Abstract
In the method and apparatus for continuous roasting of food materials according to the present invention, a food material is mixed up by blades (9f) provided on a paddle plate (9d) via an elastic material (9f1) in a tubular cylinder (1) with open ends. Thus the blades (9f1) come in contact, at least once, with all faces of the inner wall of the tubular cylinder (1) while the screw shaft makes one rotation. As a result, roasting can be completed in a favorable manner.
Claims14
An apparatus for continuous roasting of food materials comprising:
- a horizontally placed, tubular cylinder having an inlet, an outlet, and a hollow formed therethrough;
- a jacket provided around the outer periphery of said tubular cylinder;
- a paddle screw rotatably inserted into the hollow of said tubular cylinder and comprising a screw shaft provided with a blade;
- and
- a rotational drive unit for driving said paddle screw, wherein said blade of said paddle screw is adapted in such a manner as to rotate while being in contact with the inner wall of said tubular cylinder;
- and
- wherein said blade is operative to force food materials within said tubular cylinder along a longitudinal axis of said tubular cylinder upon a rotational movement of said screw shaft;
- and wherein said blade is attached to said screw shaft via an elastic component.
