Abstract
A dough mixing and kneading machine wherein a horizontal drum has a sealable inlet opening at the top and a sealable outlet opening at the bottom. One end wall of the drum is pivotable to and from an open position and carries an L-shaped tool which sweeps along its inner side and along the internal surface of the cylindrical main section of the drum when the machine is in use. The tool is coaxial with the main section of the drum and is driven by a motor which is mounted at the outer side of the pivotable end wall. A second motor drives a shaft which extends into the drum below the axis of the main section and carries several angularly offset propellers which move the constituents of dough axially and radially of the main section.
Claims21
In a machine for making and treating dough or similar substances, a combination comprising a receptacle including a substantially horizontal main section having a substantially cylindrical internal surface and two end walls at the respective axial ends of said main section, one of said end walls being movable to and from an open position to respectively afford and prevent access to the interior of said receptacle, an upper portion having a first opening for admission of the ingredients of said substances and a lower portion having a second opening for evacuation of said substances;
- means for sealing and exposing said openings;
- first and second tool means mounted in said receptacle for rotation about discrete first and second axes, one of said tool means being mounted on said one end wall and its axis coinciding with the axis of said main section in the closed position of said one end wall;
- and means for rotating said tool means about the respective axes.
A combination as defined in claim 20, wherein said rotating means comprises a prime mover mounted at the outer side of said one end wall and arranged to rotate said one tool means.
In a machine for making and treating dough or similar substances, a combination comprising a receptacle including a tubular main section, and two end walls each at one axial end of said tubular main section, at least one of said end walls being mounted on said main section for movement between an open position affording access to the interior of said receptacle, and a closed position preventing such access, said receptacle further including an upper portion having a first opening for admission of the ingredients of said substances and a lower portion having a second opening for evacuation of such substances;
- means for sealing and exposing said openings;
- first tool means mounted on said receptacle for rotation about a first axis and extending into said interior thereof;
- second tool means mounted on said one end wall for joint movement therewith between said open and closed positions and for rotation relative to said receptacle about a second axis at least in said closed position of said one end wall, said second tool means being accommodated in said interior of said receptacle in said closed position of said one end wall;
- and means for rotating said tool means about the respective axes thereof.
