Methods and apparatuses for cutting dough are described. In one embodiment, a dough cutter includes an inner tube, a shaped plate insert having a shaped plate and a shaft extending from the shaped plate insert, the shaped plate insert having a first end and a second end, the first end of the shaped plate insert adapted to couple to the inner tube, the second end of the shaped plate insert coupled to the shaped plate, and an outer tube having a first end and a second end, the first end of the outer tube adapted to slide over at least a portion of the inner tube and the second end of the outer tube defining a shaped opening for extruding dough, the shaped opening having substantially the same cross-section as the shaped plate. In some embodiments, the shaped plate may have a finite number of lines of symmetry.

A method for automatically forming dough-based products, such as doughnuts involves pressurizing a tank containing dough. The dough is extruded to form a flight of dough-based products. The weight of the flight of dough-based products is measured. The weight data is transmitted to a computer. The measured weight is compared to a predetermined weight stored in the computer memory. The pressure in the tank is adjusted automatically before subsequent extrusions.

An apparatus for converting an unformed quantity of dough into a plurality of uniformly sized and shaped dough bodies has dough divider means for converting an unformed quantity of dough into at least one uniform ribbon of dough, moving the ribbon of dough through an outlet and severing the ribbon of dough into a plurality of uniformly sized pieces at an outlet of the dough divider; and dough forming means communicating with the dough divider means for engaging the ribbon of dough at the outlet of the dough divider means and drawing portions of the ribbon of dough away from the outlet in an initial drawing operation prior to severing the portion of dough from the ribbon of dough.

A compact table-top automatic doughnut making machine for use at lunch counters, in-store bakery counters, small bakeries, and the like, where freshly cooked doughnuts are sold in moderately large volume. The machine is particularly adaptable to varying volume requirements, being adjustable to produce from about 5 dozen to 100 dozen doughnuts per hour. The machine includes a generally rectangular compact tank for containing the cooking fat or oil which is heated by automatic thermostatically controlled means. A removable insert in the tanks defines a circuitous path along which the doughnuts flow in the course of being cooked. A removable dough extruding unit is mounted over one end of the tank to form and drop rings of raw dough into the oil. The dough is moved along the surface of the cooking oil by a propulsion pump inducing a circulating flow of oil as the doughnut is first cooked on one side, turned over automatically, cooked on the other side and discharged from the machine. The machine can be readily disassembled for easy cleaning.

A method and apparatus for making filled products of various shapes and sizes and the products. The products can be toroidal, rings of interconnected knobs, crescent-shaped, spherical or other shapes, each having one or more discrete spots or globs of filling material within. The filling material can be injected in any direction without the product, for example, sidewise along the midline of a toroidal product, or radial in the toroidal product. The amount of filling material and its location within the product can be varied. The filling material flow is controlled by positive and negative pressure.
