APPARECCHIATURA PER DETERMINARE SELETTIVAMENTE L'ORIENTAMENTO DI PEZZI DI PASTA

摘要

In an apparatus and method for selectively determining the orientation of dough pieces, dough pieces are made to fall from an upper conveyor passing around a curved end portion formed at the downstream end thereof. The falling dough pieces hit a bar positioned underneath the curved end portion and land on a lower conveyor positioned under the bar with the orientation reversed or unchanged depending upon whether the dough piece rides on the forward or the rearward side of the bar.
