PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for producing a wrapped food, capable of forming, in production of the wrapped food in which an inner material is wrapped with a sheet-like outer surface material, the sealing portion side of the outer surface material thinner than the opposite side thereof.SOLUTION: In wrapped food production for producing the wrapped food P in which the inner material F is wrapped with the outer surface material 5, the outer surface material 5 having a central portion 5B thicker than an edge portion 5C is molded by pressing and extending the outer surface material 5 by a molding conveyor 51 for carrying the outer surface material and an extension roller 55 disposed above the molding conveyor 51, the roller including a thin central portion 55A provided along the axial direction of a rotating shaft 58 and end portions 55C thicker than the central portion 55A provided at both ends of the same, and further pressing and extending the extended outer surface material 5 again by the extension roller 55 from a direction orthogonal to the extension direction of the outer surface material by the extension roller 55.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】板状の外皮材で内材を包み込んだ包被食品を製造するときに、外皮材の封着部側を反対側より薄く形成することのできる包被食品の製造装置および製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】外皮材5でもって内材Fを包み込んだ包被食品Pを製造するための包被食品製造するにあたり、外皮材を搬送する成形コンベア51と、該成形コンベア51の上方に配置され、その回転軸58の軸方向に沿って中央部55Aが細く、その両端に該中央部55Aより太い端部55Cを備えた延展ローラ55とにより挟圧して延展し、さらに、延展された前記外皮材5を延展ローラ55により延展された延展方向に直交する方向から、再度、前記延展ローラ55により挟圧して延展することにより、外皮材5の中央部5Bが縁部5Cより厚い形状の板状の外皮材5を成形する。【選択図】図8
