Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for stretching and thinning dough. This apparatus consists of a plurality of conveyors 2,3, which are disposed in series so that the traveling speed of the downstream conveyor 3 is higher than that of the upstream conveyor 2, a roller 5 that reciprocates over a given distance 1.sub.2 transverse to the traveling direction of the dough, while reciprocating over a given distance 1.sub.1 in the traveling direction, and a roller 4 that reciprocates over a given distance 1.sub.1 in the traveling direction in synchronism with the transverse roller. The number of reciprocating strokes and the speed of both rollers are regulated to obtain a sheet of high quality dough with a uniform texture.
Claims3
An apparatus for stretching dough comprising:
- a plurality of conveyors disposed in series so that a first conveying speed of a downstream conveyor is higher than a second conveying speed of an upstream conveyor, the dough being conveyed from the upstream conveyor to the downstream conveyor in a traveling direction;
- and
- a roller rotatably disposed on an axis and disposed adjacent the plurality of conveyors, the axis being aligned parallel to the traveling direction of the plurality of conveyors wherein the roller reciprocates over a first given distance in a direction lateral to the traveling direction while reciprocating over a second given distance in the traveling direction.
