A food material processing mechanism () includes: a conveyance unit () that conveys a soft food material () in a conveyance direction (D); a support unit () that is provided rotatably with respect to a rotation shaft extending in a width direction (D) orthogonal to the conveyance direction (D), to support the soft food material () conveyed by the conveyance unit (); and a pressing unit () that presses a part of a folded portion () of the soft food material () supported by the support unit () by jetting air thereto, to form a bending reference portion () serving as a reference portion for bending.

Food material processing mechanism, food material processing method, and food manufacturing method

A food production apparatus, a rotation method and a food production method which stably and accurately rotate a foodstuff workpiece by a desired angle are provided. At least any one of a first rotation unit () and a second rotation unit () is moved in such a manner that a foodstuff workpiece (W) is nipped and held by the first rotation unit () and the second rotation unit (). The first rotation unit () and the second rotation unit () which nip and hold the foodstuff workpiece (W) are actively rotated in synchronization with each other. At least any one of the first rotation unit () and the second rotation unit () is moved in such a manner that the foodstuff workpiece (W) is released from the first rotation unit () and the second rotation unit ().

Food production apparatus, rotation method and food production method

A food material processing mechanism, a food material processing method and a food manufacturing method which enable highly accurate bending of a sheet-shaped flexible food material such as a skin are provided. A food material processing mechanism includes a conveyance unit and a processing unit. A conveyance unit conveys a sheet-shaped flexible food material in a conveyance direction. A processing unit forms a bending reference portion being a reference portion for bending, in the flexible food material being conveyed by the conveyance unit. The processing unit includes a reference formation unit and a pressing unit. The reference formation unit locally applies a force to the flexible food material to form the bending reference portion. The pressing unit presses the flexible food material against the conveyance unit at least temporarily while the reference formation unit forms the bending reference portion in the flexible food material.

The present invention relates to a meat processed food, into which a gel-like material is locally and quantitatively filled. Provided is a method for producing a meat processed food, having a step of cooling a gelling agent solution prepared by adding a gelling agent into water and then heating and dissolving the gelling agent, so as to prepare a gel-like material having fluidity; and a step of filling the gel-like material into a plurality of predetermined positions inside a meat-containing raw material.

Method for producing meat processed food

A bending mechanism, a bending method and a food manufacturing method which are capable of bending a sheet-shaped flexible food material, such as a skin, with high accuracy and high speed are provided. A conveyance unitconveys a flexible food material. A support unitsupports a bending reference portionbeing a part of the flexible food materialin at least a part of a section while the flexible food materialis conveyed from a first conveyance area Ato a second conveyance area A. The conveyance unitincludes a first component partand a second component part. An angle formed by a support portion of the second component partwhich makes contact with a bending portionwith respect to a support portion of the first component partwhich makes contact with a base portioncontinuously changes from the first conveyance area Atoward the second conveyance area Ain such a manner that an angle of the bending portionwith respect to the base portionin the second conveyance area Ais larger than an angle of the bending portionwith respect to the base portionin the first conveyance area A
