PURPOSE:To produce automatically Kamaboko(boiled fish paste) like legs of crab in high productivity without causing coloring unevenness, by detecting fish meat like legs of crab extruded and shaped on a tip of conveyor by a phototube, coloring it automatically, cutting it into a given length. CONSTITUTION:A raw material for Kamaboko like legs of crab having good taste, consisting essentially of ground fish meat, is fed to the molding machine 2, and the belt conveyor 1a of the conveyor device 1 is rotated. The shape of the Kamaboko A like legs of crab moving on the belt conveyor 1a and the cutting pitch are set by the speed control handle 19 and the device 3 for adjusting the tip height, the distance between the coloring roll 6 and the conveyor device 1 is set by the device 14 for adjusting contact pressure. The nozzle 2a of the molding machine 2 is opened, and the Kamaboko A is extruded, and transported on the conveyor 1a. When it is detected by the phototube 21, the solenoid valve 12 is opened, a coloring solution is dropped on the transfer roll 7 of the coloring device 4, applied to the coloring roll 6, the circular surface of the Kamaboko A moving under the roll is colored in a pattern state, cut by the cutter 15, and sent to the packaging device 16.
