NOODLE CUTTING DEVICE, NOODLE PRODUCTION DEVICE, NOODLE, AND INSTANT NOODLE PRODUCTION METHOD

Provided are a noodle cutting device and a noodle production device that are capable of reducing or preventing adhesion between noodles (52a, 52b), particularly thick noodles. This noodle cutting device comprises: a pair of cutting blade rolls (10a, 10b) having a plurality of annular grooves (12a, 12b) arranged in parallel so as to face and mesh with each other; plate-shaped sections (24a, 24b) that extend along the longitudinal direction of the cutting blade rolls; scrapers (20a, 20b) having a plurality of protrusions (22a, 22b) on a long side of the plate-shaped sections and extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the long side, said scrapers being configured such that the each of the plurality of protrusions engage with the corresponding annular groove among the plurality of annular grooves in the cutting blade rolls and peels noodles that are in the plurality of annular grooves from the cutting blade rolls; and comb plates (30a, 30b) having a plurality of protrusions (32a, 32b) arranged displaced from the center of the plurality of annular grooves, along the longitudinal direction of the cutting blade rolls, and being arranged such that the plurality of protrusions are in contact with the noodles at a position at which the noodles are not in contact with the cutting blade rolls or the plurality of protrusions in the scrapers.
