Disclosed is a device for dividing dough into portions, with a feed shaft (31) for the dough. Located in this shaft is a pre-portioning tool (51) in the form of two counter-rotating star-section rollers (32) which are driven to turn when the amount of dough in the chamber (30) situated beneath them drops below a given value. The dough is pushed by a pushing device out of this chamber into recesses (4) in the outer wall of a drum (2) which is rotated in steps. The volume of dough in the chamber (30) is monitored by a capacitative sensor (35) built into the wall (36) of the feed shaft in such a way that the sensor (35) does not impede the flow of dough. |
