A device for forming a dough strip, including a dough supply device, by means of which dough can be introduced into the device, a draw-in roller which can be rotated about its axis, a forming roller which can be rotated about its axis, a discharge roller which can be rotated about its axis, and at least one drive, by means of which the draw-in roller and/or the forming roller and/or the discharge roller can be driven. The axes of the draw-in roller, the forming roller, and the discharge roller are arranged parallel to one another in a mutually spaced manner, and a dough chamber is formed between the draw-in roller, the forming roller, and the discharge roller. The device has two cover shields which laterally delimit the dough chamber, in particular on the end faces of the draw-in roller, the forming roller, and the discharge roller.

A machine for making filled pasta includes first and second feeding device for feeding first and second layers of pasta dough, and a shaping device for shaping the filled pasta, located downstream of the feeding devices. The machine controls the advancing of the first and second layers the respective feeding device such that at least along a first stretch of the path of the first layer between the first feeding device and the shaping device, an excess length of the first layer of pasta dough forms by gravity a respective bend along the unrolling direction and at least along a first stretch of the path of the second layer between the second feeding device and the shaping device, an excess length of the second layer of pasta dough forms by gravity a respective bend along the unrolling direction.

A Magnetic Rolling System for Pliable Material is described as a rolling board having the ability to magnetically attract spacing and guide rails on which a rolling pin travels, thus keeping a rolling pin a specified distance above the rolling board and on track. In addition, these spacing and guide rails are also used to hold a rolling diagram, a cutting mat, and a sheet of parchment paper firmly in place. The Magnetic Rolling System for Pliable Material makes rolling pliable material such as dough and compounds to a precise thickness, simple and almost effortless.

An apparatus for making a wrapped food product includes a conveyor under continuous motion. A wrapper is positioned over the moving conveyor. The apparatus includes a filling mechanism that conveys a filling from a hopper to a mold and a piston that pushes the filling from the mold to the wrapper. The apparatus also includes a folding mechanism that folds a side of the wrapper over a portion of the filling, and a second plate that folds the other side of the wrapper over another portion of the filling. A stamper is positioned over the conveyor, pressing the folded wrapper onto the filling. A flipping mechanism of the apparatus includes a set of guide plates and a prong that rotates the filling and a portion of the wrapper around the filling on itself.

A method and an apparatus of forming food dough to be used for making bases for pizza and the like are described. The method provides for compressing a predefined mass or dose of dough between two surfaces and massaging it by deforming one of said surfaces, consisting of a flexible diaphragm whereon the dough is worked. For this purpose, the forming machine has idle tapered rollers arranged under the diaphragm, which make a motion of revolution about a vertical axis and roll on the extrados of the diaphragm. During the forming process, the dough is squeezed by a movable plate or cover.
