ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing foodstuff products, wherein a food wrapping comprising a flat flour sheet, known as a "tortilla", is stuffed with a food product of ingredients by dispositing the stuffing ingredients on the tortilla and thereafter folding and rolling the flour sheet to form a foodstuff known as a "burrito". The apparatus comprises a conveyor system arranged to pass the tortilla placed thereon through a series of stations whereby the flour sheet is sequencially wrapped about the foodstuff ingredients to encapsulate the foodstuff therein. The stations include depositing the foodstuff on the flour sheet, folding the side edges of the sheet by a folding chute, folding the leading edge of the sheet back over the food stuffing and folded side edges, rolling the sheet and stuffing back over itself a first time, and again rolling the sheet and stuffing therein a second and final time, after which the stuffed tortilla is discharged from the conveyor as a completed burrito ready for packaging.
