2.3. Automatic Vacuum Press

Sifted flour gets to the high-

speed mixer through vacuum
sluice- batcher of flour. Required
amount of water is fed to the
same place from a reservoir with
a set automatic water heating
system.
In the high-speed mixer water
is preliminary mixed with flour
under high revolutions. After the
high-speed mixer dough gets
into kneading bunkers of the
main kneading machine of the
press, where the process of
kneading and ripening takes
place. From the kneading
machine dough is picked out by
screw and extruded through the
extrusion die, inserts of which
determine the shape of a
specific product.
