ROLLER ARRANGEMENT WITH A MOVEABLE INLET SHIELD

摘要

An apparatus to form a flat rolled-out continuously conveyed dough strip has a first roller and a second roller driven in mutually opposite rotary directions. A roller nip between the first and second rollers roll out a dough strip. A terminating ring is disposed concentrically with the first roller and the first roller projects radially for lateral sealing of the roller nip. A conveying device supplies the dough strip to the inlet region of the roller nip, where a movable inlet plate provided. The inlet plate is movable by a moving device from an operating position in which the inlet plate laterally seals the inlet region of the roller nip into a maintenance position in which the inlet plate is disposed at a distance from the roller nip. A clamping device moves the inlet plate onto the second roller in the operating position.
