Appts. for mfg. reconstituted pepper, etc. - includes feed hopper level control conveyor and calcium chloride bath for gelling food material

摘要

A dough of a foodstuff esp. pepper is discharged from an upright vacuum hopper tank. A constant dough level is maintained in the tank by the use of a pouring tube with a float-operated regulating valve. The hopper discharges into the nip between a pair of laminating rollers and a porous conveyor removes the laminated dough and carries it through a calcium chloride gelling bath. Finally excess calcium chloride is removed by a water bath.
