Abstract: A barrier-film forming apparatus that forms a barrier film on an inner face of a container having a concave or convex portion as a processing target, including: a dielectric member having a cavity sized to enclose the container, an external electrode covering an outer circumference of the dielectric member, an exhaust unit installed on an end face of the external electrode on a side where a mouth of the container is located, with an insulating member interposed therebetween, and depressurizing inside of the container through an exhaust pipe, an internal electrode inserted from a side of the exhaust pipe and also serving as a gas blowout unit that blows out medium gas for generating a barrier film into the container, and an electric-field applying unit that applies an electric field for generating exhaust between the external electrode and a ground electrode.

Abstract: A seafood product cooking system includes a cooking vessel; a sensing module; a control module for measuring a set of cooking vessel parameters and outputting a set of control signals; a processing module for processing at least one signal from the sensing module and issuing control commands to the control module; and a memory module configurable to store a set of cooking process program instructions. A cooking process includes loading the product inside the cooking vessel; creating a negative pressure therein; increasing cooking vessel temperature to a first temperature; pumping in vapour comprising water vapour into the cooking vessel to initiate a process of attaining a second temperature lesser than the first temperature, wherein attaining the second temperature includes dwelling the seafood product at a plurality of intermediate temperatures; and spraying fluid including water on the seafood product to attain a third temperature that is lesser than the second temperature.

Abstract: Apparatus manufactures thin confectionery products with uniform shapes and has first and second drying apparatuses between shape cutting and baking apparatuses for adjusting water content of raw dough pieces. The first drying apparatus has upper and lower levels, the upper level having conveyor belts at plural stages for transporting the dough pieces under hot air atmosphere and the lower level having conveyor belt for cooling, and conveyor belt for maturing the cooled pieces. The second drying apparatus has atmosphere at lower temperature than the first drying apparatus and plural rotary drums each having an inlet and an outlet and being rotatably mounted in the second apparatus. A chute transports the raw dough pieces from uppermost to lowermost ones of the rotary drums.

Abstract: Provided is a belt-driving roller that can be manufactured at low cost for driving a wire mesh belt used as a conveyor belt in a circulating manner, and also provided is a food manufacturing apparatus using the driving roller. A belt-driving roller comprises: a rotation shaft; and toothed rollers concentrically attached to the outer circumference of the rotation shaft. The toothed roller comprises: a cylindrical base part on the outer circumference of which teeth are provided in a plurality of rows to engage with a wire mesh belt; and an attachment means for attaching the base part to the rotation shaft. The belt-driving roller is used in a food manufacturing apparatus.
