Abstract
An apparatus for making a noodle base having a construction wherein raw materials of a noodle base are kneaded and stretched in an arbitrary direction by a screw conveyor and extruded as a noodle base having a thick sheet-like form. The extrusion die has a split die structure consisting of a die main body having the upper surface thereof open and a cover body supported rotatably at the base end portion of the die main body and covering the open portion of the die main body, and the cover body is provided with a cover body pushing member for pushing the tip portion of the cover body lest the cover body float up, and for adjusting the height of an extrusion port of the noodle base by adjusting the height of the tip portion of the cover body relative to the die main body.
Claims15
An apparatus for making a noodle base, comprising:
- at least one cylindrical drum having a screw conveyor therein;
- means for rotating said screw conveyor;
- an inlet at one end of said conveyor for receiving raw materials of a noodle base therein;
- and
- An extrusion die at the other end of said conveyor for extruding the raw materials after having been kneaded and stretched by said screw conveyor as a noodle base, said extrusion die comprising a main die body having an open upper surface and a base end portion, a cover body rotatably supported on said base end portion of said main die body such that said cover body is rotatable to cover said open upper surface, said cover body and said open upper surface defining therebetween an extrusion port, and a cover body pushing member adjustably mounted relative to said main die body for preventing said cover body from being rotated and raised above said open upper surface beyond an adjustable limit, whereby said extrusion port is adjustable.
