Abstract:
A method of continuously and quantitatively supplying bread dough, comprising:providing a pressing structure which includes first and second movable members, the first movable member having at lest one roller or one belt conveyor and the second movable member having at least one belt conveyor, such that the first and second movable members are oppositely positioned in a horizontal direction below a bread dough feeder,putting bread dough into the bread dough feeder,supplying the bread dough from the bread dough feeder between the first and second moveable members,reciprocally moving at least one of the first and second members in a generally horizontal direction to increase and decrease the distance between the first and second movable members, while the at least one roller or one belt conveyor of the first moveable member and the at least one belt conveyor of the second movable member are driven to convey the bread dough downward therebetween, thereby preventing 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 stably flow downward therebetween.
