A counter-rotating dough making mechanism, including a drive shaft (9) that is provided with an upper dough hook assembly (1) and a lower dough hook assembly (2) is disclosed. The lower dough hook assembly (2) is preferably provided with a stir plate (3) which enhances the thorough mixing of flour during dough kneading. The upper dough hook assembly (1) and the lower dough hook assembly (2) are connected by gears (42a, 42b, 42c) so that they rotate synchronously but in the opposite direction. By the counter-rotating action of the upper dough hook assembly (1) and the lower dough hook assembly (2), the dough making process is more effective as compared to the usual single piece dough hook as used in many stand mixers. The design and construction of the disclosed counter-rotating dough making mechanism is simple, robust, and reliable, and can deliver superior performance in dough making.

A household mixer appliance having a mixing container with an inner surface and an open top, a drive arrangement and a hook. The hook has a sole attachment portion which, when attached to the drive arrangement, abuts a first inner surface portion of the mixing container inner surface. The sole attachment portion is attachable to the drive arrangement via a through hole in the first inner surface portion such that the hook is rotatable around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation within the mixing container when the hook is attached to the drive arrangement.

A household mixer appliance having an open top mixing container, a hook and a drive arrangement. The mixing container has a side wall portion with a through hole for the drive arrangement and the hook is arranged to be rotatable around an axis of rotation within the mixing container via the drive arrangement. A seal is arranged between the drive arrangement and the side wall portion of the mixing container, and the drive arrangement includes a quick-release mechanism to which the hook is attachable.

The invention relates to a method, a control and/or regulating device, a device and products as well as the use of such products. It is shown how gas-foamed products are manufactured from doughs or from pastes in an elongated process space and how the static pressure required for the gas dissolution is maintained in the process space up to the outlet opening and the foaming in the dough or in the paste is not initiated in a targeted manner under predetermined process conditions until the product exits from a metering valve device connected downstream of the process space and the pressure is reduced.

A dough mixer includes a main unit with a motor arranged therein and a dough mixing assembly mounted thereon. The dough mixing assembly includes a dough mixing bowl, a top cover, a transmission shaft connected to the motor and is arranged in the dough mixing bowl, a dough mixing unit connected to the transmission shaft and including an upper end, and a scraper unit detachably connected to the upper end of the dough mixing unit. The scraper unit includes a first bowl wall scraper including a first blade fitted to an inner wall of the dough mixing bowl, a second bowl wall scraper including a second blade fitted to the inner wall of the dough mixing bowl, wherein the second bowl wall scraper is arranged opposite to the first bowl wall scraper, and a central scraper including a third blade matched with an outer wall of the transmission shaft.

A bread machine can include a housing, a bread container, a motor, and an electromagnetic locking mechanism. The bread container can be removably disposed within the housing. The bread container can include a paddle disposed within the bread container and a magnetic plate disposed on an exterior of the bread container. The motor can be disposed in the housing and configured to rotate the paddle within the bread container. The electromagnetic locking mechanism can be disposed within the housing and can include an electromagnet. The electromagnet can be configured to selectively engage and disengage the bread container. The electromagnet can be disposed within the housing to correspond with the magnetic plate of the bread container. A method of securing a bread machine for use is also provided.

An agitator assembly for use with industrial mixers that includes at least two rotating agitators, wherein each rotating agitator includes an agitator shaft, wherein the agitator shaft defines an axis of rotation extending from a first end of the agitator shaft to a second end of the agitator shaft; and first, second, and third sweep blades mounted on the agitator shaft, wherein the pitch angle of each sweep blade relative to the axis of rotation of the agitator shaft is between 30-60; and wherein the rotating agitators rotate in opposite directions relative to one another when the assembly is in use.

A kneading device 1 comprising an inner cone 2 and an outer cone 3, wherein the inner cone 2 and the outer cone 3 defines a space 4 in between the inner cone and the outer cone; from a horizontal plane the inner cone 2 inclines and forms an angle ic; from the same horizontal plane the outer cone 3 inclines and forms an angle oc; where the inner cone 2 has an opening in a bottom of the inner cone 2; where both the inner cone 2 and the outer cone 3 continue vertically in an inner extension 5 and an outer extension 6, respectively, wherein a space in between the inner extension 5 and the outer extension 6 is a gap E; where scraping wings 7 extend from a center portion 8 of the kneading device 1 and through the inner cone 2 and the outer cone 3 and towards, but not fixated to, an inner wall 9 of the outer cone 3; and where the outer cone 3 inclines more than the inner cone 2, when viewed from the horizontal plane, so that angle oc>angle ic.

A kneading tool of a type prearranged for being mounted rotatable about an axis of rotation of a kneading machine includes: a central shaft defining a main axis; and plurality of arms transverse to said shaft, which are positioned in different orientations about the main axis and/or in different positions along said axis so as to be staggered and not overlying with respect to one another.
