Abstract

See full text

An twisted pretzel producing apparatus has a conveyor with a surface for receiving and transporting a rope of dough. An anvil engages the rope of dough so that continued conveyor movement form a curved dough portion. A twister assembly grabs the two ends of the rope of dough and rotates to form a twisted section of dough. The twister assembly includes a set of plungers that press the two ends against the curved portion to form a twisted pretzel. The exact location and degree to which the ends are pressed against the curved portion are randomly varied so that each pretzel has a different appearance as occurs with pretzels made by hand.
