An automated pan shaker has a central longitudinal axis and a central lateral axis. The automated pan shaker includes a shaker assembly that has a carriage assembly, a clamping assembly supported by the carriage assembly and an actuation assembly. The actuation assembly further includes an actuator post connected to the carriage assembly, a first actuator assembly that includes a first actuator linkage connected to the actuator post, and a second actuator assembly that includes a second actuator linkage connected to the actuator post. Also disclosed is a method for inducing orbital movement in a bakery pan using a plurality of offset actuation assemblies.

A chamber drum for a dough kneading device comprises a hollow drum body, a plurality of radially penetrating breakthroughs in the outer peripheral wall thereof to form a chamber for in each case one dough piece to be treated, and a surface structuring of the side walls of the breakthroughs.

A rounding device for rounding food dough is provided with a conveyance device (9) which conveys the food dough (7) and a pair of forming plates (11, 13), which, on the upper face of the conveyance device (9), are arranged so as to extend along the conveyance direction (R) of the conveyance device (9). The forming plates (11, 13) at least opposed sloped surfaces (18B, 22B). The sloped surfaces are tilted outward from the lower side to the upper side so that the gap between the sloped surfaces is narrow on the lower side and wide on the upper side. The rounding device rounds the food dough using the sloped surfaces (18B, 22B) of the pair of the forming plates (11, 13). The pair of the forming plates (11, 13) has longitudinal components which move longitudinal relative to each other in the opposite directions, and the pair of forming plates (11, 13) also has a lateral component which move relative to each other in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction so as to approach and separate from each other. The pair of forming palates (11, 13) can move along a movement path in which the distance of movement according to longitudinal components is greater that the distance of movement according to the lateral component.

Disclosed is a mechanical dough riser using a special mixing method under high pressure. The mechanical dough riser provides rise in a few minutes for the dough obtained from all kinds of flour types, low or gluten-free flours, all kinds of legumes and vegetable purees. It allows the dough embossing process to be carried out without the need for any chemical and riser support.

A device for transferring pieces of dough includes a weighing device, in which dough can be weighed into dough portions with a defined weight and/or volume and can be discharged as dough products, and a working device, by which the portioned dough products can be processed, wherein the weighing device is positioned relative to the working device such that a dough product which has been portioned by the weighing device can be transferred to the working device in a transfer region. A release device is arranged in the transfer region between the weighing device and the working device and is designed to be movable in an oscillating manner and such that dough products which are transferred from the weighing device to the working device can be brought into contact with the release device, can be discharged from the weighing device, and can be introduced into the working device.
