ABSTRACT:
A dough divider having a dough chamber and, reciprocating therein, a dough feeding plunger for feeding a batch of dough to a measuring chamber whose volume is adjustable for producing pieces of dough of any desired volume and weight. For the driving of the dough feeding plunger, this is connected to a driving motor through the intermediary of a spring device. To avoid undesired working of the dough in the dough chamber during feeding of the dough to the measuring chamber, the spring device in the dough divider according to the invention is double-acting, and the dough divider is provided with an adjustable abutment which stops the dough feeding plunger as it moves away from the measuring chamber, such that the effective volume of the dough chamber may be adapted to the measuring chamber volume as set. Since the spring device is double-acting, relative motions between the driving motor and the dough feeding plunger can be absorbed by the spring device in both directions of travel of the plunger.
