will interfere with each other, making it impossible to achieve beautiful processing.

When putting in and taking out a very small amount, it is troublesome to put in and take out. There is no problem in household use, but there is a problem that the overall operation time is greatly increased when it is used for processing a large amount of processed objects.

It is also troublesome that the processing time must be adjusted according to the amount of input.

Although the bottom of the container of Patent Document 2 is provided with a peeler of a cutter driven by horizontal rotation, there are still deficiencies in the peeling speed and the uniformity of processing.
