Patent

CA 2501334

The present invention utilizes a containment tube (30) to facilitate production of a curly puff extrudate (20) and a blade (40) to nick the extrudate (16) as it exists a die. A gap is provided between the tube and an extruder die (12) to allow a blade (40) access to the extrudate (16) as it exits an orifice (14) in the die (12). The blade (40) accesses the extrudate (16) while it is in a viscous melt, before the extrudate (16) has cooled and hardened. The blade (40) nicks the extrudate (16), as opposed to completely cutting it, thereby allowing the extrudate (16) to remain connected throughout processing such as curling in the containment tube (30). The gap also allows steam to be vented form the extrudate (16) as it exits the orifice (14) in the die (12). The curly puff extrudate (20) separates when fried or baked.

L'invention utilise un tube de confinement (30) afin de faciliter la production d'un extrudat de choux en spirale (20) et une lame (40) afin d'entailler l'extrudat (16) au moyen d'un poinçon (12). Un espace est fourni entre le tube et le poinçon de l'extrudeuse (12) afin de permettre à une lame (40) d'accéder à l'extrudat (16) grâce à un orifice (14) percé dans le poinçon (12). La lame (40) accède à l'extrudat (16) lorsque ce dernier se trouve dans une matière fondue visqueuse, avant que l'extrudat (16) n'ait refroidi et durci. La lame (40) entaille l'extrudat (16), sans le découper entièrement, ce qui permet à l'extrudat (16) de demeurer relié au cours du processus comme le roulage dans le tube de confinement (30). L'espace permet aussi d'évacuer la vapeur de l'extrudat (16) au moyen de l'orifice (14) du pinçon (12). L'extrudat de choux en spirale (20) se sépare lorsqu'il est frit ou cuit.
