Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus (2) for mixing powdery baking ingredients with water. The apparatus (2) comprises a mixing chamber (4) which is inclined at a gradient and is preferably vertical, which has in an upper head region (6) at least one opening (8) for powdery baking ingredients falling into the mixing chamber (4) and in which there is arranged at least one nozzle (10) from which water (12) is ejected at a pressure of at least 30 bar from at least one nozzle opening (14). The nozzle opening (14) is directed at a mechanical obstruction (16) within the mixing chamber (4). Water (12) spraying out of the nozzle opening (14), together with the supplied baking ingredients, impacts the obstruction (16) in an impact region (20). Below the mixing chamber (4) there is arranged a container (24) which is provided with a cover (22) and which is connected, in a dough-conveying manner, to a discharge opening (26) of the mixing chamber (4). The apparatus has a suction device (32) for baking ingredient dust from the container (24), which has a suction opening (34) on the container (24), an inlet opening (36) into the mixing chamber (4) and a recycling duct (38) that connects the suction opening (34) to the inlet opening (36). Thus, the suction opening (34) is arranged in the head region (40) of the container (24) and the inlet opening (36) is arranged above the impact region (20) in the mixing chamber (4).
