Frozen un-proofed dough pieces are produced by cutting a dough sheet into strips and producing a score through an upper skin of each strip with at least one blunt deformation tool prior to freezing. The un-proofed dough pieces are formed by mass production, with an un-proofed dough sheet being cut to form dough strips which are then cut into the un-proofed dough pieces, with the score for each un-proofed dough piece being formed by pressing the upper skin of the dough down into the body of the dough, thereby deforming and pre-stressing the dough to create weak zones, either before, during or after the individual un-proofed dough pieces are actually created, but before freezing. Upon heating, openings are established in the upper skin along score lines.

A taco shell is produced using a rotary cutter including a shaft, an outer blade extending radially outward from the shaft and a first inner blade extending radially outward from the shaft. The outer blade defines an interior area, enclosed by the outer blade, and an exterior area. The first inner blade is located in the interior area and includes a plurality of teeth. A dough piece is cut from a dough sheet with the outer blade, and a first arcuate line of depressions is created in the dough piece with the plurality of teeth. The dough piece is folded to form a shaped dough piece, and the shaped dough piece is baked to produce a hard taco shell.

Methods are disclosed for producing a shaped baked good with a rounded shape. In one embodiment, the methods can include providing a dough comprising a high melting point fat and a granular sugar at a weight ratio of about 1:1 to form a rounded cookie piece that minimizes flattening during baking. The dough may be formed by passing the dough between opposing rollers or press plates to form a web. The web may then be baked, rehydrated, separated, and deflashed to form individual rounded cookie pieces.

A high speed food processing machine providing an improved platen mechanism wherein the device produces more uniform platen pressure across the platens by having multiple hydraulically operated pressure points on the upper platen. The food processing machine is capable of having two belts; one around each platen, to provide more uniform pressure. This uniform pressure allows better heater placement and control. This invention also provides a method of cooling across the platens and removeably attaching the moving belt(s) to the moving platens. An energy storing mechanism assists in the platen movement.

Non-fried instant noodles are manufactured by kneading wheat flour together with water or water containing additives to form a dough, rolling the dough by a rolling device to form a dough sheet, passing the dough sheet between molding rolls having a plurality of pyramid-shaped protrusions formed thereon to form pyramid-shaped recesses in rolled surfaces of the dough sheet, cutting the dough sheet into a plurality of strips such that each of the strips has formed therein at least one row of pyramid-shaped recesses aligned in a longitudinal direction of the strip, boiling the instant noodle strips with steam, and drying the boiled noodle strips with hot air. The thus obtained oil-free instant noodles have superior reconstituting property and transparent appearance, and can give smooth and soft chewiness. Further, the instant noodles are well matched with soup.

Apparatus useful for removing articles cut from a sheet of flexible material includes a gas transmissive conveyor belt that is brought into proximity to the exposed surface of the articles, a suction roll which backs the conveyor belt and has an internal vacuum and passageways for exposing said vacuum to the outer surface of the suction roll in configurations corresponding the leading portions of the articles, and means for causing the passageways to register substantially with the leading regions of the articles. Embodiments may also include passageways which are arcuately arrayed in groups, a cylindrical cutter roll for cutting out the articles from the sheet as it is being transported by a carrier surface, and/or a carrier surface in the form of a roll face.

Sheet products having a waved marginal portion are prepared by passing a sheet of a plastic material through and compressing the sheet between shaped circumferential rollers which are positioned and configured to provide therebetween a plurality of differing nip clearance gap distances and to compress the sheet to form an intermediate sheet portion flanked by a marginal waved flanking portion and a second flanking portion, wherein the intermediate portion has a thickness greater than the second portion which, in turn, has a thickness greater than the marginal waved portion.

Apparatus and methods of fabricating half products in the field of puffed snack piece fabrication are disclosed including a rotary cutter (16) having an opposed pair of rollers (18). At least one of the rollers (18) of the rotary cutter (16) has cavities (112) arranged in a first, central portion (110) which stamp out first pieces and cavities (118) arranged in second and third, boundary portions (114, 116) for stamping out second pieces from the remaining portions of a continuous dough sheet (14). The first pieces are of the desired shape and size for the half products, and the second pieces are of a size and shape mechanically separable from the first pieces. In first preferred forms, the first pieces have tesselated shapes allowing the cavities (112) in the central portion (110) to be in a tight, juxtapositional pattern. In other preferred forms, the second pieces have nontesselated shapes, with pockets (113) of a pyramid shape located in the central portion (110) between the cavities (112) to reduce migration of the scrap material into the cavities (112) while the first pieces are stamped from the continuous dough sheet (14). After stamping, the first and second pieces are dried in an oven (134) and then separated by a separator (136). The dried first pieces form the half product. The dried second pieces can be ground in a grinder (138) and added to the ingredients (120) forming the dough prior to or during mixing in mixer (122). The mixed ingredients (120) are cooked and extruded as dough for formation into a sheet (12) by a sheeting apparatus (124). In the preferred form, the sheet (12) is flipped and aligned into a folded continuous two-ply sheet (14) prior to entering the rotary cutter (16).

Assortments of thin uniformly bakeable, and baked, goods such as biscuits, crackers or cookies are efficiently provided. For example, a uniformly baked sample of chemically leavened laminated buttery-flavored thin crackers can be prepared having about 33 percent by number nickel size items, about 33 percent by number dime size items and the remainder quarter size items on a continuous basis on one production line employing a regularly interposited array formed with an appropriately analogous cutting die.
