Abstract

A wire separator apparatus for a food sheeter includes motor driven feed spools of separator wire, the separator wire being suspended from wire pulleys across the face of a roller. Motor driven take-up spools collect separator wire dispensed from the feed spools as the separator wire is automatically moved across the face of a roller. A fresh section of separator wire is continuously drawn across the roller, substantially eliminating wire breakage.
