Abstract
This invention relates to a method and an apparatus of continuously producing a bean curd. A first soybean supply nozzle (21) is positioned on a belt conveyor (10)to supply soymilk up to a half of the thickness of the bean curd to be produced. A hopper unit (41) is provided to place garnishes (G) onto the soymilk being carried on the conveyor belt. Furthermore, a second soymilk supply nozzle is provided to supply additional soymilk over the soymilk with garnishes carried on the belt conveyor till a certain level. A solidifying process and a maturing process of the materials placed over the conveyor (10) progress along with time during the supply stages. Then what is obtained from these steps after solidification is a bean curd with garnish(es) center.
