Abstract
Abstract A process for the continuous production of multilayered food material, which consists substantially in feeding a dough of uniform thickness which covers fat, paste or other inner material onto a movable base. The base is located beneath a press, which compresses the fed materials into a predetermined thickness. The press is actuated in synchronization with the feed of the materials and the movement of the base is variable as to its velocity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A process for the continuous production of multilayered food product from a plurality of substantially spherical materials each comprising an outer layer of dough and a filling encrusted by said dough; the process including feeding said materials onto a movable base, one upon the other, said movable base being movable in one direction to convey said materials from the feeding location to another location for further processing; and compressing said materials upon feeding each material upon said movable base and before the feeding of a subsequent material, using a descendable press platen positioned above the movable base.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A process for the continuous production of multilayered food product from a plurality of substantially spherical materials each comprising an outer layer of dough and a filling encrusted by said dough; the process including feeding said materials onto a movable base, one upon the other, said movable base being movable in one direction to convey said materials from the feeding location to another location for further processing; and compressing said materials upon feeding each material upon said movable base and before the feeding of a subsequent material, using a descendable press platen positioned above the movable base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the base is constantly moving during production and wherein the number of layers is freely adjusted by varying the velocity of the base.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process according to claim 1 which consists of moving the base continuously at a speed which is regulated so that the distance of the movement of the base is one-half of the diameter or less of the compressed material for each interval of time between the feeding of a material and the feeding of subsequent material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process according to claim 1 which consists of moving the base intermittently and feeding and compressing a plurality of said materials, one upon the other, while said base is stationary, so as to permit the production of multilayered material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the compressed material is rolled up into a convulute bar by means of a stationary chain belt and a moving belt.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the compressed material is re-compressed by a press roller.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 6, in which the compressed material is cut to a predetermined length by means of cutter teeth on the press roller.
