MOLDING DEVICE, MOLDING METHOD, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR BONDED FOOD

摘要

A molding device, a molding method, and a manufacturing method capable of providing homemade feeling to a bonded food used as the material of a croquette and others by providing roundness thereon. The molding device comprises a drive belt (1) carrying the bonded food (4a), pressing members (2) disposed above the drive belt (1), having groove-like recessed parts formed in a curved shape in cross section, and driven to feed out the bonded food in the same direction as the carrying direction of the drive belt (1), and curved members (3) disposed under the drive belt (1) to face the pressing members (2) and having groove-like recessed parts formed in a curved shape in cross section. The drive belt (1) is curved along the cross sectional shape of the recessed parts (3a) of the curved members (3), the bonded food is carried between the drive belt (1) and the pressing members (2), and the bonded food is pressed by using the drive belt (1) and the pressing members (2) to provide the roundness on the upper and lower surfaces of the bonded food (4c).
