Abstract
Method and assembly for making dough products built up from a batter, such as pancakes. In the method use is made of a conveyor including a heatable carrier on which the pancakes to be made are conveyed, and with a first food jet printer. The method comprises the steps of: applying a layer of cooking oil (or a comparable shortening) on the carrier, and the first food jet printer applying a quantity of pancake batter on the layer of cooking oil applied on the carrier, wherein the carrier is moved with respect to the food jet printer by the conveyor, and wherein the food jet printer dispenses a preset quantity of pancake batter per position on the carrier.
Claims20
Method for manufacturing dough products by depositing a batter on a heatable carrier, in which method use is made of a conveyor including the heatable carrier on which the dough products to be made are conveyed, and with a first food jet printer comprising a number of adjacently placed individually controllable apertures, which method comprises the steps of:
- applying a layer of cooking oil (or a comparable shortening) on the carrier, and
- the first food jet printer applying a quantity of batter on the layer of cooking oil applied on the carrier, wherein the carrier is moved with respect to the food jet printer by the conveyor, and wherein the food jet printer for making at least one of the dough products discharges a series of drops of the batter from the number of apertures according to a preset pattern, wherein at least a part of the dough product to be made is built up from drops coming from several apertures of the number of individually controllable apertures.
Assembly for baking dough products, comprising:
- a conveyor having a heatable carrier on which the dough products to be made are conveyed,
- a first food jet printer placed over the conveyor, wherein the food jet printer is provided with a number of adjacently placed apertures for dispensing drops of a batter, wherein substantially each aperture of the food jet printer is individually controllable for ejecting or not ejecting drops of batter, and
- a control unit for controlling at least the food jet printer for making at least one of the dough products by dispensing a series of drops of the batter from the number of apertures according to a preset pattern on the carrier, wherein at least a part of the dough product to be made is built up from drops coming from several apertures of the number of apertures.
