  • Patent number: 11920609
    Abstract: An axial fan rotates around a rotating shaft. The axial fan includes a hub, and a plurality of blades extending in a radial direction from the hub. Each blade includes a leading edge, a trailing edge including a depression, and a reinforcing protrusion located at least forwardmost and having a wall thickness thicker than a surrounding portion. As viewed along a rotating shaft direction, when a first virtual line and a second virtual line perpendicular to the radial direction are drawn, the reinforcing protrusion extends radially inside of the first virtual line and extends radially outside of the second virtual line, the first virtual line and the second virtual line respectively pass through a rearmost first endpoint in the rotation direction on a radially inside of a rear end that substantially overlaps the depression, and a rearmost second endpoint on a radially outside of the rear end.

  • Patent number: 11497232
    Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] The present invention provides a method for producing fried noodles having a reduced sodium content and excellent noodle making properties, texture, and flavor. [Solution] Fresh noodles having excellent noodle making properties, texture, and flavor can be produced not by adding salt but by adding 1 to 3% by weight of potassium lactate relative to a main raw material powder such as wheat flour. Further, fried noodles having a reduced sodium content and excellent texture and flavor can be produced by steaming the fresh noodles and fry drying.

  • Patent number: 11497231
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing non-fried noodles having a reduced sodium content and excellent noodle making properties, texture, and flavor. Fresh noodles having excellent noodle making properties, texture, and flavor can be produced by adding 1 to 3% by weight of potassium lactate relative to a main raw material powder such as wheat flour even without adding salt. Further, non-fried noodles having a reduced sodium content and excellent texture and flavor can be produced by steaming the fresh noodles and then drying the noodles by hot air. Moreover, after drying, the non-fried noodles dried by hot air to have a moisture of 7 to 14% by weight is further subjected to a heating process with high-temperature hot air, a gas mixture of high-temperature hot air and water vapor, or superheated steam at 120 to 200° C. until the moisture of the non-fried noodles is reduced to 3 to 6% by weight, which can consequently reduce a harsh taste derived from potassium lactate.
