Abstract
In a kneading machine including a fixed support structure, a kneading trough supported centrally for rotation about a vertical axis by the fixed support structure, and a rotary kneading tool located within the kneading trough, the kneading tool is rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis. The machine is also provided with fixed counter-members which cooperate with the kneading tool.
Claims6
A kneading machine including:
- a fixed support structure;
- a kneading trough centrally supported by said support structure for rotation about a vertical axis, and
- a rotary kneading tool located within said kneading trough,
- wherein the improvement comprises providing:
- said kneading tool with means for rotating said tool about a substantially horizontal axis, and
- said machine being further provided with fixed counter-members which comprise two arms supported in a substantially horizontal plane by a central shaft and disposed at both sides of said kneading tool, said fixed counter-members cooperating with said kneading tool to separate the dough entrained by said tool during rotation, wherein the axis of rotation of said kneading tool extends substantially radially of the vertical axis of rotation of said kneading trough.
