PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, for boiling noodles in hot water over 100°C in pressured environment with a pressure container by a divided pot traveling system, that prevents clinging noodles and clogging of a feed pipe when the noodles are fed into the pressure container, and efficiently produces noodles in mass quantities.SOLUTION: Taking noodles in or out from a pressure container is conducted by a noodle feeding pipe that leads to the inside of the pressure container and is connected upwardly and a noodle removing pipe that leads to the inside of the pressure container and is connected downwardly. Both the noodle feeding pipe and the noodle removing pipe are connected to an inner pipe valve in contact with the pressure container, a noodle holding pipe, an outer pipe valve in this order. The noodles are passed through by opening and closing the inner/outer pipe valves alternately. When the noodles are fed, the noodle holding pipe in the noodle feeding pipe is ventilated by air and the outer pipe valve is opened. Then, the noodle holding pipe is ventilated with the pressure container and the inner pipe valve is opened. When the noodles are removed, the noodles and water are held above the inner pipe valve of the noodle removing pipe in advance, and the inner pipe valve is opened, then the outer pipe valve is opened.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】区画カゴ巡回方式で、圧力容器による加圧環境により100℃を超える温度で茹上げる方法で、圧力容器に麺線を投入する際に、麺線の付着や投入パイプの詰まりの問題がなく、効率良く量産に適する茹上げ方法の提供。【解決手段】圧力容器における麺線の入れ出しが、該圧力容器内部に通じ上向きに連結された麺線投入管と該圧力容器内部に通じ下向きに連結された麺線取出管によるもので、麺線投入管と麺線取出管が、共に該圧力容器に接する内側管バルブ、麺線収容管、外側管バルブの順で連結され、内外の管バルブを交互に開閉して麺線を通過させ、麺線を入れる際は、麺線投入管の麺線収容管を大気と通気して外側管バルブを開け、次いで、該麺線収容管を圧力容器と通気して内側管バルブを開け、麺線を出す際は、麺線取出管の内側管バルブの上に予め麺線と水を待機させて内側管バルブを開け、次いで、外側管バルブを開ける。【選択図】図3
