PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cut soybean curd in such a manner that syneresis and deformation of soybean curd occur rarely, to pack and to transport to a frying process efficiently and variously, for achieving high cutting processing performance.SOLUTION: The cutting method comprises: at least one crossing cutting step of arranging at least one crossing cutting edge for cutting a sheet-shaped soybean curd dough T which is formed continuously into plural rows of narrow-strip state soybean curd doughs having row width of at least one row of size to be packed in a row direction and a vertical cutting step in which at least two rows of the narrow-strip state soybean curd doughs cut in the crossing cutting step are cut into one soybean curd dough in a line direction. In the vertical cutting step, preferably, plural vertical cutting edges cut the plural rows of the narrow-strip state soybean curd doughs T2 are cut into one soybean curd T3 in a state that the narrow-strip state soybean curd doughs are stopped and positioned by positioning means of an upstream side, or a downstream side, or a left side, or a right side for stopping the plural rows of the narrow-strip state soybean curd doughs on a transport conveyor C2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 離水が生じ難く豆腐の変形を生じ難くしつつ切断するとともに、パック詰めや油揚げ工程への搬送を多様でかつ効率的にして、高い切断処理能力を可能にする。【解決手段】 連続的に成形されるシート状豆腐生地Tからパック詰めする大きさの少なくとも1行分の行幅を有する複数行分の細帯状豆腐生地に行方向で切断する少なくとも1つ以上の横切り切断刃を配設する少なくとも1つ以上の横切り切断工程と、横切り切断工程により切断した少なくとも2行以上の複数行の細帯状豆腐生地を1個分の豆腐生地に列方向で切断する縦切り切断工程とを備え、好ましくは前記縦切り切断工程では、前記搬送コンベアC2上の複数行分の細帯状豆腐生地を停止させる上流側ないしは下流側又は左側ないしは右側の位置決め手段により複数行分の細帯状豆腐生地を停止させ位置決めした状態で複数の縦切り切断刃を備えた縦切り切断工程によって複数行の細帯状豆腐生地T2を一斉にその列方向で1個分のT3に切断する。【選択図】図1
