Abstract
A system and method for rolling planar food products that rest upon interleaving paper is provided. The system includes first and second conveyors, a rotating mechanism and a movement system. The rotating mechanism is normally disposed at a first position proximate to the end of the first conveyor such that a leading edge of planar dough that extends over the first conveyor falls with respect to the rotating mechanism. The controller urges rotation of the rotation mechanism as the leading edge extends with respect to the rotating mechanism and rotates until the planar food product is fully rolled about the rotation mechanism. The movement mechanism then translates the rotation mechanism to a position where it is aligned with the second conveyor.
