Abstract
Dough (10) should, in a volumetric sense, be measured in dough pieces, which during extended use, must very precisely take place. The improved measuring device can be built in dough dividers and gives, through the specific piston construction (3) with connected parts, an amazing result. In the sidewall of the piston an annular-shaped recess (20) is provided and in which a filter (21) is fitted. To the recess (20) a crosswise channel system (15) with a bore (16) is fitted, which is connected to a flexible suction/press hose (17).
