Title: Dough forming and cutting machine

Abstract: Apparatus for rolling, forming and severing a product such as comestible dough. A mass of unformed dough is placed on a conveyor belt above which a rigid board is supported and inclined downwardly in the direction of movement of the belt whereby the dough is rolled, as it passes under the board, into a cylinder having a diameter corresponding to the spacing between the belt and board at the exit end. The cylinder of dough is then deposited at the opposite end of the apparatus to pass between a pair of spaced rollers, thus being rolled into a sheet. A guide roller receives the sheet of dough emerging from between the forming rollers and guides it toward a plurality of cutter disks. The dough is severed into side-by-side strips as it passes between the guide roller and cutter disks and is deposited on the same conveyor belt used in the initial rolling operation for transport to a final receiving station or pan.
