DEVICE FOR DOUGH ROLLING AND DOUGH RIBBON PRODUCTION FROM DOUGH (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A21C3/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: device contains a frame whereon an upper and a lower pairs of rollers are installed. Each rollers pair has an own drive for this pair rollers rotation in opposite directions. A pendulum with a projection and a supporting caster is installed on the frame between the upper and the lower pairs of rollers by means of an axle. A dough ribbon position sensor triggering in case of the ribbon tension is attached to the frame on one side of the pendulum. A ribbon position sensor triggering in case of the dough ribbon sagging and deviation from the preset position is attached to the frame on the other side of the pendulum. The pendulum projection is located so that to enable interaction with the sensors. An adjustable gap is formed between each pair of the rollers. The lower pair of rollers is shifted to one side relative to the upper pair of rollers. Each dough ribbon position sensor is connected to the device operation control unit connected to the drive for rotation of the upper pair of rollers. According to another version, the device is equipped with a dough ribbon position sensor located under the pendulum so that to enable interaction with the pendulum projection in case of the dough ribbon sagging and its maximum deviation from the preset position. According to the third version, the device is equipped with a dough ribbon position sensor located under the pendulum so that to enable interaction with the pendulum projection in case of maximum allowable tension of the dough ribbon and its deviation from the preset position as well as with a counterweight attached on the pendulum.

EFFECT: invention allows to enhance the device reliability and dough ribbon production quality, approximate the rolling process to the traditional manual process where the rolling quality, the ribbon strength, homogeneity and elasticity are achieved.
