Abstract: A roller configuration for forming a flat, rolled-out, continuously conveyed dough strip includes at least one rotatably driven roller and a counter-body. A roller gap for conveying and rolling-out the strip of dough is provided between the roller and the counter-body. A scraper which includes a plate-shaped scraper body is tensioned or clamped on one side and is pressed against the roller in a tensioned manner with a scraper edge on the opposite side. The scraper body includes a bending region and the cross-sectional area of the scraper body in the bending region is smaller than in the region of the scraper edge.

Abstract: An apparatus to form a flat rolled-out continuously conveyed dough strip has a first roller and a second roller driven in mutually opposite rotary directions. A roller nip between the first and second rollers roll out a dough strip. A terminating ring is disposed concentrically with the first roller and the first roller projects radially for lateral sealing of the roller nip. A conveying device supplies the dough strip to the inlet region of the roller nip, where a movable inlet plate provided. The inlet plate is movable by a moving device from an operating position in which the inlet plate laterally seals the inlet region of the roller nip into a maintenance position in which the inlet plate is disposed at a distance from the roller nip. A clamping device moves the inlet plate onto the second roller in the operating position.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting and for transferring shaped bodies such as, for example, substantially non-rigid shaped bodies, for example of cookie dough, onto a transport surface.
