Apparatus for depositing curved pieces of dough

摘要

In the case of such an apparatus, a conveyor belt (3) is guided beneath a longitudinal plaiting device and over a front deflection roller (6) situated above a moving depositing point, and a roller (9) is situated some distance from and upstream of the deflection roller, bounds a passage gap (23) on one side and is driven intermittently, its drive (10) being controlled (11, 22, 26) to permit passage of a piece of dough (12) through the gap (23). It is desirable in this process for the long piece of dough to be aligned without rotation or turning in a straight line above the gap and to be conveyed through the gap. This is achieved in that a freely rotatable roller (8), which is arranged between the deflection roller (6) and the driveable roller (9), bounds the passage gap (23) on the other side and the driveable roller (9) rotates to permit passage of the piece of dough (12) in the direction of passage. Before being conveyed through the gap, the pieces of dough are placed in a straight line on the two stationary rollers. <IMAGE>
