🛠️ How a Dough Moulder Works
A typical dough moulder performs three main actions:
Sheeting: The dough is gently compressed into a flat sheet to remove large air bubbles.
Rolling: The sheeted dough is then rolled into a cylindrical shape.
Moulding: The dough is shaped and elongated to the required size and form (e.g., baguette, sandwich loaf, etc.).
🔧 Main Components
Infeed belt: Where dough pieces are placed.
Sheeting rollers: Compress the dough.
Curling chain or belt: Rolls the dough into a cylinder.
Moulding board or pressure plate: Shapes and elongates the dough.
Outfeed conveyor: Delivers the moulded dough.
