摘要:
A doughnut making machine and apparatus has a hopper for the dough of a type which exudes gluten or other sticky substances when compressed, the hopper terminates in a lower cylinder which co-acts with the cutting surfaces on a lower cutting piston. An extruding piston pushes the dough out between the cutting edge of the cylinder and the cutting piston and, thereafter, with retraction of the cutting piston, the dough is severed into a conventional toroidal shape. Edible release oil is distributed onto the cutting edges of the piston and the cutting edge of the cylinder by various distribution techniques. The method by which doughnuts are extruded in a generally toroidal shape while distributing a film of edible release oil onto the dough cutting surfaces and then severing the formed toroidal shaped doughnut from the cutting surfaces whereby the doughnut contacts the release oil on the dough cutting surface and freely releases from the cylinder's cutting edge.

A doughnut making machine and apparatus has a hopper (18) for the dough of a type which exudes gluten or other sticky substances when compressed, the hopper (18) terminates in a lower cylinder (20) which co-acts with the cutting surfaces on a lower cutting piston (26). An extruding piston (24) pushes the dough out between the cutting edge (22) of the cylinder and the cutting piston (26) and, thereafter, with retraction of the cutting piston (26), the dough is severed into a conventional toroidal shape and falls in cooking oil in a frying tank. Cooking oil from the frying tank is distributed onto the cutting edges of the piston and the cutting edge of the cylinder by various distribution techniques. Cooking oil is picked up from the frying tank using a dipstick (30) and is transmitted to the dough cutting surfaces using gravity and capillary action. The method by which doughnuts are extruded in a generally toroidal shape while distributing a film of cooking oil onto the dough cutting surfaces and then severing the formed toroidal shaped doughnut from the cutting surfaces whereby the doughnut contacts the cooking oil on the dough cutting surface and freely releases from the cylinder's cutting edge.

A small, inexpensive doughnut fryer has a conveyor (28) and separate elevator (32) that are driven from the same shaft without interference with one another. Sprockets (40) for driving the elevator are recessed to receive rods (30) from the conveyor. The entire conveyor assembly is provided with a quick release coupling (20) to the power supply. A method and apparatus for moving objects to be fried through a hot frying liquid by producing intermittent waves and eddies in the liquid in the desired direction of travel to propel the objects in a straight line.

A turner arm assembly for a doughnut fryer has a pivot axle on one end that is provided with a hardened ball mounted in a cylindrical hardened bearing of the sidewall of a conveyor assembly. In an alternative form a straight diameter pivot axle is provided in a crowned internal diameter of the hardened bearing. The opposite end of the turner arm assembly is drivingly connected to a drive axle fixed to a cam. A removable stop prevents the pivot axle from moving outwardly of the sidewall of the conveyor assembly. The turner arm assembly is removed by moving the stop, shifting the turner arm axially until the turner arm is free of the drive axle, then sliding the turner arm back inwardly of the sidewall of the conveyor assembly while the pivot axle connection with the sidewall of the conveyor assembly gives complete free movement of upward pivotal movement of the turner arm to clear the opposite end of the turner arm over the sidewall for removal.

An apparatus to apportion and dispense dough and batter, which comprises a hopper (20) for the material to be dispensed wherein the material is discharged through an outlet (24) of the hopper having a lower, circumferential cutting edge (70) and is cut off by a piston (180) having an upper, circumferential cutting edge (190), the piston (180) has an upper, fixed, coaxial boss (200), which has a convex, frusto-conical surface (210) extending upwardly and being spaced from the cutting edge (190) of the piston (180). Also, an annulus (50) providing the outlet (24) has a concave, frusto-conical surface (220), which flares upwardly.

Devices, systems and methods for thawing, heating and/or glazing previously frozen baked goods and other dough-based products, wherein the products can be thawed in an environment having a selected temperature and elevated humidity; the conveyor is configured to prevent early and excessive insertion of the products into the oven; the oven is configured to heat the products to greater than a selected surface temperature; and wherein the glazer is configured to apply glaze to the products when the surface temperature of the product is within a desired range.
