Mechanical forming of dough into required shape, esp. bavarian breze or pretzel - where strip of dough is moved against obstruction to form U=shaped, ends are gripped and twisted at least 180 deg. and prod. is deposited on conveyor

摘要

In a new procedure for forming a strip of dough into a required shape for baking, the dough is moved against a pillar or saddle-shaped obstruction and thereby bent into a U-shape, this shape is then gripped at the bend and at its free ends and twisted through at least 180 deg. about its longitudinal axis. Also claimed is a device for carrying out this procedure which contains dough strip former, a bending station, a twisting station and an output delivery conveyor. USE/ADVANTAGE - For mechanically forming a strip of dough into a required shape, esp. a Bavarian ''Breze'' or pretzel shape. The procedure is reliable and preserves the traditional characteristics of the prod..
