<p>A dough-stretching roller apparatus is provided to produce a continuous web of dough in a process to manufacture confectionery and bread. The apparatus includes a pair of upper rollers (3) and a pair of lower rollers (4), a sensor means (5) that measures the thickness of the dough when it enters the lower rollers, and a controller (11) that controls a motor (8) driving the upper rollers in response to a signal from the sensor means. The controller increases the rotational speed of the upper rollers when the sensors detect that the thickness of dough is less than a preset thickness and decreases such rotational speed when the thickness of the dough is greater than the preset thickness. Thus, even if the quantity of dough supplied from a hopper is unstable, the stable production of a stretched web of dough having a constant volume per unit length can be assured. <IMAGE></p> |
