APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING COILED DOUGH SHEETS AND TURNS SEPARATING SHET FOR USE IN THAT METHOD

摘要

The invention pertains to an apparatus for producing rolls of dough sheets with separator sheets, with conveyor means to deliver a sheet of dough, especially of puff pastry dough, and a separator sheet, especially of baking paper, into the feed slot of a fork-like winder, which can be set in rotation when the leading edge of the composite of dough and separation sheets has run in, and retracted axially from the newly formed roll once the rotational operation has ended. The conveyor means comprise a device (7, 12) for laying a separation sheet (14) on a circulating conveyor belt (1); a device for laying a dough sheet (9) on the separation sheet (14) laid on the conveyor belt (1), preferably at a distance from the forward edge of the separation sheet (14), in the advance direction, exceeding the sum of winder circumference and feed slot depth; a device (18, 19) for folding over the section (16) of the separation sheet (14) protruding ahead of the dough sheet (9) to cover the top of the forward section (17), in the advance direction, of the dough sheet (9), and a device (1, 24) for introducing the forward section (17) of the dough sheet (9) covered with separation sheet into the feed slot (25) of the winder (26).
