Producing apparatus for fish meat processed food

Claim 1

An apparatus for continuously producing fish meat processed food in a bundled state of a number of filament-like fish meat from paste-like fish meat, the apparatus comprising: a solidification device for solidifying said paste-like fish meat into thin web-like fish meat, said solidification device comprising a nozzle device for stretching said paste-like fish meat into a web-like fish meat, a first endless belt device for transporting said paste-like fish meat from said nozzle device, a heating device provided on said first endless belt device to heat and solidify said paste-like fish meat, and a second endless belt device whose transporting inlet side is positioned slightly spaced from a transporting outlet side of said first endless belt device, said second endless belt cooling the solidified fish meat from said first endless belt device while transporting the solidified fish meat at the same moving speed as that of said first endless belt device; a first cutting device positioned on the transporting outlet side of said second endless belt device to cut said solidified fish meat lengthwise to form fine filament-like fish meat; a collection device for collecting said filament-like fish meat while transporting the same; a bundling device for urging and bundling the collected fish meat collected by said collection device, said bundling device comprising a lower conveyor device extending in a moving direction of said collected fish meat and having a lower supporting portion for supporting a lower portion of said collected fish meat and a lower conveyor device extending above said lower conveyor device and having an upper supporting portion for pressing said collected fish meat in a direction of said lower supporting portion while successively bearing on the upper portion of said collected fish meat; a packaging device positioned on transporting outlet sides of said upper and lower conveyors to package the peripheral surface of the bundled fish meat from said bundling device, said packaging device comprising a packaging film roll for packaging said bundled fish meat and a guide member for guiding said bundled fish meat so as to package the peripheral surface thereof while bearing the packaging film from said packaging film roll on said bundled fish meat; and a second cutting device for cutting the packaged fish meat packaged by said packaging device into its axial required length.
