  • Patent number: 4322202
    Abstract: The apparatus has an extruding means and a spreader means whereby a continuous dough sheet is formed. To preserve the "softness" within the dough and the finished cooked product the extruding means has a double feed screw housing preferably disposed side-by-side and having their outlets joined by a Y-type fitting to form a single feed conduit which is coupled to a spreader means having a downwardly distending outwardly flaring passageway. To prevent dough from sticking to the surfaces of the passageway the opposing triangular shaped surfaces are each provided with a plurality of parallel grooves oriented at an angle to the dough path travel. To ensure no separation of dough when in the sheet form, the feed conduit is provided with a twister or helical thin member which ensures the interface surface within the dough is oriented at an angle of less than 90 degrees with the elongated cross-section the spreader means.
