A COMPACT APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR FAST AND CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF BAKLAVA DOUGH

摘要

A compact apparatus and method for forming a continuous and very thin sheet of composite material of dough, required by conventional food products such as baklava, rice-paper and the like. The invention consists of three stations, of a feeder-sheeter-stretching conveyor assembly arranged consecutively. 1. a feeder hopper with two initial shaping rollers. 2. three sheeting rollers that are arranged around a circular frame (19). The nip gap of sheeting rollers in the second station can be adjusted via adjustment screws. Sheeting rollers have relatively different angular speeds and specially treated surfaces. 3. a stretching conveyor assembly consisting of three conveyor belts, that are so arranged to be positioned one over the other and running at opposite directions at different relative speeds.
