Abstract
This dough shaping machine includes a station (20) for rolling out dough and a station (14, 16) for conveying the rolled out dough along an outward path from the entry of the conveyor station (14, 16) facing the rolling out station (20) to an intermediate point through a station for rolling up the rolled out dough and a return path through a station (44) for shaping the rolled up dough by elongating it from the intermediate point to the exit from the transfer point near the entry. It further includes, near the intermediate point, a station (46) for actively transferring the rolled up dough from the outward path to the return path.
