ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a press for bread products which includes two horizontally opposed, inclined press blocks which contain electromagnets with a trapezoidal pendulum block is pivotally mounted between the press blocks. The pendulum includes two large permanent magnets. The polarity of the electromagnets is switched in a manner to force the pendulum to swing from contact with one press block to the other. A dough ball distribution system is also provided which distributes dough balls to interstitial positions between the pendulum and the press blocks, so that when the polarity of the electromagnets is switched, the pendulum press block presses the dough ball into a tortilla. A heating system is provided to heat the press blocks and pendulum block to partially cook the tortilla and aid in removing the pressed blocks after it is pressed. Controlling circuitry is also provided which controls the activation of the heating system, the motion of the press block, the timing between the dough ball distributor and movement of the pendulum press block.
