Abstract:
An apparatus for continuously and quantitatively supplying bread dough comprising:a pressing structure provided below a bread dough feeder, the pressing structure including first and second movable members, the second movable member having at least one belt conveyor being adapted such that a portion of its conveying surface facing the dough moves downward to apply a force to pull the bread dough downward, and which two movable members are oppositely positioned in a generally horizontal direction, means for reciprocally moving at least one of the two movable members in a generally horizontal direction to increase and decrease the distance between the two movable members, and to prevent the pressure applied to the bread dough positioned between the first and second movable members from being excessively increased, so as to allow the bread dough to steadily flow downward therebetween.
