A device for kneading dough, in particular a kneading drum, has a rotationally driven inner kneading drum and a rotationally driven outer kneading drum. The inner kneading drum is arranged within the hollow outer kneading drum, in particular in a concentric. The device includes a kneading drive, by means of which the inner kneading drum can be driven or adjusted in an oscillating manner in the direction of the inner kneading drum axis relative to the outer kneading drum and/or so as to carry out a defined deflection at an angle about the axis of the inner kneading drum relative to the outer kneading. The outer kneading drum has a number of kneading recesses which are distributed over the circumference and/or along the length of the outer kneading drum in a uniform manner in.

A system to make a bread loaf includes means for moving continuously pans along a predetermined path, each pan including at least one cavity sized and configured for making a bread loaf. Means conditioning continuously a batch of unconditioned dough reduces the size of air pockets therein to form a conditioned dough. Means continuously extrude the batch of conditioned dough at a controlled volumetric feed rate and at a controlled pressure to provide a constant stream of conditioned dough that is continuously cut into individual packets. The entire batch is converted into individual packets of conditioned dough corresponding to a predetermined number of bread loaves to be produced from the batch, with all the packets deposited individually in cavities of the pans.

An automated pan shaker has a central longitudinal axis and a central lateral axis. The automated pan shaker includes a shaker assembly that is configured to induce a plurality of modes of movement in the baker pan. The pan shaker assembly includes a carriage assembly, a clamping assembly supported by the carriage assembly and an actuation assembly. The carriage assembly resides below the conveyor belt of the automated pan shaker. 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.

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 method for weighing and transporting dough includes a weighing device having a weighing pusher which can be moved back and forth controllably in an output channel. A dough drum can be rotated or pivoted around its axis, having at least one receiving chamber for receiving dough and, in each receiving chamber, a weighing pad linearly guided in the receiving chamber in the radial direction of the dough drum and adjusted in the receiving chamber by an adjusting device. A kneading drum has a number of kneading chambers distributed uniformly around the periphery of the kneading drum.

A transfer apparatus for transferring a dough piece from a first processing station to the next, especially from a dough portioning device to a dough kneading device, includes a rotating dropping roller and a scraper. The rotating dropping roller is configured to release the dough piece from the first processing station. The scraper is associated with the dropping roller and is configured to support the dough piece released from the dropping roller. An oiling device is associated with the dropping roller and is configured to apply oil onto an outside surface of the dropping roller.
