RU218516U1 - DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING CEREAL BAR - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to devices for food production, cereals and nuts without the use of sugar binders.

The device for the production of food bars, containing a working chamber, sealed lids, a pressing unit, is additionally equipped with a steam supply unit, while the working chamber contains several rows of the same size holes for steam access, and the upper and lower rows of holes are made with a continuation of the contour of the inner surface of the lid.

The proposed device allows you to create food products without the use of additional technological processes for processing raw materials and the use of binders, such as, for example, sucrose, while maintaining the initial useful properties of raw materials.

Description

The utility model relates to food production devices

Known technology for the production of fruit bars for functional nutrition with vegetable, cereal and nut additives (patent No. RU 2493720 C1). This technology involves preliminary heat treatment of raw materials, as well as the use of sucrose, fructose and glucose as a binder. The disadvantage of this method is the change in appearance and properties as a result of heat treatment. In addition, the use of sugar as a binder sharply limits the range of consumers, since sugar is contraindicated for groups of people with diseases associated with it and its derivatives (in particular, it is contraindicated for people with diabetes mellitus).

In addition, a pressing device for forming food products is known (AS USSR No. 1681811, BI No. 37 of 07.11.1991). The device is proposed as a prototype. It contains a cylindrical chamber for placing foodstuffs, a piston for pressing and a cover mounted on the end of the chamber. The formation of the product takes place in several stages. This device is applicable for the formation of semi-finished products, for example, in meat production. In the production of food bars from cereals and nuts, it does not allow you to get a quality product, because the bars are fragile and crumble when removed from the chamber. The addition of binder sugars to obtain a stronger structure is unacceptable for products aimed at the field of healthy nutrition.

The objective of the utility model is to manufacture food bars from cereals and nuts without the use of binder sugars.

The problem is solved by the proposed device for the manufacture of cereal bars, containing a working chamber, sealed lids, a pressing unit, which is additionally equipped with a steam supply unit, while the working chamber contains several rows of the same size holes for steam access, and the upper and lower rows of holes are made with a continuation contour of the inner surface of the lid.

The inventive device for making cereal bars is schematically shown in FIG. 1 where:

1 - cover,

2 - working chamber,

3 - pressing unit.

In FIG. 2 shows in section the working chamber 2 (Fig. 2a) and cover 1 (Fig. 2b).

The device works according to the following principle: the working chamber (2) is rigidly fixed to the seats of the pressing equipment, and the covers (1) are attracted to the edges of the working chamber by means of threaded connections through sealing materials. On the front parts of the covers, a tube is installed through the fastening connection and water vapor is supplied with a temperature of 110°C to 150°C. Processing of manufactured products with steam takes place directly in the pressing process. Numerous holes evenly distribute the supplied steam throughout the entire volume of raw materials, preventing wetting and further destruction of individual parts of the manufactured product.

The use of water vapor in the pressing process provides a more reliable bonding of the components of the manufactured product. This effect is achieved due to the production of albumin protein on the surface of the processed grains upon contact with water (Savina, O.V. Botanika: plant biochemistry), which is distributed over the volume and plays the role of a natural binder.

Uniform distribution of steam, necessary for proper bonding and prevention of wetting of individual parts of the manufactured products, is achieved by arranging the holes in the working chamber in such a way that they continue the contours of the internal cavity of the lids. This feature of the device is also necessary to prevent the accumulation of condensate formed during the cooling of steam after the processing of raw materials.

Thus, the proposed device allows you to create food products without the use of additional technological processes for processing raw materials and the use of binders, while maintaining the initial useful properties.
