  • Patent number: 7182588
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the continuous production of a strip (6) of dough from a mass (5) of dough, the width of said strip being a multiple of its thickness. The inventive device comprises at least one pair of opposite, interspaced, longitudinal guiding elements (8, 9) for guiding the dough. The dough passes through the gap (15) formed between the guiding elements and is guided by said guiding elements (8, 9), which are driven in opposing rotatory directions, from an intake end (16) of the device to an outlet end (17) of the same. At least one of the guiding elements (8, 9) is profiled on its circumference with a plurality of grooves (20) extending side by side, perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the respective guiding element (8, 9). Said grooves (20) assist the transport of the dough through the gap (15) and enable the bubbles in the dough (5) to be maintained.
