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. The apparatus for transporting the shaped bodies includes a revolving driven conveyor belt which is guided around at least one deflecting roller, a guide roller and in the region of the transport surface around a transfer body mounted laterally on a machine frame. An adjusting device is provided for variation and adaptation of the bending line of the transfer body.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for transporting shaped bodies such as, for example, substantially non-rigid, biscuit dough shaped bodies, from a receiving region into a transfer region, and for transferring the shaped bodies onto a transport surface such as, for example, a heated baking belt of a baking machine. The apparatus for transporting the shaped bodies includes a revolving driven conveyor belt which is guided over at least one deflecting roller, over a drive roller and around a transfer body in the region of the transport surface. The conveyor belt is laterally displaceable by a positioning apparatus at least over a section of its longitudinal extension.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a flat-rolled continuously conveyed dough sheet has an upper roller and a lower roller. The upper roller is driven rotationally about a first axis of rotation and the lower roller is driven rotationally about a second axis of rotation. The direction of rotation of the upper roller is opposite to the direction of rotation of the lower roller. A roll nip is formed between the upper roller and the lower roller for guiding therethrough and rolling out the dough sheet. The rollers have a configuration which favors resting of the dough sheet on the lower roller and the axes of rotation of the two rollers can be inclined relative to one another.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting and for transferring substantially non-rigid cookie shaped bodies onto a heated surface such as, for example, a baking belt of a cookie (biscuit) baking machine. The apparatus has a circulating, driven belt-shaped conveyor belt, which is guided around at least one deflecting roller, around a drive roller and, in the vicinity of the heated surface, around a transfer edge. The conveyor belt is a discontinuous belt, in particular a discontinuous metal belt, and the conveyor belt is substantially resistance-strain relieved at the starting region of the transfer edge when the conveyor belt is moving.

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.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming a dough strand from a preferably large-volume dough mixture (28) has a receptacle (2) for holding this dough mixture, which is provided at the bottom with a discharge opening (4) for the dough. Connected to this discharge opening are two shafts (6) arranged so as to be parallel to one another and driven in opposite directions in order to effect a downward movement of the dough. The shafts (6) are provided with profiles acting on the dough which are formed by star arms (5). The shafts (6) are arranged so as to be fixed and are driven in a timed manner for the rotary movement. The star arms (5), of which there is an even number for each shaft (6), in the position directed towards one another block the downward flow of dough therethrough over the major part of the axial length of the shaft (6).

Abstract: An apparatus for mechanically processing the surface of a piece of dough comprises a pressure body (6) provided with at least one depression (5) for receiving the dough piece (3) to be processed that is put in by a put-in means (2) at a put-in location (4) into the depression (5). At a processing location (9) that is spatially offset with respect to the put-in location (4), a tool (20) is disposed in a framework (1) for up and down motion, which tool processes the dough piece (3) disposed within the depression (5). The processed dough pieces (3) are put off by the pressure body (6) at a delivery location (40) onto a rest means (33). The pressure body (6) is bearingly supported for rotation around its longitudinal axis on a pressure body carrier (42) separated from the put-in means (2). By the pressure body carrier (42), the pressure body (6) is displaceable to-and-fro between the put-in location (4) and the processing location (9). The delivery location (40) is disposed in the zone of this to-and-fro motion.
