Abstract
A process for shaping a fish-paste product and an apparatus therefor. The process comprises moving a fish-paste sheet having grooves on one or both surfaces thereof in its length direction, curling the sheet obliquely to the sheet-moving direction with one lateral edge of the sheet as a core to form a rolled-up article, pulling the resulting rolled-up body in a direction parallel to the sheet-moving direction around a rolling post installed outside of the opposite lateral edge line of the sheet, and subjecting the rolled-up article to further processing.
Claims3
A process for shaping fish-paste products from fish paste materials which process comprises the steps of:
- (1) preparing a sheet composed of all of the fish paste materials in the product, said sheet having specific width and indefinite length and having incised lines or grooves formed in the lengthwise direction of the sheet on at least one of the two surfaces of the sheet;
- (1) causing the sheet to travel in its length-wise direction by applying tension to at least its front end in the lengthwise direction;
- (3) spirally and obliquely curling the thus traveling sheet at the front end portion thereof into a curled body having a lateral edge of the sheet as a core and extending obliquely to the sheet traveling direction and outward beyond the opposite lateral edge of the sheet;
- (4) pulling the resulting curled body in a direction substantially parallel to the sheet-moving direction, the curled body being inflected at a point on or outside a line determined by extending the line of said opposite lateral edge of the sheet, at which point the curled body is supported by a guide post means against the force biasing the curled body so that the curled body tends to be parallel to the sheet-moving direction due to the pulling, said guide post means being a roller with its axis perpendicular to the plate of the surface of the sheet, which roller has a substantially constant diameter along the axis, and said curled body traveling in contact with the surface of the roller at substantially a predetermined location along the length of the roller, thereby causing said tension to be applied to the sheet and the sheet to be rolled up into a rolled-up article;
- and then
- (5) subjecting the rolled-up article to further processing.
