The present invention relates to a self-threading device intended for the food industry, particularly for longitudinal dough sheeters, which contains 10 various mechanical elements that make it possible to facilitate the lamination process in such a way as to make it more convenient and safe.
It belongs to the mechanical engineering sector and more specifically to the food machinery sector.
At present there are many applications of laminators in the food industry.
This type of machine allows to laminate and homogenize the thickness and texture of the dough that passes through its interior, replacing manual work with a mechanical system that has multiple advantages such as reducing production costs, reducing processing times or ensuring the uniformity of the product in size.
The machine as a whole consists of a metal frame that houses two steel rollers responsible for laminating and homogenizing the thickness and texture of the dough that passes through it.
To achieve this purpose, the set is equipped with a series of 25 pinions and gears in charge of transmitting the movement from the general motor reducer to the two rollers, through a pinion-chain transmission; transmitting the movement directly to the lower laminating roller and to the dough entry belt, being this first roller the one that, through a pinion-chain transmission first, and two straight gears afterwards, transmits the movement to the upper laminating roller 30.
