  • Patent number: 9572350
    Abstract: A baking plate for a baking oven for producing baked products such as soft waffles, crispy wafers, pancakes and the like. The baking plate has a carrier plate and one or more baking inserts disposed thereon, which are configured for receiving the batter to be baked. The baking inserts are formed from sintered ceramic that are very sturdy and tough and have low thermal expansion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9259008
    Abstract: A hollow body is made from a flat baked wafer cake by first juxtaposing the wafer cake with a cavity of a deep-drawing mold and then forming edge regions of the cake with a plurality of deformations out of a plane of the cake at a uniformly spacing around a periphery of the cake. Then the cake is pushed by a deep-drawing punch into the cavity to it into a hollow body and to form each of the deformations into a multilayer fold.

  • Patent number: 8766148
    Abstract: A baking oven for producing baked molded products. The baking oven has an input station, a baking area and an output station. In addition, the oven has baking plates, which are arranged along a circulation path passing through the baking area, and a conveying device for the baking plates. The baking plates are in the form of susceptor plates, which can be heated inductively without contact. An induction heating device is provided in the baking area. This device includes at least one elongated inductor, which is arranged parallel to the circulation path of the baking plates and extends along the circulation path over a plurality of susceptor plates. The elongated inductor produces a large-area, broad magnetic field, which simultaneously inductively heats a plurality of baking plates in the form of susceptor plates without any contact.

  • Publication number: 20140069283
    Abstract: A baking oven has an endless baking tong chain having openable and closable baking tongs circulating in the baking oven and moving in two transport levels disposed one above the other through a baking chamber. In the front oven part, a device for opening the baking tongs, an output station, a loading station and a device for closing the baking tongs are disposed consecutively in a running direction of the baking tongs along the upper transport level. Located in the output station is a product removal apparatus having a horizontally disposed rotary framework which carries removal elements configured as suction elements disposed along its outer circumference, by way of which the rotating rotary framework removes the baked products from the opened baking tongs.

  • Patent number: 6820539
    Abstract: A charging device for a baking oven, in which the baking molds that travel through its baking line are formed by the revolving top and bottom baking plates of the oven, whose baking surfaces, which face each other along the baking line, define the top and bottom sides of the molded bodies in the baking molds. The bottom baking plates pass through an input station situated in front of the baking line in a horizontal section of their revolution. The charging device comprises a dough piece setting device in the input station above the path of the bottom baking plates, which is temporarily movable jointly with the bottom baking plates and which sets the dough pieces down at predetermined locations on the baking surfaces of the bottom baking plates.

  • Patent number: 6796301
    Abstract: A baking oven for producing baked molded bodies has a baking line that extends along a plane from an input station to an output station. The baking molds are each formed of a bottom baking plate and a top baking plate that is set down onto the top surface of the lower baking plate. The baking molds are transported through the baking line by a lower conveyor that carries the lower mold halves. An upper conveyor above the baking line transports the upper mold halves through their path of revolution above the plane of the baking line with the plates suspended and substantially horizontally aligned and with the baking surfaces always facing down. At the beginning of the baking line, the upper conveyor sets the top baking plates, which are substantially horizontally aligned, down onto the bottom baking plates for forming the baking molds, and at the end of the baking line, it lifts them from the bottom baking plates for opening the baking molds.

  • Patent number: 6227103
    Abstract: A machine for making cones from baked wafers utilizes roll-up mechanism in the form of a roll-up mandrel and a roll-up form. A multiplicity of such mechanisms is carried by a chain along an endless path. Each roll-up mechanism can have a frame on which the roll-up mandrel and roll-up form is mounted.
