A noodle gelatinization apparatus which runs a steaming process of noodle strings by passing said noodle strings on a conveyor through a steam chamber, wherein said conveyor is a belt conveyor which comprises a mesh, endless belt looped over belt pulleys placed outside said steam chamber; a delivery belt lane of said belt conveyor runs in said steam chamber so that said steam chamber is partitioned into an upper steam chamber and a lower steam chamber; and steam is supplied upward from steam pipes installed in said lower steam chamber so that said steam will flow upward through meshes in said delivery belt lane, lateral ends of said belt come into contact with said steam chamber and partition said upper steam chamber and said lower steam chamber, and said delivery belt lane runs through said steam chamber while said belt slides with said steam chamber. |
