Modeling of the dough mixing process for different constructions of the working bodies of continuous action is suggested using the software package Flow Vision. Data analysis enables to suggest a construction of the compound working body that provides a three-stage process of dough kneading in the dough-mixing machines of continuous action.
Mixing is a crucial operation in the bakery industry. The bread dough is a very complex material, considered viscoelastic whose behavior depends on moisture content and temperature. This article aim is to develop advanced technology for modeling bread dough mixing, in order to provide a predictive capability of optimum design parameters of dough mixers using computational techniques.
