A food frying treatment apparatus includes: a frying oil circulation mechanism, which makes frying oil flow out from a frying oil tank on a downstream side and makes the frying oil flow in the frying oil tank on an upstream side by a frying oil inflow device, which ejects the frying oil in an upward direction from a bottom portion side of the frying oil tank; a frying food transport mechanism including a first transport mechanism, which transports the food fed into the frying oil tank on the upstream side in a floating state on a surface of the frying oil, and a second transport mechanism, which transports a frying food subsequently to the first transport mechanism in an immersed state below the surface of the frying oil in the frying oil tank; and a fried food collection mechanism, which collects a fried food from the frying oil tank.

Frying treatment apparatus

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for drying non-fried instant noodles for obtaining non-fried noodles that are easily loosened without sticking of noodle strings and excellent in restorability. The present invention includes, as a step of drying non-fried instant noodles, a step of putting gelatinized noodle strings into a drying retainer, and blowing a high-speed air flow from above the retainer toward a noodle mass of the noodle strings to perform drying. In the drying step, the retainer employed has a shape such that a transition portion from a bottom surface to a side surface (side wall portion) is formed to be a curved surface with a radius of curvature of 5 to 15 mm, and preferably the high-speed air flow is blown at a wind speed of 50 m/s or higher in terms of the speed to which the noodle strings are exposed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for drying non-fried noodles for obtaining non-fried noodles that are easily loosened without sticking of noodle strings and excellent in restorability. The present invention includes, as a step of drying non-fried noodles, a step of putting gelatinized noodle strings into a retainer, the retainer having one or more small holes in a bottom surface thereof so as to give a ratio of the total area of the small holes to the area of the bottom surface of the retainer of 30% or less, or having no small hole in the bottom surface, that is, the retainer having an aperture ratio of 0 to 30%, and blowing a high-speed air flow, preferably having a wind speed of 50 m/s or higher, from above the retainer toward the noodle strings in the retainer.

Method and device for drying instant noodles

A method for producing instant fried noodles which includes the steps of: reversing a noodle lump upside down within 15 seconds after detaching the noodle lump from oil in a fry tank in a frying treatment of the instant fried noodles; putting gelatinized noodle strings in a plurality of retainers pivotally supported by two endless parallel chains; immersing the plurality of retainers, in which the noodle strings have been put by movements of the two chains, in a fry tank to fry the noodle strings; detaching the retainers from oil in the fry tank by movements of the two chains; reversing the retainers upside down by rotating the pivotally supported retainers within 15 seconds after the detachment; conveying the retainers in a state in which the retainers are reversed upside down by movements of the chains; and separating a plurality of fried noodle lumps from the retainers.

Method for producing instant fried noodles and frying treatment device

A device includes a loosening room into which cooked rice is fed, an air blowing port which is configured to blow high-speed air toward the cooked rice in the loosening room; and a collecting room provided adjacent to the loosening room with a wall therebetween, the high-speed air is blown from the blowing port and is blown to the cooked rice in the loosening room such that the cooked rice is scatted and floated by blowing the air, and the cooked rice floating and moving over the wall is collected by the collecting room.

Electrodes Eand Eare formed on a substrate SB. Electrodes Eto Eare formed on the substrate SBto surround the electrodes Eand E. Conductive lines Land Lextend over the substrate SBto sandwich the electrodes Eand E, and are connected to the electrodes Eand E. An insulating sheet, having a surface exposed to outside, covers the electrodes Eto Eand conductive lines Lto L. When a finger contacts the insulating sheet, if there are the electrodes Eand Eon a bottom side of a contact portion, capacitances of the electrical conductors ECand ECare changed. When the finger contacts the insulating sheet, if there are the electrodes Eand the conductive line Lthat extends in the vicinity thereof on the bottom side of the contact portion, capacitances of the electrical conductors ECand ECare changed.
