摘要： An improved method to produce a dough sheet having improved uniform properties in a high-speed manufacturing environment. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the dough sheeting system comprises improved control of dough particles in the sheeter nip, and improved control of dough properties across the width of the dough sheet including, but not limited to, uniform thickness, uniform work input, uniform moisture content, uniform emulsifier content, and uniform dry ingredient content. In a preferred embodiment, the improvements described herein enable the high-speed production of stackable chip products. Improved mixing and control of process conditions in dry and wet upstream mixers enable such production.

摘要： Apparatus and method for slicing potatoes and washing or coating the potato slices wherein the slices exit a slicing mechanism and are directed between inner and outer spray rings that generate a pressurized water mist which washes the slices. The nozzles in the inner spray ring face the nozzles in the outer ring so that the pressurized water mist is formed in a predetermined area located between the rings. The high pressure water mist removes surface starch from the slices, and vibrating sieve arrangements disposed downstream of the slicing apparatus cooperate with a series of spray bars to further clean the slices. The apparatus of the invention is also used in a method of coating potato slices with a treating material.

摘要： A dispenser for distributing food seasoning and other cohesive solids includes a rotating auger enclosed by a tube which is fed via a hopper. The auger is divided into two sections, each with a different pitch. In a first metering section, the pitch is narrow to facilitate accurate metering of the seasoning. This is followed by a distribution section of higher pitch which reduces the bulk density of the seasoning so that it passes easily through a series of apertures in the tube. A sleeve is slidably secured to the tube and has a series of apertures registerable with the apertures in the tube. By adjusting the degree of register, the seasoning can be distributed evenly along the entire length of the distribution section. The tube contains a second set of apertures located about 180.degree. from the first set, and which are used for distribution of non-cohesive, small particle size material, such as salt. The dispenser may be mounted in a rotating drum and used for seasoning snack food, such as potato chips and the like.

摘要翻译： 用于分配食物调味料和其它粘性固体的分配器包括由管道封闭的旋转螺旋器，该管子通过料斗进料。 螺旋钻分为两个部分，每个部分具有不同的间距。 在第一计量部分中，间距窄，以便于调味料的准确计量。 其后是较高间距的分配部分，其减少调味料的堆积密度，使得其容易地通过管中的一系列孔。 套筒可滑动地固定到管上，并且具有可与管中的孔对准的一系列孔。 通过调整登记程度，可以在分配区域的整个长度上均匀分布调味料。 该管包含第二组孔，其位于距离第一组大约180°的位置，并且用于分配非粘性的小粒度材料，例如盐。 分配器可以安装在旋转的滚筒中并用于调味小吃食品，例如马铃薯片等。

摘要： A mold form fryer utilizing a top conveyor that transports snack pieces through a constant velocity oil stream without the need of a bottom mating mold or conveyor. Herein, the form fryer having a fryer housing for controlling the frying atmosphere is provided with a top conveyor disposed above a fryer oil pan positioned longitudinally through the fryer. Uncooked snack pieces are provided to the fryer oil pan by a bottom entrance conveyor. A steam shield separates a front-end vestibule from the downstream portion of the fryer housing, and inert gas manifolds introduce inert gas into the front-end vestibule, thereby providing a sufficiently low oxygen and sufficiently low condensable gas or steam environment near the product submerging point.
