APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCING AT A CONSTANT FLOW RATE A STRIP OF DOUGH OF CONSTANT DIMENSIONS

摘要

An apparatus for continuously producing a strip of dough which is quantified in its flow rate and controlled in its dimensions while the dough is conveyed. The apparatus comprises a dough feed conveyor having a weighing device, a constant speed conveyor provided thereon, a dough defining means, and a roller mechanism disposed over both the two conveyors and having an endless roller pass with a straight portion facing the conveyors. The dough fed between the roller mechanism and the two conveyors is thickened or stretched in response to the speed difference of the two conveyors, so as to make a dough strip of uniform thickness and width, without imparting stirring force to the dough.
