PURPOSE:To improve qualities of noodles by treatment in a short time by sending an electric current between electrodes and properly heating noodle dough, noodle belt or long strips of noodle between the electrodes by Joule's heat. CONSTITUTION:A heater to send an electric current to electrodes in the direction of thickness of noodle belt is illustrated by example. An electrode roll 9 is rotatably supported on a fixing frame 12 of an insulating material such as synthetic resin, connected to a feeder terminal 13, linked through an insulating coupling 15 to a rotation drive source 14 such as motor and can be rotated around a shaft. An electrode roll 8 is supported on a movable frame 16 of electrical insulating material and connected to a feeder terminal 17 and further constituted to periodically rotate with the roll 9 through transmission mechanism such as gears 18 and 19 of electrical insulating material. The movable insulating frame 16 is vertically rockingly overhung and pressure applied to the electrode rolls 8 and 9 can be adjusted by a applied pressure adjusting handle 21 suspended from a frame 20. Consequently desired heat treatment is carried out. |
