PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for producing better soy milk whose aging function is fully exerted.SOLUTION: The apparatus for producing soy milk includes: a boiling part B having a plurality of boiling cans 20 each provided with a steam ejecting part 28, and gradually heating raw Go (mashed raw soybeans with water) to be boiled while the raw Go continuously flows through a conveying path 21 connected to the respective boiling cans 20 a cooling part C which includes a double pipe 45, and conducts heat exchange where the boiled Go generated in the boiling part B flows through a Go-feeding pipe 46 as an inside pipe line of the double pipe 45 while cooling water flows through a cooling water-feeding pipe 47 as the outside pipe line of the double pipe to face the boiled Go so as to cool the boiled Go to have a temperature lower than the temperature during boiling an aging part D which is provided with a plurality of aging cans 60 having a steam ejecting part 78, and keeps the boiled Go to have a prescribed temperature while the cooled boiled Go continuously flows through a feeding path 61 connected to the respective aging cans 60 and a separation part E where soy milk is separated from the aged boiled Go.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】熟成機能を十分に発揮させてより良質な豆乳を得る。【解決手段】蒸気噴出部28を備えた煮沸缶20が複数本設けられ、各煮沸缶20にわたる給送路21に連続して生呉が流通する間にこの生呉を次第に加熱して煮沸する煮沸部Bと、二重管45から構成され、この二重管45の内側管路である呉給送管46に煮沸部Bで生成された煮呉が、外側管路である冷却水給送管47に冷却水が対向して流通して熱交換されることで、煮呉を煮沸時の温度よりも低い温度に冷却する冷却部Cと、蒸気噴出部78を備えた熟成缶60が複数本設けられ、各熟成缶60にわたる給送路61に連続して冷却された煮呉が流通する間において、この煮呉を所定温度に保持する熟成部Dと、この熟成後の煮呉から豆乳を分離させる分離部Eとが具備されている。【選択図】図1
