An adjustable roller assembly for producing sheeted food products of an accurate thickness which includes an adjustable roller positioned adjacent a second roller. The adjustable roller is held in bearings which are eccentrically mounted in a pair of turnable members which are supported by a first bearing. The axis of rotation of the adjustable roller is offset from the axis of rotation of the turnable members. The polar orientation of the turnable members is continuously adjustable to provide the desired thickness of the sheeted food product. Preferably, the orientation of the turnable member at one end of the adjustable roller is adjustable independently of the roller orientation of the other turnable member. The process for continuously forming a thin sheet of a food product of a uniform thickness independent of the variations of the rheology of the food product and includes a step of continuously feeding a sheet of food products between two rollers with at least one of the rollers being an adjustable roller. The adjustable roller is mounted between a pair of bearings held eccentrically in a pair of turnable members. The distance between the two rollers is measured which provides a signal which turns the turnable member thereby changing the axis of rotation of the adjustable roller to provide a constant product thickness.
