APPARATUS FOR FORMING SPHERICAL FOOD COVERED WITH OUTER COAT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus capable of sending a thin coat part of an outer coat at the creasing face side faster than a thick coat part at a non- creasing face side. SOLUTION: This apparatus for forming a spherical food covered with an outer coat is equipped with a material sending means 11 for continuously sending contents G and an outer coat S covering the contents from a contents sending nozzle and an outer coat sending nozzle 10, a crease forming means 14 for making creases 13 on one side of the outer coat S transported from the outer coat sending nozzle 10 and a cutting means 16 for cutting the outer coat S provided with the creases 13 and the contents G at fixed intervals and completely covering the contents G with the outer coat S. The outer coat sending nozzle 10 is furnished with an eccentric ring-shaped nozzle hole 22 between an outer and inner cylindrical parts. The ring-shaped nozzle hole 22 has the opening width of an opening part, through which the creasing face side of an outer coating material Sm is passed, smaller than that of an opening part through which a non-creasing face side is passed and forms the opening length of the wide opening part longer than that of the narrow opening part.
