Abstract
An apparatus for rounding the sequential pieces of bakery dough dispensed by a dough handling machine employs upper and lower advancing assemblies. Each assembly has an endless flat conveyor belt. Both belts move in opposite directions, and are dimensioned such that the pieces of dough fall off the extremity of the upper belt onto the lower belt. Stationary vanes on the top surfaces of the belts contact the pieces of dough to cause rounding thereof.
