Making Thuringian dumplings automatically, first mixes dough with toasted bread cubes, then surrounds portions of mixture with plain dough from forming head

摘要

Prepared dumpling dough is mixed with toasted diced bread. The mixture is then supplied to the head (11) used to form the dumpling. At the same time, dumpling dough containing no bread cubes is supplied to the head, where it encases the mixture of dough and toasted bread cubes, hence locating it in the center of the dumpling. Preferred features: The quantity of dough/cube mixture supplied by the inner filling tube is controlled using a valve rod connected to a plunger (9). Dumpling manufacture is effected cyclically by plunger movement in the forming head.
