Abstract
A method for producing a dough sheet having a predetermined width and height from a dough mass of a non-uniform volume, comprising the steps of compressing the mass on a supplying conveyor, detecting any change of width of the compressed dough sheet, driving a delivery conveyor provided downstream of the supplying conveyor at a constant speed, while changing the speed of the supplying conveyor, and, further, stretching the dough sheet on the delivery conveyor, the supplying conveyor being driven based on the data of any detected change in the dough width. Apparatuses are provided to carry out the above method.
