Sheeter with pivotable feed system

A masa processing system, comprising:

• a nozzle configured to output a feed of masa into a sheeter;
• a piping system comprising a conduit configured to be coupled to a source of the feed of masa and to convey the feed of masa to the nozzle;
• and
• a support assembly comprising:
• a post having a lower fixed end and an upper end;
• and
• a transverse support having a first end pivotably coupled with the post and a second end opposite the first end, the second end being configured to be disposed above and transversely offset from the first end, the transverse support being coupled with the conduit of the piping system over the nozzle,
• wherein the support assembly has a first configuration in which the nozzle is disposed at a first angular position relative to a vertical axis and positioned over the sheeter and a second configuration in which the transverse support is rotated about the vertical axis relative to the first angular position to position the nozzle in a second angular position offset from the first angular position and disposed away from the sheeter.

A masa processing system comprising:

• a pivotable support assembly configured to be disposed on one side of a sheeter, the pivotable support assembly comprising:
• a post having a lower fixed end and an upper end;
• and
• a pivotable assembly coupled with the upper end of the post, the pivotable assembly comprising:
• a pivot member rotatably coupled with the post and being pivotable about a vertical axis;
• and
• a transverse support having a first end coupled with the pivot member and a second end opposite the first end,
• wherein the pivotable support assembly is configured to rotate about the vertical axis between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the second end of the transverse support is disposed over the sheeter, wherein in the second position, the second end of the transverse support is disposed away from the sheeter,
• wherein the pivotable support assembly has a first configuration in which the transverse support is coupled with a piping system configured to convey a feed of masa to the sheeter, and a second configuration in which transverse support is configured to lift sheeter rollers from within the sheeter.
