From the pre-mixer, the homogeneous mix of ingredients is delivered into a circular kneading chamber. Here a number of mixing tools divide the mix into a number of “mini-batches”, thanks to the planetary movement of the head and thanks to the Sancassiano’s patented design where the spiral tools work against a backplate (named “full contacts”).
The number of mixing tools in the chamber depends upon the throughput required and each spiral can be independently driven for maximum control.
Each “mini-batch” is mixed by its own spiral tool and exits the chamber via an opening in the bottom in strict sequence. The spiral tool pushes the dough through the opening onto a conveyor belt which feeds the make up line.
