Abstract
A device for kneading doughs and pastes consisting of a type of flour, a liquid such as water and other appropriate additives, which device consists substantially of a horizontal lying elongated trough provided with a curved bottom having standing side walls connecting thereto, and a rotatably driven mixing and kneading gear operating in the trough, wherein the mixing and kneading gear consists of at least two tubes or rods which are driven around the center line of the trough bottom and received in rotatable supports on either end of the trough, wherein the diameters of the rotating tubes or rods are practically identical and the circumscribed circle lies a short distance from the trough bottom, such that many types of dough mass can be made and the mixing and kneading gear is easy to clean.
Claims17
Device for kneading doughs and pastes consisting of flour, a liquid and appropriate additives, said device comprising:
- a horizontally elongated trough having a curved bottom around a horizontal center line, a pair of longitudinally extending standing side walls extending upwardly from the curved bottom, and opposing end walls, said curved bottom extending from one side wall to the other;
- a rotatably driven mixing and kneading gear operating in the trough, wherein the mixing and kneading gear consists of at least two horizontally elongated tubes or rods which are rotatingly driven around the horizontal center line of the trough bottom and received in rotatable supports, each rotatable support being located in a respective elongated support at an opposite longitudinal end of said trough, wherein the rotating tubes or rods have substantially the same size, and portions of the tubes or rods farthest from the horizontal center line form a circumscribed circle when rotated, and the circumscribed circle formed by said tubes or rods when driven lies a short distance from the trough bottom;
- and
- a horizontally elongated central tube or rod which is stationary relative to the trough, said central stationary tube or rod is arranged between the rotating tubes or rods and is separate from the rotating tubes or rods, said central stationary tube or rod being non-rotatably secured to said elongated supports and extending substantially the entire length of the trough in the longitudinal direction, said center line passing through said central stationary tube or rod.
Device for kneading doughs and pastes consisting of flour, a liquid and appropriate additives, said device comprising:
- a horizontally elongated trough having a curved bottom around a horizontal center line, a pair of longitudinally extending standing side walls extending upwardly from the curved bottom, and opposing end walls, said curved bottom extending from one side wall to the other;
- a rotatably driven mixing and kneading gear operating in the trough, wherein the mixing and kneading gear consists of at least two horizontally elongated tubes or rods which are rotatingly driven around the horizontal center line of the trough bottom and received in rotatable supports located on opposite longitudinal ends of said trough, wherein the rotating tubes or rods have substantially the same size, and portions of the tubes or rods farthest from the horizontal center line form a circumscribed circle when rotated, and the circumscribed circle formed by said tubes or rods when driven lies a short distance from the trough bottom;
- and
- wherein the mixing and kneading gear and the trough are accommodated in a common main frame, said device further having a moving device that vertically moves the mixing and kneading gear and the trough relative to each other for separation therebetween, said end walls of said trough being pivotally coupled to said frame for permitting pivotal movement between the trough and frame and for restraining the trough against horizontal movement relative to said mixing and kneading gear when said trough is vertically moved away from the mixing and kneading gear.
