Abstract
An apparatus for stirring and, respectively, or kneading dough includes a frame (1) into which a receptacle (17) for the dough to be treated can be carried in by chassis (22). In its carried-in position, the receptacle (17) can be lifted by a lifting device (23) into a position in which at least one tool (15) extends from above into the receptacle (17). Each tool (15) is disposed eccentrically with respect to the axis (42) of the receptacle (17) and is carried by a tool carrier (4) driven around the axis (42) by a drive (41). In additon thereto, a further drive (50) for the tools (15) is provided which are movable relative to the tool carrier (4). The tool carrier (4) is bearingly supported with its periphery on a collar (2) of the frame and closes the upper opening of the receptacle (17) in its lifted position like a cover. Thereby a particular intensive and continuous treatment of the dough in the receptacle (17) is obtained and the stresses on the receptacle (17) are reduced.
