A stuffing filling and gas charging system of a dough food product machine is arranged between a stuffing feeding unit and a dough feeding unit of the dough food product machine and includes a stuffing conveyance pipe, and a shaft sleeve, a dough driving rod, and a screw rod support enclosure sleeved over the stuffing conveyance pipe. A first passage is formed between the shaft sleeve and the stuffing conveyance pipe; a second passage is formed between the dough driving rod and the stuffing conveyance pipe; and a third passage is formed between the screw rod support enclosure and the stuffing conveyance pipe. The passages are in communication with each other and are connected to a gas supply unit, so that air flow is introduced into a dough skin during the dough skin being shaped to prevent the dough skin from wrinkling and collapsing before being properly shaped.

A stuffing and molding mechanism of a dough food product processing machine includes a stationary structure inside which first and second mold rollers are arranged. At least one demolding rotary disc includes a disc body formed with a shaft hole by which a retention key is provided. The demolding rotary disc is fit to an end of a molding cutter of one of the mold rollers by means of the shaft hole for synchronous rotation therewith. At least one demolding pawl is raised from one side of the disc body that is adjacent to the molding cutter. A tubular dough skin filled with stuffing is supplied between the two molding cutters to be pressed and cut and then sealed to form a dumpling. Demolding of the dumpling is achieved by having the demolding pawl that is provided on the demolding rotary disc contact and push one side of the dumpling.

Described is a unit for forming short pasta comprising at least one pin rotatable in a first direction of rotation about a first axis of rotation and at least one roller rotatable in a second direction of rotation opposite the first direction of rotation about a second axis of rotation parallel to the first axis of rotation; the roller is movable along a first operating direction at right angles to the first and the second axes of rotation between a non-operating position and an operating position alongside the pin; the forming unit comprises a punch movable in another operating direction at right angles to the first operating direction, to the first axis of rotation and to the second axis of rotation between a retracted position and an extracted position for feeding a piece of sheet to the pin and to the roller.

A dough dividing system includes a hopper for receiving dough constituent including a hopper inlet and a hopper outlet, a divider assembly including a divider block including a divider block cavity, and a first actuator, and a receptacle including a receptacle inlet. The first actuator moves the divider block to align the divider block cavity with the hopper outlet, the dough constituent enters the divider block cavity when the divider block cavity is aligned with the hopper outlet, the divider block moves to shear a dough form from the dough constituent, and the divider block moves the dough form over the receptacle inlet such that the dough form can empty from the divider block cavity.

An apparatus for separating a ribbon of uncooked embossed dough into separated pieces patterned/shaped like the embossed pattern. The apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart rollers for receiving a ribbon of dough there between. One of rollers has a pattern embossed on its surface to emboss the ribbon of dough with the pattern. The surface embossing and the spacing between the rollers maintains the structural integrity of the embossed ribbon of dough. The apparatus has a two spaced apart rotating arms to receive the embossed dough ribbon there between. A plurality of spaced apart fingers extend outward along the length of each of the arms and are configured to tear the dough, without sticking, into dough pieces reflecting shapes embossed in the dough ribbon. The dough pieces can be dried, and patterned shaped pieces are separated out for expansion to three dimensions by cooking.

A method for forming stuffed food includes steps of: step 1: sending and cutting dough wrappers; wherein shaping molds (1001) on a rotation disc (101) are arranged below a sending and cutting station (20); the dough wrappers are cut into pre-set shapes before dropping in the shaping molds (1001); unused dough enters an opening (106) on the rotation disc (101) and is transported downwardly, so as to be collected; and step 2: filling the dough wrappers with stuffing; wherein the shaping molds (1001) transport the dough wrappers to a stuffing injection station (30) where the stuffing is injected onto the dough wrappers. According to the method, the opening on the rotation assembly collects the unused dough and takes full advantage of the space below the rotation assembly. A recycling bin is placed below the opening to collect the unused dough.
