Patent ID: 11076605

Abstract:
A multiple-row dough portioning apparatus includes at least one portioning chamber to define a portioned dough quantity, at least one metering piston, which is displaceable in the portioning chamber between a retracted metering position and an extended ejection position. The dough portioning apparatus comprises a drive unit having a control component. The drive unit is configured to displace the metering piston from the metering position into the ejection position. The dough portioning apparatus is configured such that a displacement of the metering pistons takes place exclusively on account of a pressure exerted on the metering pistons by the dough. The control component is connected to all metering pistons to transmit a tensile force from the control roller to the metering pistons. The portioning chamber is accommodated in a portioning cylinder, which is pivotable between a metering pivot position and a pivoted ejection pivot position.
