Apparatus for making spring-roll skin from dough
First Claim
1. An apparatus for making a printed spring-roll skin from dough, comprising:
- a forming drum having a circumferential heating surface adapted to heat and form the dough into a skin;
a dough feeder having an inlet, and an outlet adjacent to said heating surface;
a scraper disposed adjacent to said heating surface downstream of said outlet relative to a rotating direction of said forming drum and adapted to remove the skin from said heating surface;
a printing roller disposed rotatably adjacent to said forming drum and having a circumferential printing surface in contact with said heating surface at a location upstream of said outlet relative to the rotating direction of said forming drum, said printing surface having at least one printing head to impart a pattern to said heating surface;
a first gear disposed coaxially with said forming drum;
a second gear disposed coaxially with said printing roller and meshed with said first gear; and
color supply means connected to said printing roller and adapted to supply a coloring agent to said printing roller.

Abstract
An apparatus for making a printed spring-roll skin includes a forming drum having a circumferential heating surface to form a skin from dough, a dough feeder having an outlet adjacent to the heating surface, a scraper disposed adjacent the heating surface to remove the skin from the heating surface, and a printing roller disposed rotatably adjacent the forming drum and having a circumferential printing surface in contact with the heating surface. First and second intermeshed gears are respectively disposed coaxially with the forming drum and the printing roller so as to drive the same simultaneously. A coloring agent is supplied to the printing roller to print the drum surface which transfers a print to the skin.
