Abstract: An apparatus for extruding edible paste which includes a supporting framework; a hopper for feeding paste to be extruded; at least one pair of sizing or lamination cylinders arranged in sequence downstream of the hopper; a belt conveyor which is suitable for receiving and removing the extruded and laminated paste that leaves the lamination cylinders; motor assembly for the lamination cylinders; one or more pairs of extraction and dosage elements which are arranged directly below the hopper and are suitable for extracting, in a uniform and pulsed manner, paste from the hopper to feed it to the lamination cylinders.

Abstract: A dough rolling apparatus including a conveyor belt, adapted to feed dough to be rolled or extruded, at least two lower rolling cylinders, which are arranged sequentially and rotate in the opposite direction with respect to the upper cylinder, and a drive unit for each rolling cylinder.A dough rolling method includes: supporting a sheet of dough on a conveyor belt and feeding the sheet of dough directly into a first space delimited between an upper roller and a lower input roller; rotating the upper roller and the lower input roller as the sheet of dough is fed into the first space and subsequently reducing the thickness of the sheet of dough; subsequently feeding the sheet of dough from the first space directly into a second space defined between the upper roller and a lower output roller; and rotating the upper roller and the lower output roller simultaneously as the sheet of dough is fed into the second space and subsequently further reducing the thickness of the sheet of dough.
