Food processing device

A food processing device comprising a conveyor for intermittently conveying cylindrical shell foods having a pair of open ends, a keep plate positioned above the conveyor and mounted for reciprocation toward and away from the conveyor when the conveyor is stopped to hold the shell foods, measuring means for measuring pasty flavour, an extruding nozzle for extruding the measured pasty flavour into the shell foods on the conveyor, the extruding nozzle being reciprocably mounted and having an open end which is reciprocable when the conveyor is stopped between a first position in which the open end is positioned outside of a cylindrical shell and a filling position in which the open end is positioned slightly inwardly of one of the open ends of a cylindrical shell, a stopper mounted for reciprocation toward and away from the open end of the shell food opposite the extruding nozzle when the conveyor is stopped, and an air jet nozzle for jetting air into the flavour inserted cylindrical shell foods and for thinly coating the pasty flavour on the inner surface of the shell food, the air jet nozzle being reciprocably mounted and having an open end which is reciprocable when the conveyor is stopped between a first position in which the open end is positioned outside of a cylindrical shell and a coating position in which the open end is positioned slightly inwardly of one of the open ends of a cylindrical shell, the air jet nozzle being spaced from the extruding nozzle in the direction in which the conveyor advances whereby the open ends of the extruding nozzle and the air jet nozzle are substantially simultaneously reciprocated into their second positions into cylindrical shell foods spaced along the conveyor when the conveyor is stopped, whereby each food shell is treated first by an extruding nozzle then by a downstream airjet nozzle.
