Abstract

The present invention relates to a roller to be used as part of an apparatus for spreading and flattening dough, in the context of an industrial bread making line. The dough spreading roller of the present invention is comprised of multiple offset discs installed on a shaft, which accords the roller with an undulating surface. The dough spreading roller of the invention provides a massaging and kneading force to the dough from underneath the conveyor belt. The dough spreading roller also includes end nuts which serve to level the edges of the conveyor belt level during use. The conveyor belt is also provided with a calendar roller located above which provides an opposing and flattening force to said dough spreading roller. The dough is therefore processed between the calendar roller, conveyor, and underlying spreading roller. The invented configuration provides a gentler, less vigorous treatment of the dough which facilitates industrial manufacture of a softer, less processed dough.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a dough feeding system for use as part of an industrial bread making line. The dough feeding system is configured to form and convey a continuous belt of dough for further processing before it is cut into individual units, formed, and then either baked immediately or frozen for later use. The described dough feeding system is particularly suitable for doughs used to make flat breads, as it is provided with pinwheel-shaped rollers for scooping dough from a dough mass, to form a dough belt. The dough belt is thus gently formed and passed onwards to further rollers which press the dough into the desired thickness. This configuration provides for minimal handling of and stress on the dough. This results in a softer, more flexible product that can ultimately be used to form a more uniform final product with improved properties.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a compact and substantially enclosed dough belt forming apparatus for use as part of an industrial bread making line. The dough belt forming apparatus is configured to form and convey a continuous belt of dough for further processing before it is proofed, cut into individual units, and then either baked immediately or frozen for later use. The described dough belt forming apparatus is particularly suitable for doughs used to make flat breads, as it is provided with internal conveyors for the conditioning phase of the dough, which protects the dough from drying out from exposure. Multiple levels of internal conveyors are provided, which allows for the apparatus to be more compact than comparable machinery of the prior art.
