摘要

PURPOSE:To carry out efficient and instantaneous mass production of SEKIHAN (steamed glutinous rice mixed with red beans), etc., by measuring and packing glutinous rice previously containing water content into a conveying vessel provided with a measuring hole, immersing the glutinous rice into soup stock of food raw materials for definite time and then heating the treated glutinous rice with humidified steam. CONSTITUTION:In state cutting water of glutinous rice previously containing water content and then mixing the glutinous rice with cow pea and the other various kind of raw materials, the glutinous rice is measured and packed from the feed and discharge port 16 of an installed machine casing 10 into each conveying vessel 15 provided with a measuring hole 17. Stock of various kinds of raw materials is absorbed into the glutinous rice by immersing the gluti nous rice into the stock in a bathtub 20 together with the vessel 15 for definite time during circulating transportation operation of conveying vessel 15 by an endless conveying band 12. Then, the treated glutinous rice is passed into a steaming chamber b, where the glutinous rice is steamed by heated steam for definite time and then taken out from the feed and discharge port 16 together with the vessel 15. As a result, good-quality SEKIHAN (steamed glutinous rice mixed with red beams) or OKOWA (steamed glutinous rice mixed with food raw materials) containing various kind of food raw materials can be instantaneously and efficiently produced in large scale.
