Abstract:
Spiral-type kneading machine for preparing flour-based mixtures, comprising:a non-rotating circular bowl, kneading means arranged within the bowl comprising at least one spiral-shaped tool constituted by a substantially helical arm lying between two theoretical coaxial cylindrical surfaces (E, I) which are tangent thereto from the outside and the inside, and a fixed member for engaging the dough, projecting from a bottom of the bowl, wherein: said spiral-shaped kneading tool has its axis substantially coincident with the axis of the bowl and occupies substantially the entire space contained within the bowl, said fixed member projecting from the bottom of the bowl is spaced from the central axis of the bowl, so as to engage the product being kneaded preventing the formation at the center of the bowl of a mass of product which would tend to be rotated around itself by the kneading tool, without being kneaded.
