Abschnitt 7.6 - 7.6 Dough production

The kneading machine for the production of dough has to be featured and operated so that flour dust emission is reduced to a minimum.

The mixing bowls must be fitted with tightly closing lids.

An access opening and, depending upon the type of kneading machine, an additional opening for the kneading tool are permissible. In this case, kneading must start at lowest speed level.

Functional ingredients must be added in a manner that generates little dust, for example as granulate, liquid or paste.
