Abstract

Method for producing individual dough pieces from a continuous line of dough, in which a row of separate, individually complete contours running diagonally or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the line is cut out of the end section of the line of dough, which correspond to the dough pieces, these contours or dough pieces lying in a row next to one another are removed from the end of the line and delivered rotated or pivoted or otherwise positioned for further processing, with the cutting devices that are used to cut out the row of dough pieces at the end of the line being used as a whole or in part to remove and deliver or otherwise position, guide, hold, rotate, and/or displace the cut-out dough pieces, and with the cutting devices being returned to the end of the line after delivery for another cutting-out process.
