Abstract
A substantially horizontal, flat shovel (30), made of thin, perforated metal plate, is integral with a slide (28) which is slidable on a guide (26), itself integral with a mounting (18). The shovel is driven by an actuator (20, 22, 24, 32, 34, 36) for moving forward and backward, while staying tangent to a facing rest shelf, at either of two speeds, a slow speed and a fast speed. The mounting (18) can move to different positions facing respective processing stations (42, 44).
Claims6
A shovel device for loading and transferring sheets of dough, particularly for pizzas, from one processing station to another, characterized in that it comprises a substantially horizontal, flat shovel (30), which is slidably supported with respect to a mounting (18), and driven by actuator means (20, 22, 24, 32, 34, 36) for moving forward and backward, while staying tangent to a facing rest shelf (42), at either of two speeds, a slow speed for transferring the sheet and a fast speed for loading or unloading the sheet, respectively;
- and first motor means (12, 14, 16) for changing the linear and/or angular position of said mounting.
