摘要:
A method and apparatus for a reciprocating kneader. A primary rotational gear is attached to a gear box primary shaft and rotates in concert therewith and engages a secondary rotational gear. The primary rotational gear drive provides a primary source of rotation for a kneading screw and for the secondary gear as a secondary source of rotation. An adjustable eccentric is coupled to the secondary oscillation gear and rotates in concert therewith for reciprocation motion.

The invention relates to a continuous dough kneading machine for pastry or bread mixes, such as for sandwich bread, said machine comprising: a substantially tubular chamber (C) provided with an inlet (E) for the dough to be kneaded and an outlet (S) for the kneaded dough, including a constriction, said chamber (C) comprising an upstream sub-chamber (C1) connected to the inlet (E) and a downstream sub-chamber (C2) connected to the outlet (S); means (P, V) for creating a negative pressure in the downstream sub-chamber (C2); and two shafts (1a, 1b) rotatably mounted inside the chamber (C), supporting dough-conveying members (5a, 5b) disposed in particular in the upstream chamber (C1) and dough-kneading members (7a, 7b, 9a, 9b) disposed in particular in the downstream chamber (C2). The machine also comprises means (1a, 1b, 11a, 11b) for forming a dough obstruction (B1) in the transition zone from the upstream chamber to the downstream chamber.

The invention relates to a method and device for continuous production of articles including at least two different types from a pasty mass. The mass is introduced into a processor unit by a supply unit, processed in the processor unit and transported further thereby, whereupon an adjunct is added by a metering unit to the mass transported through the processor unit. The mixing of the adjunct introduced to the mass is carried out by a mixing unit with mixing elements located downstream of the processor unit. The mass with provided adjunct is formed by a forming unit into individual articles downstream of the mixing unit. According to the invention, the metering of the adjunct is carried out in a sequence of metering conditions with at least two different metering conditions, wherein the metering unit, for a given metering condition, introduces the adjunct to the mass at a given metering rate.

Dough pump 12 includes an auger 22 that moves oncoming dough from the upwardly facing entry opening 19 of the cylindrical housing 24 and expels the dough laterally from a side delivery conduit 26. A developer 14 includes a laterally facing entry conduit 40 aligned with the side delivery conduit 26 of the dough pump. Developer paddle 48 gently moves the dough along the developer housing 44 to a downwardly facing delivery conduit 46. The dough pump motor 30 and the developer motor 50 are located on opposite ends of their respective housings. The dough pump auger 22 pushes the dough away from the motor and its transmission and toward the side delivery conduit 26. Likewise, the developer paddle 48 moves the dough in the opposite direction away from the motor and its transmission so that the seals at the inlet end portions of the dough pump and developer are less likely to be over-pressurized and are less likely to leak.
摘要:
Mass handling methods for the continuous processing of masa type dough in conjunction with commonly available feed processing equipment, such as a masa extruder, an oven, or cooling apparatus. One masa handling method includes a masa separator having a pair of opposed, endless belt conveyors having facing surfaces spaced apart to receive a generally continuous masa stream output from a nozzle on the masa extruder. When the masa stream moves between the conveyors, it is gripped by their facing surfaces and moved away from the nozzle, causing the masa to be separated into individual pieces, or logs. The masa handling method can also include feeding the masa to masa hoppers fed by at least two endless belt conveyors arranged in upstream and downstream positions relative to each other. The masa is transported along the conveyors and is automatically diverted into one masa hopper by a diverter gate operated by a controller that receives a signal from a sensor sensing a masa level within an associated one of the hoppers. The hopper has one or more rotating shafts having projections to remove gas bubbles from the masa and force it toward the sheeter rollers. A pair of primary rollers with scrapers can be provided within the hopper to roll the masa to an intermediate thickness before it passes between the sheeter rollers.

The protein framework is developed in a continuously working 2-shaft kneading device for the production of paste product dough without--as was previously required--a dwelling time of 10-15 minutes in a mixing trough. In so doing, a so-called dry and crumbly dough is formed. This is transferred to a directly adjoining single-shaft screw press without the application of pressure if possible. The apparatus accordingly includes three characteristic process stages: a first whirling mixer for the intimate mixing of the dry components with water, a 2-shaft kneading device, and a single-shaft press.
摘要:
An extrusion processed cookie is produced having shear sensitive particulates and/or heat sensitive additions uniformly dispersed therein. A dry flour blend, including flour, dry milk solids and salt is added to a blending zone of a cooker-extruder with a fat or shortening. The mixture is blended and heat-treated in a heating zone of the extruder under high temperatures without fat separation to form a heat-treated mass. The heat-treated mass is cooled in a cooling zone followed by the addition of a sugar, heat sensitive and/or shear sensitive ingredient to form a cookie composition. Water is also introduced to the cooling zone in an amount effective to produce a dough-like consistency. The heat-treated cookie composition is extruded and shaped into an unleavened and unexpanded cookie dough piece. The cookie pieces are then leavened by heating in a convection, microwave or radio frequency oven to produce a leavened cookie having a crumb-like structure.
摘要:
An extruder operating to continuously mix, at least partially bake and extrude a preselected formulation of ingredients to provide an at least partially baked output product which, upon final baking, exhibits a cookie-like crumb structure with structural integrity. The extruder includes an added water inlet port downstream from a feed port means. A screw-type element is rotatably arranged in the extruder to vigorously mix and convey at least certain ingredients of the preselected formulation, including flour and oil, input through the feed port means, wherein the total water content, by weight, of the ingredients is less than a preselected amount. A temperature control means operates to heat treat the ingredients upstream from the added water inlet port during the vigorous mixing and conveyance by the screw-type element. A source of water is coupled to the added water inlet port to add a preselected amount of water to the ingredients to increase the water content and modify the consistency of the ingredients after heat treatment and vigorous mixing and conveying. The screw-type element downstream from the added water inlet port is arranged for a gentle mixing and conveyance of the ingredients and added water. In addition, a radio frequency device is coupled to the downstream end of the extruder to leaven, brown and final bake the output product.
