Abstract
A plurality of rolling rollers move sequentially upstream from downstream or downstream from upstream along the food dough belt, while each rolling roller rotates on its own axis. The moving direction of the rolling roller is changed according to technical requirements. The number of beats is regulated by changing the moving speed V1 of the rolling roller. Further, the peripheral speed of the rolling roller is made to be equal to or almost equal to the surface speed of the food dough belt by changing the rotating speed V2 of the rolling roller.
Claims7
An apparatus for beating and rolling a food dough belt conveyed between rolling members, comprising:
- a first rolling member having a plurality of rolling rollers which move in an endless orbit and which can move sequentially upstream from downstream and downstream from upstream along the food dough belt, while each rolling roller is rotating about the axis of the rolling roller,
- a second rolling member conveying the food dough belt thereon, and
- a control apparatus for controlling the speed of the movement and the speed of the rotation of the rolling rollers,
- wherein when the first rolling member moves sequentially upstream from downstream, the respective rolling rollers are controlled so as to be rotated in the reverse direction of the rotation of the second rolling member, and
- wherein when the first roller member moves sequentially downstream from upstream, the respective rolling rollers are controlled so as to be rotated in the same direction as the rotation of the second rolling member, and
- wherein the speed of the rotation of the rolling rollers can be controlled independently from the speed of the movement of the rolling rollers.
A method for beating and rolling a food dough belt which is conveyed in accordance with a plurality of rolling rollers which move in an endless orbit and which can move sequentially upstream from downstream and downstream from upstream along the food dough belt, while each rolling roller rotates about the axis of the rolling roller,
- characterized by controlling the number of beats by controlling the speed of the movement and the speed of the rotation of the rolling rollers,
- wherein when the first rolling member moves sequentially upstream from downstream, the respective rolling rollers are controlled so as to be rotated in the reverse direction of the rotation of a second rolling member for conveying the food dough belt thereon, and
- wherein when the first rolling member moves sequentially downstream from upstream, the respective rolling rollers are controlled so as to be rotated in the same direction as the rotation of the second rolling member, and
- wherein the speed of the rotation of the rolling rollers can be controlled independently from the speed of the movement of the rolling rollers.
