Abstract: A baking apparatus produces endless strips of preferably liquid baking compounds on a baking surface carrier circulating in a machine frame, being heated at least in sections and transporting at least one endless baking surface through at least one baking zone disposed in a stationary manner in the machine frame. The baking zone contains a heating apparatus and extends from a baking compound application device as far as a strip removal apparatus. A rotatably mounted and driven hubless drum is provided as the circulating heated baking surface carrier. A follower roller is disposed pivotably about a steering axle and rolls on a rolling surface of the drum in a contact region. A tracking distance is provided between a point of intersection of the steering axle with the rolling surface and the contact region.

Abstract: A baking machine includes a winding device (1) for the continuous production of edible wafer rolls provided on the inside with an edible substance. The winding device has a mandrel (2) with a cylindrical winding wall (6) having an exterior winding surface (7) which is adapted for abutment and for rolling of a warm plastically deformable wafer strip and by dint of which, during operation, heat transfer takes place due to the abutment of the wafer strip. An interior of the cylindrical winding wall (6) defines a substance channel (8) for introducing the edible substance into an interior of the wafer roll, and at least one temperature-control channel (9) for guiding a temperature-control medium therethrough. The temperature-control channel (9) extends from a mounted portion (3) of the mandrel (2) into a projecting portion (4) of the mandrel (2) and back again into the mounted portion (3) of the mandrel (2).
