Abstract
The new invention proposes a new method and a device for the production of dough, particularly for pasta. The formation of dough from the dry raw materials to the finished pressed products is effected in a very short time in two stages. A raw dough is first produced in a 2-shaft mixing kneader; this dough has a substantially complete protein structure. The forming of the dough, including the mixing of the raw materials, takes place by means of an interplay of kneading and shearing, but without extrusion die pressure at the end of the first stage. In the case of classic pasta, the dough which is produced in pieces by the short 2-shaft mixing kneader is transferred to a long single-shaft press and pressed with high pressure to form the desired shapes.
