Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a calender for crispy mooncake dough. Background Art

[0002] Puff pastry mooncake is a Mid-Autumn Festival dessert. The main ingredients are low-gluten flour and lard, the ingredients are water, and the seasoning is sugar. Puff pastry mooncake has the characteristics of crispy crust and delicate filling, so it is loved by everyone. In the production process of puff pastry mooncake, it usually goes through the steps of making puff pastry dough, making fillings, stuffing, shaping and baking. Among them, during the processing of puff pastry dough, a calender is usually used to calender small pieces of puff pastry dough so that the puff pastry dough is pressed into a pancake shape, which is convenient for subsequent stuffing processing and improves processing efficiency. However, it still has the following disadvantages in actual use:

[0003] 1. In the process of rolling the mooncake dough through the rolling machine, it is usually necessary to divide the large piece of puff pastry dough into several small pieces and then roll it; or press the large piece of puff pastry dough into large pieces of dough skin and then divide the puff pastry dough through the mold. The former requires two devices to operate separately, which increases production expenses. In the latter, the remaining puff pastry dough after division often needs to be kneaded and pressed into dough skin again to avoid waste, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will cause certain changes in the structure of the dough, resulting in reduced quality stability of the finished product.

[0004] 2. When the calender is calendering the puff pastry dough, it is often necessary to feed the dough first and then extrude and discharge the dough. It is difficult to operate the feeding and discharging of the dough synchronously, which greatly reduces the production efficiency. The calender that can operate synchronously usually has a more complex structure, which increases the production cost. Utility Model Content

[0010] By rotating the motor, the pressing roller can be driven to rotate, and the large piece of dough can be rolled through the pressing roller and the hopper, so that the dough is squeezed into the discharge pipe for further processing. After the processing is completed, the small amount of residual dough can be easily handled by turning to open the cleaning bottom cover, which reduces the difficulty of cleaning.

The pressing roller 104 will rotate to roll the dough between the pressing roller 104 and the hopper 1, so that the large piece of dough will be rolled for the first time. The rolled dough will enter the discharge pipe 103 under pressure, and enter between the limiting pressure plate 2, the replaceable limiting frame 201 and the conveyor belt 3 under pressure again. The rotation drives the dough to move between the limiting pressure plate 2, the replaceable limiting frame 201 and the conveyor belt 3. When the dough fills the space between the limiting pressure plate 2, the replaceable limiting frame 201 and the conveyor belt 3, the lifting cylinder 301 drives the hopper 1 and the limiting pressure plate 2 to move upward, and the cutting disc 207 rotates at the same time, closing the discharge pipe 103 while cutting the dough and the dough skin, so that the dough skin is separated and falls to the upper side of the conveyor belt 3 under the action of air pressure and gravity. The rotation of the conveyor belt 3 drives the puff pastry skin to move and proceed to the next step of processing.
