DOUGH PRODUCT ROLLING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ROLLING DOUGHPRODUCTS

摘要

The leading edge of a sheet of dough product impacts an impacting feature a nd causes the leading edge to roll over onto itself thereby initiating a roll. Engagement enhancement is utilized to increase the ability of the sheet of dough produc t to resist sliding upon impacting the impacting feature. This provides a tighter rolled dough product having a consistent size and shape. Thus, in accordance with one specific aspect of the present invention, rolled dough products for subsequent packaging into containers may be formed that have a repeatable size and shape. By providing rolled dough products having a repeatable size and shape a more efficient and economical process results. This is because the size and shape of the rolled dough product is controlled with respect to the size of the container.
