<p>An apparatus utilizes an object holding technique for holding a tray (16) or discrete object while supplying a dough product (17) onto the tray or discrete object. Preferably, a conveyor (20, 22) transports the tray (16) or discrete object for receiving dough products. A subframe (48) preferably moves the tray or object, by way of deflecting the conveyor, to a position with respect to a dough supplying device (142) such that dough products (17) may be placed on the tray (16) or object. In an embodiment, a cutoff blade (148) may be utilized to portion the dough products. Preferably, the operation of the conveyor (20, 22), subframe (48), supply device (142), and cutoff blade (148) are controlled by a control system (11). The present invention is also directed to methods of portioning and placing dough products on a tray or discrete object by way of such an apparatus.</p> |
