Abstract
An endless belt conveyor extends from below a rolling part formed of each roller clearance of a series of linearly arranged rolling roller devices. The conveyor is either fixed or elevatably adjustable. Each roller device is driven by one common motor to the rolling part of the next rolling roller device so that a wheat flour band advancing while being rolled, in series, by each rolling roller device may be automatically introduced into the next rolling roller device. The band may be supported in case it becomes loose while being rolled and may be automatically introduced into the rolling part of the next rolling roller device even if it breaks.
Claims6
A wheat flour band rolling apparatus, comprising:
- a. a plurality of rolling roller devices, each device comprising a driving roller opposed to it, the rollers cooperating to define a gap therebetween, the devices being linearly arranged in the direction of progressive movement of a wheat flour band,
- b. means operable to drive the driving rollers of the rolling roller devices,
- c. an endless belt conveyor disposed between adjacent rolling roller devices and extending from beneath the gap of one of the rolling roller devices to the front, as defined by the directing of movement of the band, of the gap of the other rolling roller devices,
- d. means operable to detect the tension of the wheat flour band associated with each endless belt conveyor, the detecting means sensing the tension of the band when the band is above the associated conveyor, and
- e. a plurality of means operable to adjust the speed of each rolling roller device in response to the detecting means, each one of the means being associated with one of the rolling roller devices, each adjusting means being fitted between the gap of the associated device and the conveyor associated therewith.
