Abstract: A multi-row dough-portioning apparatus has a chamber housing having a number of portioning chambers for predetermining a portioned quantity of dough. Measuring pistons can each be displaced in the portioning chambers along a displacement direction between a retracted, measuring position and a pushed-out, ejecting position. A rotation-prevention bar is installed in a releasable manner on a rear wall of the chamber housing and interacts with a circumferential recess in the measuring pistons in order to prevent rotation of the same. The chamber housing has a projecting section, which projects beyond the rear housing wall. The rotation-prevention bar is installed on the chamber housing such that, upon release, it can be removed from the chamber housing in a removal direction perpendicular to the displacement direction of the measuring pistons. This results in a dough-portioning apparatus which, even in the case of large-volume portioning chambers, is easy to maintain and clean.

Each dough piece holder of the dough piece support is associated with one of the stamping punches. An opening for the associated stamping punch is configured in a dough piece holder or in each of the dough piece holders as a die. A stamping device results in which the stamping of dough rings in particular to produce doughnuts can also be used, for example, for baking by hand.

Abstract: A multiple-row dough portioning apparatus includes at least one portioning chamber to define a portioned dough quantity, at least one metering piston, which is displaceable in the portioning chamber between a retracted metering position and an extended ejection position. The dough portioning apparatus comprises a drive unit having a control component. The drive unit is configured to displace the metering piston from the metering position into the ejection position. The dough portioning apparatus is configured such that a displacement of the metering pistons takes place exclusively on account of a pressure exerted on the metering pistons by the dough. The control component is connected to all metering pistons to transmit a tensile force from the control roller to the metering pistons. The portioning chamber is accommodated in a portioning cylinder, which is pivotable between a metering pivot position and a pivoted ejection pivot position.

Abstract: A dough processing device has a support frame, a dough feed device, a dough portioning device, a dough kneading device and a dough transfer device. The latter transfers at least one dough portion from at least one portioning chamber of the dough portioning device to at least one kneading chamber of the dough kneading device during transfer time periods. An adjustment device serves for defining a vertical distance between the transfer device and the kneading chamber. This results in a dough processing machine in which a reliable transfer of dough portions from the at least one portioning chamber to the at least one kneading chamber is ensured even in the case of a high throughput.

Abstract: A system for producing a strip of dough from a strip of raw dough has a bottom pressing device and an upper pressing device with an interposed processing gap for the strip of dough. The pressing devices each have a plurality of planetary rollers that are rotatably driven about their longitudinal axes in each case. In the circumferential direction the planetary rollers are equidistantly distributed about a common central primary axis that extends parallel to the planetary longitudinal axes. The planetary rollers are jointly driveable so as to rotate about the primary axes. Each planetary roller has a middle part coming into contact with the strip of dough, and removably connected to the ends thereof and integral in rotation therewith shaft stubs. The latter are axially and radially supported on frontal head plates of the pressing devices. The dough-strip production system is easy to clean.
