The main functions of the rounding operation are: to form a skin around the dough piece to minimize gas diffusion; to reorient the gluten structure to improve its gas retaining properties; and to form the dough into a ball for easier handling in subsequent step. Three types of rounders are used commercially: the cone, umbrella and drum. In each case the dough piece is forced to travel on a moving surface in a continually rotating motion.

CONT

L'objectif principal du boulage est de former une pellicule autour du pâton pour réduire au minimum la diffusion des gaz, de réorienter la structure du gluten de manière à améliorer sa rétention du gaz et de donner au pâton une forme arrondie qui se prête mieux aux manipulations ultérieures. On utilise commercialement trois sortes de bouleuses : à cône, à cône inversé et à tambour. Dans tous les cas, le pâton doit se déplacer sur une surface mobile, dans un mouvement de rotation continu.
