PURPOSE:To contrive to improve the thermal efficiency of a TOFU (bean curd) - producing device to perform the uniformly heating coagulation of bean milk for improving the quality of the produced TOFU by covering both the side upper portions of a double tank in the device for automatically and continuously producing TOFU with a trough-like coagulating tank and with moved dividing plates disposed on a chain is constant pitch, the upper center portion of the double tank not hindering the movement of the dividing plates being removed from both the side upper portions. CONSTITUTION:The upper surface of a trough-like coagulating tank is opened to give an U-shaped form. Both the facing side surfaces and bottom surface of the opened tank are covered with a heat-insulating material 21, and a trough-like double tank 22 is disposed inside the heat-insulating material. Only the central portion of the double tank 22 is opened to give a C-shaped from the bottom surface, both the side surfaces and both the outside portions of the upper surface so as to minimize the area of the opened portion. Dividing plates 3 supported on a chain are inserted into the opened portions, and bean milk mixed with a coagulating agent in a divided chamber is transferred and simultaneously uniformly heated by a heating means for coagulating the beam milk to continuously produce TOFU. |
