Abstract
For producing coiled bakery products, a nozzle arrangement (10) comprises an inner nozzle (14), which is disposed coaxially with an axis of rotation (26), and an outer nozzle (18, 19), which is disposed axially offset relative to said inner nozzle (14), wherein the outer nozzle (14) is rotatable about the axis of rotation (26).
Claims9
Nozzle carrier having a nozzle arrangement for extruding doughy substances, comprising
- an axis of rotation (26),
- an inner nozzle (14), which is disposed coaxially with said axis of rotation (26) and has a mouth (16) for extruding an inner substance (56), and
- two outer nozzles (18, 19), which are disposed axially offset relative to said inner nozzle (14) and are rotatable about said axis of rotation (26) and each have a mouth (20;
- 21) for extruding an outer substance (58, 59), wherein
- the nozzle carrier (10) comprises two parts, which are rotatable relative to one another, namely
- a stator, in which an inner feed channel (22) as well as a first (24) and a second outer feed channel (25) are formed, and
- a rotor, which carries the nozzles (14, 18, 19), is first rotatably supported in said stator and contains a first connection channel (62), which connects said inner feed channel (22) to said inner nozzle (14), characterized in that
- in at least one of the said parts, which are rotatable relative to one another, a first annular space (28) and in the rotor a second connection channel (63) are formed, which connect the first outer feed channel (24) to the first outer nozzle (18), and a second annular space (29) is formed, which connects the second outer feed channel (25) to the second outer nozzle (19).
