Food processing machinery - Dough sheeters - Safety and hygiene requirements

This standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of dough sheeters used in the food industry and shops (bread-making, pastry-making, sweet industries, bakeries, confectioners, delicatessens, catering facilities, etc) for reducing the thickness of a solid mass of dough or pastry by rolling it out. The operation is generally carried out by passing the dough back and forth between the rollers whose distance apart is reduced progressively either by manual adjustment or automatically.
The standard covers the technical safety requirements for the transport, installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning and maintenance of these machines.
This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to dough sheeters, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 5).
Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard. This does not mean that the manufacturer is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore a noise test code is given in Annex B.
The following machines are excluded:
- experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer;
- domestic appliances.
This standard is not applicable to dough sheeters which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

The operation is carried out by passing the dough back and forth between the rollers whose distance apart is reduced progressively either by manual adjustment or automatically. The frame supports the following components (see Figure 1): 1) the electric motor which drives the rollers; SIST EN 1674:2015



EN 1674:2015 (E) 8 2) two superimposed rollers. The height of the lower one is fixed, the height of the upper one can be adjusted to obtain dough of the desired thickness. The two rollers rotate in opposite directions; 3) scraping devices to remove dough residues from the rollers; 4) a table or conveyor on one sides or both sides of the rollers; 5) the control system which may include an on/off switch, a device for reversing the direction of rotation, and a rollers’ gap adjustment control; 6) an optional attachment to spread flour; 7) optional devices to cut dough and to roll dough. The cutting device is used at the end of the rolling phase to cut predetermined forms from the dough. The system is often composed of a roller fitted with circular knives for making bands, and of a roller fitted with imprints to make special forms such as croissants, chocolate filled pastry tartlets, etc. Rolling up the dough can be done by using a winding net to make special rolled forms such as croissant etc. The capacity of the machine is defined by the width of the in-feed table (or conveyors).
