METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPENING AND CLOSING BAKING MOLDS FOR USE IN A CONTINUOUS OVEN

摘要

A method for manufacturing products in a series of baking molds to be passed through an oven, which baking molds comprise at least two baking sections movable relative to each other, wherein in a baking cycle the baking mold is successively opened, filled, closed and locked in a closing station, guided along a number of guideways extending through the oven, and opened and emptied in a removal station. At least a part of the movements of the baking sections relative to each other are controlled by actuator means which are movable relative to the baking mold under active control, which for the purpose of controlling the movements of the baking sections relative to each other transmit to the baking sections a force directed in the closing direction.
