ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for dividing a mass of dough into a plurality of smaller volumes for buns and the like of uniform weight which includes a manifold having internal dividers and monolithic conduits for dividing the dough into a plurality of streams. The manifold has a large volume to surface area and divides the dough under relatively low pressure of preferably 40 to 45 pounds per square inch gauge pressure. The apparatus also utilizes restrictors to fine tune the flow rates of the separate streams. The restrictors are flexible tube conduits that pass through a valve assembly having adjustable pressure bars that pinch the flexible tubes to vary their opening.
