 In bakery industries, kneading is regarded as oneof the significant operations
that define themechanical properties of dough, which have adirect effect on
the quality of the end product(Rosell and Collar, 2009). To achieve
optimalkneading, flour is placed in a vessel of some typewhich allows the
material to be moved and stirredin a desired pattern at the desired speed
andtorque. The main purpose of the kneadingoperation is to obtain a homoge
neous mixtureof the raw and auxiliary materials and at thesame time obtain
dough with viscous-elasticstructure and properties (Canja

Abstract
Dough kneading is an essential operation which enhances the development
of gluten that gives bread its structure. Manual dough kneading is
laborious, energy-sapping and time consuming, even at a small-scale level
of production.This study focused on the development of dough kneading machine
and evaluation of the effects of beaters type(elbow, flat and wired) on the
physical qualities of bread. The kneader performance was evaluated based on
kneadingtime, kneading efficiency and kneading capacity. The physical properties
of the bread in terms of volume, bulk densityand weight loss for each beater was
measured and analysed statistically at p<0.05. The result shows that
kneadingtime varied significantly based on beater type. Optimum kneading time
was achieved at 20 min, 27 min and 35 min forelbow, flat and wired beaters
respectively. The optimum kneading efficiency and capacity were found to be
90.13%and 18 kg/h while using elbow beater. From the product evaluation, the
beater type had no significant effect at p<0.05 on the volume, bulk
density and weight loss of the bread produced using the developed
dough kneader. Thedeveloped dough kneading machine was efficient for the
production of bread when using the elbow beater The invention relates to the technical
field of dough cutting, in particular to an automatic dough cutting mechanism in the bread making
process, which comprises a cross bar, a rotating rod, blades, lifting devices, a control rod, vertical plates
and a control pipe, wherein the rotating rod is distributed on one side of the cross bar in parallel, the
rotating rod is fixedly connected with a plurality of uniformly distributed blades, the cross bar is connected
with a plurality of uniformly distributed lifting devices, the blades and the lifting devices are alternately
distributed, the control rod is distributed on one side of the rotating rod, which is far away from the cross
bar, in parallel, the cross bar, the rotating rod and the control rod are arranged between the two vertical
plates, and the control pipe is arranged on one side of the vertical plates. The problem of excessive
deformation of massive dough is avoided, and the function is stable and strong
This work focuses on the development of a motor-powered dough-kneading machine for
