METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING CONTINUOUS SHEETS OF BREAD DOUGH

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for producing a continuous belt-like sheet of bread dough. The apparatus consists of a dough hopper, vertical conveyors mounted on the facing side walls of the hopper, a dough outlet provided at the bottom of the hopper, and a pair of discharging rolls constituting part of the dough outlet, facing each other, and which are rotated so as to downwardly pass the bread dough passing therebetween. The width of the outlet and the perripherial speed of the discharging rolls are controllable so that a high-quality sheet of bread dough is continuously produced, while the gel structure of the dough is maintained uninjured.
