Abstract
A bowl for a kneading machine includes a bottom provided with an opening, a discharge device equipped with a plug, and an actuator configured for moving the plug between a position for closing the opening, in which the latter is engaged by the plug, and a position of discharge of the bowl, in which the opening is disengaged from the plug so as to be able to discharge through it the dough prepared in the machine. The actuator is a linear actuator configured for moving the plug, and cam means are configured for guiding movement of the plug along a path comprising a horizontal rectilinear stretch.
