ABSTRACT:
Food pieces are folded by depositing a food piece onto a conveyor and onto a rotatable bar which is positioned above the conveyor surface. The bar has a perimeter shape which conforms to a half perimeter shape of the food piece and is initially positioned to extend parallel to the conveyor surface. After a food piece has been deposited on the bar and conveyor surface, the bar is rotated in an arc about a bar axis of rotation so that the bar lifts up and folds a half portion of the deposited food piece over onto another half portion of the food piece on the conveyor surface. The bar is rotated to return it to its initial position, and the conveyor surface is advanced to transport the folded food piece. A filling may be deposited on the deposited food piece prior to folding the food piece.
