Abstract
Method and device for relaxing a sheet of dough, comprising a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a supporting device disposed between the first and second conveyor belts and a vibration generator interacting with the supporting device, in which the first conveyor belt conveys the sheet of dough at a first speed of conveyance on the supporting device, the vibration generator by way of the supporting device exerts a mechanical vibration with an essentially constant frequency on the sheet of dough, and the second conveyor belt discharges the sheet of dough at a second speed of conveyance which is essentially the same as the first speed of conveyance of the supporting device.
Claims21
Method for relaxing a sheet of dough, comprising conveying the sheet of dough at a first speed of conveyance on a supporting means, generating a mechanical vibration with an essentially constant frequency and transmitting it to the supporting means, transmitting the vibration by way of the supporting means to the sheet of dough, and discharging the sheet of dough at a second speed of conveyance which is essentially the same as the first speed of conveyance of the supporting means.
Device for imparting a vibration to a sheet of dough, comprising a first means of conveyance, a second means of conveyance, a supporting means disposed between the first and second means of conveyance, and a vibration generator interacting with the supporting means, in which the first means of conveyance conveys the sheet of dough at a first speed of conveyance on the supporting means, the vibration generator by way of the supporting means exerts a mechanical vibration with substantial constant frequency in a range between 400 Hz and 4000 Hz on the sheet of dough, and the second means of conveyance discharges the sheet of dough at a second speed of conveyance, which is substantially identical to the first speed of conveyance of the first means of conveyance.
