ABSTRACT:
Dough processing method and apparatus in which a head machine has a dough divider for producing successive dough pieces, one after the other, and a conveyor for conveying the dough pieces from the dough divider to a subsequent treatment device A first drive motor drives the dough divider and the conveyor. The subsequent treatment device has a transport conveyor with dough cups for receiving the dough pieces from the conveyor of the head machine at a transfer station and for transporting the dough pieces in the subsequent treatment device A second drive motor drives the transport conveyor. A frequency convertor is connected to the first drive motor to control the speed of operation thereof based on a selected frequency from the frequency convertor. A first switch interrupts the drive of the first drive motor when the conveyor in the head machine is in a position in readiness for transfer of a dough piece to the transfer conveyor and a second switch sends a restart signal to the first drive motor when the transport conveyor is in a position to receive the dough piece. The second drive motor can also be operated by a frequency convertor to control its speed so that the speeds of the conveyor of the head machine and the transport conveyor of the subsequent treatment device are equalized at the transfer station during transfer of the dough pieces.
