Method for determining a kneading state of a dough, system for monitoring the kneading state and kneading machine

A system for monitoring a kneading state for a machine for kneading a dough configured for the implementation of a method for determining the kneading state of the dough, the dough being configured to be kneaded in a kneading machine, the machine comprising a plurality of sensors configured to measure representative quantities of the dough during a kneading cycle and at least one kneading tool, the method comprising the following steps:

• continuously collecting the measurements of the representative quantities of the dough during the kneading cycle,
• determining a kneading state based on a kneading state model defined as a function of the measurements of the representative quantities, the kneading state model being defined or adapted based on a learning phase, and
• checking up the fulfillment of a kneading stop criterion based on the kneading state, the system comprising:
• a plurality of sensors configured to measure representative quantities of the dough during a kneading cycle;
• and
• an electronic control unit.
