Abstract: This dough shaping machine includes, carried by a frame (12), a station (20) for rolling out dough, a station for rolling up the rolled out dough, a station for shaping the rolled up dough by stretching it and at least one conveyor (14, 16) for transferring the dough from the rolling out station (20) to the rolling up station (24) and the shaping station. Each conveyor (14, 16) constitutes a unitary assembly structurally separate from the frame (12) and is mounted on the latter through removable fixing members (130, 132).

Abstract: This invention concerns a dough piece moulder comprising a dough piece sheeting station (20), a station transporting (14,16) sheeted dough pieces along an outgoing path, from the infeed (18) of the transproting station (14,16), located opposite the sheeting station (20) up to an intermediate point, through a station rolling (24) sheeted dough pieces and a return path, through a station shaping rolled dough pieces by elongating them, from the intermediate point up to the outlet of the transporting station located in the proximity of the infeed (18) and whereat the shaped dough pieces are delivered outside the moulder; a transfer station (46) arranged in the proximity of the intermediate point, actively transferring the rolled dough pieces from the outgoing path to the return path.

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.
