[0063] Comparative Example 1

[0064] The difference between this Comparative Example 1 and Embodiment 1 is that: the width W of the spiral blade of the integral screw is set to 50 mm, and the pitch D (center distance) between two adjacent spiral blades is set to 300 mm.

[0065] The equipment in Comparative Example 1 was used to knead the Sachima dough. The kneading speed of the Sachima dough was too fast, the Sachima dough moved quickly, had a small contact area, could not meet the kneading effect, and at the same time, the feeding was not smooth. The puffing effect of the Sachima dough after frying was not good.

[0066] Comparative Example 2

[0067] The difference between this Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that: the width W of the spiral blade of the integral screw is set to 160 mm, and the pitch D (center distance) between two adjacent spiral blades is set to 150 mm.

[0068] The equipment in Comparative Example 2 was used to knead the Sachima dough. The contact time during the kneading of the Sachima dough was short, the kneading effect could not be met, and the puffing effect of the Sachima dough after frying was not good.

[0069] Comparative Example 3

[0070] The difference between this Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that: a segmented screw was used for kneading. The segmented screw was respectively provided with spiral blades for pushing, kneading, and reverse pushing. Among them, the width of the spiral blade was 25 mm, the pitch between two adjacent spiral blades was 150 mm, two spiral blades were used for pushing, three-segment blades were used for kneading, and 1.5 blades were used for reverse pushing during discharging.

[0071] The equipment in Comparative Example 3 was used to knead the Sachima dough. The kneading speed of the Sachima dough was too fast, the Sachima dough moved quickly, had a small contact area, could not meet the kneading effect, and at the same time, the Sachima dough would stick to the screw and the feeding was not smooth.

[0072] It can be seen that the Sachima automatic continuous dough kneading equipment in Embodiments 1-3 of the present invention uses an integral screw, and reasonably sets the width of the spiral blade of the integral screw and the pitch between two adjacent spiral blades. Compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, the equipment designed by the present invention has a very good kneading effect on the Sachima dough, kneads the dough evenly and the feeding is smooth, and the puffing effect of the Sachima dough after kneading and frying is better.
