<p>A system is disclosed for supplying a dough mixing machine (16) with flour and doses of a free-flowing solid bread improver. The system comprises a flour hopper (12) for dosing flour, the flour hopper having a hopper outlet passage through which the flour travels towards the dough mixing machine (16). The amount of flour passing through the hopper outlet passage is regulated by a hopper dose-regulating device (22), the system further comprising a dosing apparatus for supplying doses of the bread improver to the dough mixing machine. The bread improver dosing apparatus includes a driven member (38, 40) for discharging doses of the bread improver and is characterised in that the driven member is operably connected to the hopper dose-regulating device in such a manner that the doses of the bread improver supplied to the dough mixing machine are proportional to the amount of flour passing through the hopper outlet passage.</p> |
