PURPOSE:To increase the productivity of bamboo-shaped FU (a light cake made of wheat gluten), to save the personnel expenditure, and to reduce the production cost, by automate the whole process of the preparation comprising the continuous winding of the gluten web to the winding bar, heating of the wound web, and the removal of the winding bar from the formed bamboo-shaped FU. CONSTITUTION:The gluten web 2a hung down from the web preparation apparatus is fed to the web winding apparatus, rolled, cut, wound on a winding bar 3, transferred to the first chain conveyor 44, and aged for a definite time interval by exposing to air during the vertical zigzag motion. The aged web is transferred to the second chain conveyor 46, introduced into the retainer cases attached to the conveyor 46 at regular intervals, and heated with steam of 90- 110 deg.C in the course of the zigzag transportation in the heating apparatus. The winding bar is removed from the bamboo-shaped FU discharged from the heating apparatus 45 by the winding bar removing device 60, and the bamboo-shaped FU is transferred to the belt conveyor 73, cut to a definite length by the rotary cutter 74 mounted near the front end of the conveyor 73, and sent to the product storage tank. The winding rod removed from the FU is returned to the web winding apparatus 1 by the return conveyor 70. |
