Abstract: The present teaching relates to a method for forming rings from dough or other masses. A mass portion is positioned into a forming device on an abutment under a pressing device, wherein the pressing device has a centering ring, a displacement rod, a cut-out ring and a press ram. The centering ring is placed on the abutment, wherein the mass portion is laterally enclosed by means of the centering ring and is pressed by means of the press ram against the abutment into an approximately cylindrical form with a uniform thickness. A core hole is made in the mass portion by means of the displacement rod, so that a thin core of the mass portion remains between the abutment and the displacement rod. The core is punched out by the cut-out ring, and the press ram is lifted off the mass portion formed into a ring.

Abstract: A device for kneading dough, in particular a kneading drum, has a rotationally driven inner kneading drum and a rotationally driven outer kneading drum. The inner kneading drum is arranged within the hollow outer kneading drum, in particular in a concentric. The device includes a kneading drive, by means of which the inner kneading drum can be driven or adjusted in an oscillating manner in the direction of the inner kneading drum axis relative to the outer kneading drum and/or so as to carry out a defined deflection at an angle about the axis of the inner kneading drum relative to the outer kneading. The outer kneading drum has a number of kneading recesses which are distributed over the circumference and/or along the length of the outer kneading drum in a uniform manner in.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to a device for shaping multiple dough strip strands including a dough feeding device by means of which dough can be introduced into the device. It has at least two shaping rolls that can be rotated about the axes thereof, at least one discharge roll that can be rotated about the axis thereof, and at least one drive by means of which the shaping rolls and/or the discharge roll can be driven about their axes. The axes of the shaping rolls and of the discharge roll are arranged parallel to and at a distance from each other and a dough chamber is formed between the shaping rolls and the discharge roll. The device has two side covers, which delimit the dough chamber laterally, in particular at the end of the shaping rolls and the discharge roll.

Abstract: A working system for working pieces of dough, including: at least one working cup, each having an opening, a receiving space for receiving pieces of dough and a working insert, the working insert delimiting the receiving space on the side of the receiving space remote from the opening; an abutment, which is arranged opposite the opening of the working cup; a height adjustment device, which is designed to reversibly, in particular mechanically, electromechanically, pneumatically or hydraulically, move the at least one working cup from a starting position remote from the abutment to a working position near the abutment; and a drive unit, which is designed to set the at least one working cup into oscillating motion. Each of the at least one working cups has a pressure cylinder having a pressure piston that can move in the pressure cylinder. A pressure control unit is pressure-transmittingly connected to the pressure cylinder.

Abstract: A device for forming a dough strip, including a dough supply device, by means of which dough can be introduced into the device, a draw-in roller which can be rotated about its axis, a forming roller which can be rotated about its axis, a discharge roller which can be rotated about its axis, and at least one drive, by means of which the draw-in roller and/or the forming roller and/or the discharge roller can be driven. The axes of the draw-in roller, the forming roller, and the discharge roller are arranged parallel to one another in a mutually spaced manner, and a dough chamber is formed between the draw-in roller, the forming roller, and the discharge roller. The device has two cover shields which laterally delimit the dough chamber, in particular on the end faces of the draw-in roller, the forming roller, and the discharge roller.

Abstract: A method for weighing and transporting dough includes a weighing device having a weighing pusher which can be moved back and forth controllably in an output channel. A dough drum can be rotated or pivoted around its axis, having at least one receiving chamber for receiving dough and, in each receiving chamber, a weighing pad linearly guided in the receiving chamber in the radial direction of the dough drum and adjusted in the receiving chamber by an adjusting device. A kneading drum has a number of kneading chambers distributed uniformly around the periphery of the kneading drum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the dough-saving production of a dough strand (28) from a dough mass (6) found in a container (5), for which the container (5) has an outlet (27) at the bottom. The container (5) is made to rotate about its axis (7). The outlet (27) is edged by the container (5) and by a cutting disk (13) forming at least a part of the base of the container (5). The cutting disk (13) is also made to rotate in the same direction as the container (5).

Abstract: A cellular roller for portioning dough, is provided. The cellular roller comprises a plurality of impeller blades radially extending from a central axis of rotation and having a blade surface made of dough-repellent plastic, which impeller blades between one another define portioning chambers that are open on the outside, wherein each impeller blade at the open blade end thereof is provided with a reinforcement strip made of an abrasion-resistant material.

Abstract: An apparatus for portioning and kneading of dough has a drum (2) stepwisely rotatable around a horizontal axis (3) within a framework (1) by a main drive means (5) and provided on its periphery with receiving openings (4) for the dough portions to be kneaded. The dough portions are pressed-in into the receiving openings (4) at a portioning location (6) of the drum periphery by a pressing-in means (8). Further, a kneading means (23) is disposed at a kneading location (22) that is staggered with respect to the portioning location (6) in peripheral direction of the drum (2). Within each receiving opening (4) a piston (35) is moveable in radial direction of the drum (2) by a curved restricted guidance (38). The restricted guidance (38) can be rotated relative to the drum (2) by a drive means at least in the faces of stillstand of the drum motion and comprises two members (52, 53) adjustable relative to each other.
