Abstract: A thickness control system for a high speed tortilla sheeting machine can adjust a pinch point gap between a pair of sheeting rollers to maintain a generally uniform thickness of the produced “masa” (i.e., corn dough) sheet. The sheeting machine can include a pinch point gap adjustment device which guides at least one of the rollers through an arcuate path to thereby adjust a magnitude of the pinch point gap. The controller can direct one or more actuators to change the position of the roller along the archive path to thereby change the distance between the two sheeting rollers as desired to produce a masa sheet at the desired preset thickness.

Abstract: A sheeter can include a discharge conveyor mounted to be laterally translatable so as to allow a user to stand close to the discharge side of the dough sheeter and access those components. The discharge conveyor can be mounted to a guide assembly configured to accommodate lateral movement of the discharge conveyor. The guide assembly can include nesting, primary and secondary guide assemblies.

Abstract: A masa processing system can include a sheeter and a pivotable support assembly. The sheeter can be configured to receive a feed of masa. The pivotable support assembly can include a post having a lower fixed end and an upper end and a pivotable assembly coupled with the upper end of the post. The pivotable assembly can include a pivot member rotatably coupled with the post and being pivotable about a vertical axis and a transverse support having a first end coupled with the pivot member and a second end opposite the first end. The pivotable support assembly can be configured to rotate about the vertical axis between a first position in which the second end of the transverse support is disposed over the sheeter and a second position in which the second end of the transverse support is disposed away from the sheeter.

Abstract: A sheeter can include a cutting roller having a driveshaft and a removeable a cutting sleeve. The removeable cutting sleeve can simplify the process for replacing the cutting surface of a cutting roller. Additionally, the sheeter can include a mounting arrangement that supports the driveshaft of the cutting roller in a cantilevered manner, and an access portion allowing the removal sleeves to be pulled off of the driveshaft without removing the driveshaft from the sheeter.

Abstract: A conveyor system can include a first side member and a second side member, a top conveyor portion, a middle conveyor portion and a bottom conveyor portion. The top conveyor portion can extend along an inclined section and a horizontal section and can include a top conveyor belt driven by a top motor and supported by a top return roller. The middle conveyor portion can be positioned below the top conveyor portion and can include a middle conveyor belt driven by a middle motor and supported by a middle return roller. The bottom conveyor portion can be positioned below the middle conveyor portion and can include a bottom conveyor belt driven by a bottom motor and supported by a bottom return roller.

Abstract: A multi-deck burner assembly for a conveyor-type oven can include a central manifold feeding fuel to upstream and downstream arrays of burners. Other burner assemblies can include pilot burners disposed at approximately a midway point along a longitudinal direction of the burners, thereby enabling the use of longer burners, and thus more efficient burner assembly design. Some burner assemblies can include both a centrally located manifold feeding upstream and downstream arrays and pilot burners disposed at approximately midpoints along the longitudinal lengths of both the upstream and downstream arrays.
