Abstract
The protein framework is developed in a continuously working 2-shaft kneading device for the production of paste product dough without--as was previously required--a dwelling time of 10-15 minutes in a mixing trough. In so doing, a so-called dry and crumbly dough is formed. This is transferred to a directly adjoining single-shaft screw press without the application of pressure if possible. The apparatus accordingly includes three characteristic process stages: a first whirling mixer for the intimate mixing of the dry components with water, a 2-shaft kneading device, and a single-shaft press.
