摘要:
An apparatus for transporting a dough sheet is provided. It has a centering apparatus for aligning the center of a dough sheet that is being fed with the center of the transporting apparatus. The centering apparatus includes a supporting member to support the dough sheet, sensors located at the supporting member to sense the side edges of the dough sheet, and an apparatus for shifting the dough sheet right or left relative to the transporting direction based on the results of the detection by the sensors.

An apparatus and process for manually portioning pizza dough disks having a calibrated volume and suitable for mechanical final spreading. The apparatus includes a support member fastened to a base plate, a circular lower plate arranged in a substantially horizontal configuration onto which the dough is to be placed, and a circular upper plate arranged in a substantially horizontal configuration coaxial with the circular lower plate and having of a diameter substantially equal to a diameter of the circular lower plate. A device for moving the circular lower and upper plate towards each other to a predetermined final distance which corresponds to a desired thickness of a dough disk is provided, as well as a cutting element having a sleeve with a cutting edge for removal of excessive dough emerging radially from an annular space between the circular lower and upper plates, and a moving mechanism for axially moving the sleeve relative to the circular lower and upper plate. The cutting edge cuts excessive dough emerging radially from the annular space between the circular lower and upper plate. The method includes placing a ball of pizza dough of a volume greater than a desired final volume onto the circular lower plate, moving the circular upper plate and the circular lower plate toward each other until the dough ball is pressed into the annular space between the circular lower plate and upper plate, and moving the sleeve of the cutting element to cut off a ring of excessive dough which emerges radially from the annular space between the two plates.

A dough pre-sheeting system within a food processing system having a receptacle for receiving dough and an extrusion die with an elongated-slot die opening. Dough is pressure fed from the receptacle through the elongated-slot die opening preferably by multiple augers, and emerges from the extrusion die as a continuous sheet having a generally uniform thickness. The continuous sheet of dough is then received by sheeter rollers for further sheeting and thickness reduction. Additionally, a method of pre-sheeting dough utilizes the dough pre-sheeting system described above for extruding a first continuous sheet of dough which is subsequently received by the sheeter rollers for further sheeting.

This invention concerns a dough piece moulder comprising a dough piece sheeting station (20), a station transporting (14,16) sheeted dough pieces along an outgoing path, from the infeed (18) of the transproting station (14,16), located opposite the sheeting station (20) up to an intermediate point, through a station rolling (24) sheeted dough pieces and a return path, through a station shaping rolled dough pieces by elongating them, from the intermediate point up to the outlet of the transporting station located in the proximity of the infeed (18) and whereat the shaped dough pieces are delivered outside the moulder; a transfer station (46) arranged in the proximity of the intermediate point, actively transferring the rolled dough pieces from the outgoing path to the return path.

A hamburger patty making system including a housing having a central aperture extending therethrough. The housing has a channel extending inwardly thereof in communication with the central aperture. A press is coupled with respect to the housing. The press includes a handle portion having a first end and a second end. The first end is hingedly coupled with the housing. The press includes an upper container portion disposed over the central aperture of the housing in a lowered orientation. A lower container portion is removably received within the central aperture of the housing. The lower container portion includes a cup portion adapted for being seated within the central aperture. The cup portion has an open upper end and a closed lower end. The closed lower end has a central opening therethrough. A piston is removably coupled with respect to the lower container portion. The piston includes an upper circular plate. The plate is seated on the closed lower end of the cup portion. A lever couples with the piston to facilitate raising and lowering thereof with respect to the upper container portion.
摘要:
A tortilla forming machine for molding dough into a tortilla shell having a top, a bottom, a peripheral edge, and a thickness. The forming machine includes a first member having a first forming surface, a second member having a second forming surface moveable toward and away from the first forming surface, and at least one removable sizing ring. The sizing ring includes a first edge and an opposing second edge, an inner surface and a height defining a cavity between the first and second forming surfaces when the first forming surface is adjacent the first edge and the second forming surface is adjacent the second edge such that the inner surface of the ring forms the peripheral edge of the tortilla shell and the height of the ring forms the thickness of the tortilla shell.
