Abstract

Systems and processes may include an automated dough divider for bakery products, such as cookies. The dough divider may include a roller. The roller may include a drum mounted on a shaft such that the drum may rotate on the shaft. An external radial surface of the drum may include a plurality of points or stylus stamps to produce holes in a dough sheet. Producing holes in a dough sheet may inhibit the dough from swelling or increasing in volume. The drum may include at least one longitudinal blade, extending along a length of the drum to transversely cut a dough sheet coming from a rolling mill train, and at least one peripheral blade to longitudinally cut the dough sheet. Rectangular and quadrangular sections of dough may be created using the longitudinal blades and peripheral blades.
