A rotor for a kneading machine for alimentary doughs is provided. The rotor has a flat base formed of a plurality of arms and a plurality of mixing paddles restrained to the arms. The mixing paddles are pivotally mounted on the arms about respective axes (E, F) that are parallel to the flat base. The arms are movable between a first operating position, wherein they extend from the arms along a direction (V) that is generally perpendicular to the flat base, and a second operating position, wherein they extend from the arms in opposite directions substantially parallel to the flat base. When the rotor is mounted in a kneading machine, its paddles are proximate to a bottom of the container of the machine in the second operating position, thus acting to separate the dough.

A gear box for a reciprocating kneader. A primary rotational gear is attached to a gear box primary shaft and rotates in concert therewith. A secondary rotational gear is engaged with the primary rotation gear and rotates therewith. A secondary shaft is attached to the secondary rotational gear and rotates therewith. A primary oscillation gear is attached to the gear box primary shaft and rotates therewith. A secondary oscillation gear is rotationally engaged with the primary oscillation gear and rotates on the secondary shaft. An eccentric is coupled to the secondary oscillation gear and rotates in concert therewith. A yoke is engaged with the eccentric and oscillates on an axis perpendicular to the secondary shaft in response to the lobe. The gearbox secondary shaft moves along its axis in concert with yoke oscillation. A housing is pivotally attached to the yoke and pivotally attached to a casing at a casing.

A kneading machine for use in the processing of food dough, to be used in bakeries, breadstick factories, and the pastry and confectionery industry as well as for domestic use. The kneading machine is of the mechanical arm type wherein the kneading tool (10) completes a trajectory which extends more than half and up to the entire diameter of the tub (V) containing the dough. The working end or terminal part of the kneading tool includes a shaped kneading implement (9) immersed in the mass of dough (P) both in the outward travel and in the return travel and acts on the entire mass of dough.

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 kneader machine for alimentary doughs including a container provided with a tight lid and a rotor rotatably arranged in the container about a vertical rotation axis (A), wherein the rotor has a flat base consisting of a plurality of arms and a plurality of mixing paddles which extend from the arms in a vertical direction (V), and wherein the arms of the rotor have beveled surfaces formed along their peripheries on the sides intended to face a rotation direction of rotation (R) of the rotor. The mixing paddles have first and second mixing paddles configured so as to generate between them a whirling motion of the particles of the solid ingredients on a plane (P) passing through the rotation axis (A) of the rotor and perpendicular to its base. The invention also relates to a method of making an alimentary dough by using the kneader machine.

A household mixer appliance having a mixing container and a hook with a curved elongated portion. The hook is attachable to a drive arrangement via a through hole in a first inner surface portion of the mixing container such that the hook is rotatable around an axis of rotation within the mixing container. The curved elongated portion extends in a first direction, being downwards from the axis of rotation, substantially in parallel with the first inner surface portion of the mixing container, and at least a part of the curved elongated portion extends in a second direction, forming an angle with a first plane defined by the first direction and the axis of rotation.

A cooling jacket for use with an industrial mixer that includes a bowl sheet, including a first horizontal rail mounted lengthwise across the top portion of the rear section of the bowl sheet; a second horizontal rail mounted lengthwise across the top portion of the front section of the bowl sheet; a plurality of vertical rails mounted on the rear section of the bowl sheet in a staggered pattern; a plurality of vertical rails mounted on the front section of the bowl sheet in a staggered pattern; a plurality of horizontal rails mounted across the bottom edge of the bowl sheet, wherein each rail is mounted between and perpendicular to certain of the vertical rails on the rear and front sections of the bowl sheet; wherein the first and second horizontal rails, vertical rails, and horizontal rails define a first coolant channel on the rear section of the bowl sheet and a second coolant channel of the front surface of the bowl sheet; and a plurality of channel covers mounted to the various vertical rails for enclosing the coolant channels.

An machine for kneading and extruding pasta, having a machine body, which includes an electric gear motor having an output shaft with horizontal axis, a transmission from the output shaft to a driven shaft with horizontal axis and parallel to the axis of the output shaft and coaxial to a shaft of a kneading reel, projecting externally to the machine body in a dough forming tank, having below and parallel to the shaft of the kneading reel an extrusion channel, in which there is a worm screw that feeds an extrusion for forming pasta, wherein the machine body includes a load-bearing frame, including a sheet metal plate bent substantially 90 to provide a horizontal base, fixed with respect to a support on the table, and a vertical wall, on which the dough forming tank is fixed, and an inner reinforcement having first plate support, including a first vertical plate, which is fixed with respect to the horizontal base, parallel to and spaced from the vertical wall, a second plate support, including a second vertical plate, which is fixed to the inner face of the vertical wall, and a bearing for supporting and sustaining the output shaft and the driven shaft with respect to the first and second plate.

The invention discloses a dough kneading machine, including a main body on which a dough kneading component is mounted; the dough kneading component comprises a dough kneading bowl with a cover, in which a dough kneading drive shaft is set passing through a mounting hole on the bottom of the bowl and connecting to the main body at the lower end; a bidirectional dough kneading hook with a center shaft is mounted on the upper end of the dough kneading drive shaft; a first dough kneading hook and a second dough kneading hook with asymmetric structure are oppositely set on the center shaft and a center scraper is connected to the bottom of the center shaft. The dough kneading machine effectively ensures the stationarity during rotation operation of food processing, and the efficiency is two times as fast as that of unidirectional dough kneading hook.
