Abstract: The present teaching relates to a device for applying scatterable material, in particular poppy or sesame, to the bottom of pieces of dough. It includes a covering belt for transporting the pieces of dough from a dough receiving point to a dough dispensing point, it being possible to receive pieces of dough not sprinkled on the bottom thereof onto the covering belt at the dough receiving point and to dispense pieces of dough sprinkled on the bottom thereof from the covering belt at the dough dispensing point. A scatterable-material unit holds and applies the scatterable material, which scatterable-material unit is arranged below the transport plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for forming a continuous strip of dough. According to the invention, it is provided that the device (10) comprises a dough chamber (2), which is defined, in sections, by a discharge belt (3) for conveying dough towards a cutting device (4) for limiting the thickness of the strip of dough, where in this case said cutting device (4) is mounted at a distance above the discharge belt (3).

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.
