Abstract
Apparatus for controlling the flow of dough in a machine for advancing bakery dough through a single manifold that feeds parallel conduits includes a stem disposed upon the center axis of each conduit and adjustment means for axially positioning the stem. A moveable abutment plug of streamlined shape is positioned upon the stem adjacent its lowermost extremity. A stationary abutment shoulder is disposed within the conduit above the moveable abutment plug, and is adapted to make close-fitting contact with the upper portion of the moveable abutment plug.
