PROCESS AND CORRESPONDING MACHINE FOR THE PRODUCTION BY CONTINUOUS ROLLING OF A MASS OF DOUGH FOR BAKERY PRODUCTS AND BUNS AND ROLLS

摘要

The process comprises a phase in which a multiplicity of shapeless lumps of dough (1) are arranged on a moving surface (5), whereby these lumps (1) are conveyed by a system of linear movement to a second conveying unit (6), on which during a second phase, a continuous strip of dough of constant thickness (2) is obtained and during which the strip of dough is subjected intermittently and alternatively to translational and striking movements which cause a progressive compression until a continuous strip of dough (2) of reduced thickness is obtained. The machine consists of two conveyor belts (4, 6) one of them having two rotable vertical blades (8). The other belt (4) is inclined in such a way that it is nearer to the one (6) in the outlet zone and is provided with an alternating movement approaching the lower belt (6) through a connecting rod and eccentric mechanism (11, 12) which compresses the strip of dough arranged on the lower conveyor belt (6) progressively until a strip of dough of suitable thickness is obtained.
