In a method of conveying bar-like bread dough pieces (61, 62, 63), the dough pieces (61, 62) are conveyed on a conveyor with their axes generally perpendicular to the direction of travel. The dough pieces (62) are caused to rotate about their axes at the downstream end of the conveyor, and this serves to straighten the dough pieces (62). Apparatus for conveying bar-like bread dough pieces includes a conveyor (10) and an engaging member (30, 80, 90) for contacting the dough pieces (62) at the downstream end of the conveyor (10). It is the contact with the engaging member (30, 80, 90) which causes the dough pieces (62) to rotate and so straighten. The distance between the conveying face (11) of the conveyor (10) and the engaging member (30, 80, 90)is adjustable. <IMAGE> |
