Dough scaler

摘要

An improved dough scaler for preshaping and cutting a predetermined amount of dough comprising: a dough pressure chamber; a movable pressure plate slidably engaging the upper end of pressure chamber for compressing the dough; equalizing compression springs connected between the pressure plate and the pressure chamber to maintain constant dough pressure throughout the chamber; switching means to control the proper amount of dough pressure for the dough to be extruded through sizing ports on an extrusion plate mounted at the lower end of the pressure chamber; and valve-like cutting means connected to the extrusion plate to cut the extruded dough to the proper size. Consistent dough quality, size, and shape are produced at a rapid rate with a fewer number of intermediate operational steps.
