Apparatus for slinging a dough strand into a desired final shape, in particular for slinging a dough strand into a pretzel shape

摘要

Device (1), which is designed for looping a dough strand (4) by a Schlingvorgang in a desired final shape, in particular in a pretzel shape, wherein the device (1) has a comparison of the desired final shape predetermining a larger initial shape mold element (2) in that the dough strand (4) is capable of being slackened by stretching the dough strand length and which is subsequently removable, at least in part, so that the dough strand (4) contracts to the smaller desired final shape, and the device further comprises: (a) at least one Conveyor belt device (7), which is designed for transporting the dough strand to the mold element, wherein conveyor belt means (7) individual spaced conveyor belt areas (8) are provided which have such a distance from each other, that in the intermediate regions of form pins or mold pins (3) from below through the level of the individual conveyor belt areas (8) can pass upwards; (b) a mold element (2) comprising a plate element (14) or a table on which a plurality of mold bolts or mold pins (3) are arranged, the plate element (14) being in contact with the mold bolts or mold pins (3) Conveyor belt device (7) is movable to move the mold components for passing into the intermediate regions of the conveyor belt device (7), for the dough strand (4) to specify the larger initial shape and to keep the dough strand in a predetermined position on the transport device, wherein the mold element such is designed so that the dough strand (4) can be wrapped around the mold element (2) while the dough strand (2) is stretched in its length, wherein the mold element can also be removed from the transport device, after completion of the Schlingprozesses the mold bolts or Lowering mold pins (3) in or below a storage level of the dough strand (4), so that the dough strand (4), which in the Durc h is the form element (2) given, larger initial shape is brought together in the smaller final shape, wherein the forming bolts or mold pins (3) are adapted to each other independently for adjusting the length and width of the larger initial shape in special guides on a surface of the Plate element (14) or table displaceable or from one to another passage opening (13) and / or support opening (16) are convertible, so that the change of the predetermined by the mold element (2) form the position of at least one mold pin or mold pin (3) of the formula (2) is independently variable.
