Kneading apparatus for kneading and mixing dough

Abstract

The invention relates to a kneading apparatus (2) for kneading and mixing dough, having a kneading chamber (6) which is bounded on the reverse side at least in regions by a wall (4) and which has a discharge opening (8) for discharging the kneaded dough from the kneading chamber (6) and an input region (10), which is arranged on that side of the kneading chamber (6) which is averted from the discharge opening (8), for filling the kneading chamber (6) with dough which is to be kneaded. The kneading apparatus has at least two shafts (12, 14) to which tools (18, 22) which are arranged in the kneading chamber (6) are fixed, wherein at least one of the tools (12, 14) is designed to convey dough from the input region (10), in the conveying direction (20), to the discharge opening (8). The rotation speeds of the two motor-driven shafts (12, 14) can be set and changed separately from one another with the aid of a control means (16). The two shafts (12, 14) are fitted with tools (18, 22) in a different manner from each other in such a way that the conveying action of all the tools (22) of the first shaft (12) in the form of a volume flow of the dough contained in the kneading chamber (6) in the conveying direction (20) and / or the kneading action of all the tools (22) of the first shaft (12) in the form of a volume flow of the dough contained in the kneading chamber (6) in the direction of the tools (18) of the other shaft (14) differs from the conveying action and / or the kneading action of all the tools (18) of the second shaft (14) given the same rotation speed of the shafts (12, 14) in each case. In this case, the first shaft (12) and the tools (22) which are fixed to said first shaft are arranged within an imaginary cylindrical casing (24) on which the inner edges (26), which face the first shaft (12), of the tools (18) which are fixed to the second shaft (14) run during rotation about the axis (28) of the second shaft (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a kneading device for kneading and mixing a paste, which has a kneading chamber delimited at least partially by walls on the peripheral side, the kneading chamber has a kneading chamber for kneading the kneaded paste from the kneaded A discharge opening for the discharge of the chamber and a filling zone arranged on the side of the kneading chamber facing away from the discharge opening serve to fill the kneading chamber with paste to be kneaded. Furthermore, the kneading device comprises at least two shafts, on which are fixed tools arranged in the kneading chamber, wherein one of the tools is configured to push the paste from the charging zone in the conveying direction towards the row export delivery. Background technique [0002] Such kneading devices are known in food technology as so-called metered kneaders for making pastes. The kneading chamber is here formed by a kneading trough in which two shafts equipped with knea...

Problems solved by technology

However, the kneading device has the disadvantage that on the one hand the kneading action of the device and on the other hand the conveying effect in the form of a volume flow of the paste in the conveying direction can only be changed separately from one another by the kneading tool Replacement of kneading tools, other kneading tools transport the paste more quickly, for example in the direction of delivery, towards the outlet

However, the structure of this device is very complex
