Abstract
The feed of a sheet of biscuit dough via gauge rollers to cutting apparatus is automatically adjusted to compensate for variations in the thickness of the sheet emerging from the gauge rollers, by measuring the power consumed by or the torque applied to an electrical drive unit driving the gauge rollers, producing an electrical signal proportional to the measured power or torque, and utilizing the signal to adjust the feed of the sheet and correct over- or under-feed to the gauge rollers.
