A process for producing noodle strips in which a dough sheet is slit into noodle strips using a rotary slitting device comprising at least a pair of cutting blade rolls, scraping members and air flow supply means. The dough sheet is passed through the cutting blade rolls, to thereby slit the dough sheet into noodle strips; the noodle strips are peeled off from the cutting blade rolls using the scraping members, to thereby separate into upper and lower noodle strip bundles; and air flow is supplied to the slit noodle strips from the air flow supply means. There is provided a process capable of stably realizing generally straight noodle strips with no strong longitudinal waves even in a mass production line.

A method of manufacturing a dough sheet, comprising providing a batch of dough, introducing the batch of dough to a pair of rollers, processing the dough through the pair of rollers to produce the dough sheet, and outputting the dough sheet from the pair of rollers. The pair of rollers is configured to transform the dough into the dough sheet, wherein a surface of each of the rollers of the pair of rollers is a grooved surface having a plurality of predetermined grooves. The predetermined grooves can run in a same direction as a direction of rotation of the roller, and the grooved surface has a predetermined surface roughness formed by the predetermined grooves.

A noodle band cutting apparatus for cutting a noodle band having a predetermined thickness and a predetermined width with cutting devices comprises a moving mechanism and plural cutting devices. One cutting device is selected from the plural cutting devices. The selected one pair of the cutting devices is moved and fixed at a position to cut the noodle band within the moving mechanism.

The presented apparatus relates generally to the ability to interface different devices and attachments to commercially available common-off-the-shelf (COTS) mixer devices. More particularly, the presented exemplary embodiment relates to methods, apparatus, and systems for the enablement of mating third-party products to the COTS mixing devices, utilizing the mixer as the drive source for the mated product. It will also provide for the transference of torque between the mixer and other third-party products.
