Abstract
The present invention is related to the method of positioning a rolled-up end of a fusiform croissant dough piece at a predetermined location of the dough piece when it is conveyed by a conveyor. The rolled-up end is sensed by a sensing means while the dough piece is rotated on the conveyor. Since the end is positioned at a predetermened location of the dough, at the underside of it, for instance, croissants of a uniform shape can be produced.
Claims3
A method of adjusting a position of a rolled-up end of a croissant dough piece in a croissant dough piece bending apparatus comprising the steps of conveying a rolled-up croissant dough piece by a conveyor, adjusting the position of the dough piece by causing an engaging member provided on the conveyor to contact and roll the dough piece, sensing the rolled-up end of the dough piece by a sensor while it is being rolled, the sensor providing a signal, disengaging the engaging member from the dough piece based on the signal from the sensor, and bending the croissant dough piece.
