A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR WEIGHING AND CUTTING CONTINUOUS FOOD DOUGH

摘要

This invention provides a system and a method for weighing and cutting food dough that can improve weighing precision of pieces of food dough cut out from continuous food dough, and further can cut out the longer and/or heavier pieces of the food dough from the continuous food dough. The system 1 for weighing continuous food dough D and cutting it into pieces P of food dough having a targeted weight WT comprises: an inlet conveyor 3 for carrying forward the continuous food dough D, a weighing conveyor device 5 disposed adjacent to and at a downstream side, of the inlet conveyor 3, a cutting apparatus 9 for cutting out the pieces P from the continuous food dough D, and a controller 16 connected to the inlet conveyor 3, the weighing conveyor device 5, and the cutting apparatus 9, wherein the weighing conveyor device 5 has a first weighing conveyor 6 and a second weighing conveyor 7 disposed adjacent to and at a downstream side, of the first weighing conveyor 6, and the controller 16 measures a weight of the continuous food dough D being carried forward by the first weighting conveyor 6 and the second weighing conveyor 7, and further measures an actual weight WA of the piece P of the food dough cut out from the continuous food dough D by the first weighing conveyor 6 and the second weighing conveyor 7.
