PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method for manufacturing food products, allowing an auxiliary material to be continuously blended into a highly viscous base food material in a short time, with the properties being kept.SOLUTION: A food manufacturing device 1 includes a vertical-type mixer 10 and an extruder 20. The vertical-type mixer 10 has a mixer body part 11 including a mixing chamber 12 of which central axis intersects with a horizontal plane, a mixing screw 13 coaxially arranged with the mixing chamber 12, a mixture ejecting part 14 arranged at the bottom of the mixing chamber 12, a base material feeding part 15 arranged above the mixture discharging part 14, and an auxiliary material feeding part 16 arranged above the base material feeding part 15. The clearance between the blade part of the mixing screw 13 and the mixer body part 11 is larger than the particle diameter of the auxiliary material. The extruder 20 includes an approximately horizontal molding body part 21, a mixed dough feeding part 22 arranged below the mixture discharging part 14, on one end side of the molding body part 21, a molding discharging part 23 arranged on another end side of the molding body part 21, and extruding screws 25 and 26 arranged between the one end side and the other end side of the molding body part 21.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】高粘度の基材食材に副原料食材を、性状を維持したまま短時間かつ連続的に混合できる食品製造装置および食品製造方法の実現。【解決手段】食品製造装置1は縦型混合機10と押出成形機20を備え、縦型混合機10の混合機本体部11は、中心軸が水平面と交差する混合室12、混合室12と同軸の混合スクリュー13、混合室12下部に配設された混合吐出部14、混合吐出部14上方に配設された基材投入部15、基材投入部15上方に配設された副原料投入部16を備え、混合スクリュー13の翼部と混合機本体部12の間隙が副原料食材の粒径よりも大きく、押出成形機20は、略水平の成形本体部21、成形本体部21の一端側で混合吐出部14下方に配設された混合生地投入部22、成形本体部21の他端側に配設された成形吐出部23、および成形本体部21の一端側と他端側の間に押出スクリュー25、26を備えている。【選択図】 図1
