PURPOSE:To prepare a crab meat-like paste product having the palatability and appearance close to those of crab meat, in high efficiency, by turning finely slit block 90 deg., thereby forming a vertical slit product having the cut faces as the upper and lower faces. CONSTITUTION:A block of paste product (e) transferred via a meat web forming part, an incision part, a press-forming part, a cutting part for a slit block and an upper transfer part 32 of a transfer conveyor 28 is clamped between belts 35, 37 and further transferred. The speed of the transfer conveyor 28 is high and the paste block (e) is turned 90 deg. in the direction of the arrow to form the upper and lower faces with the cut faces S. The block is released from the belt 37 by the aid of a piano wire 42 and the obtained vertical slit product (f) is transferred on the transfer belt 28, passed through a connection part, a forming part of packaged continuous block, a unit block cutting part, a steaming and cooling part, a film-removing part, a cutting part of the crab meat-like paste product and packaging part and thermally sterilized by boiling. |
