Abstract
The invention relates to a winding machine (2) for dough, in particular for winding dough strips, and to a method for winding dough using such a machine (2), wherein the winding machine (2) comprises: a main body (4); a control unit; a roller (6) which is rotatably mounted on the main body (4) about a rotational axis, wherein dough strips can be wound onto the roller (6) when the winding machine (2) is in use; a motor (30) for rotationally driving the roller (6); and a pressing device (11) for pressing dough, which is rolled up on the roller (6), against the roller (6).
Claims11
Winding machine for dough comprising:
- a main body;
- a control unit;
- a first roller mounted on the main body rotatably around a rotational axis, wherein in use of the winding machine, dough strips can be wound onto the first roller by using the winding machine such that a circumferential surface of the first roller is helically wrapped with dough;
- a motor for rotationally driving the first roller;
- and
- a roller assembly including a first arm, a second arm parallel to the first arm, a second roller rotatably connected between the two arms, and a handle disposed parallel to the second roller and also connected between the two arms, the first arm being pivotably connected to the main body at a first pivot point and the second arm being pivotably connected to the main body at a second pivot point, wherein a line through the two pivot points defines a rotation axis and wherein the second roller is disposed between the rotation axis and the handle such that the handle can be used to adjust the second roller towards the first roller, for pressing the dough helically wrapped on the first roller onto the first roller;
- and
- wherein a motor shaft of the motor is detachably connected to a roller axis of the first roller.
