Abstract

See full text

An object is to provide a method and an apparatus for lapping strip-shaped food dough onto a transporting unit without repeatedly applying tension or relaxation. A method of lapping food dough in which strip-shaped food dough being continuously conveyed is lapped onto the transporting unit configured to transport the food dough in a direction intersecting a conveyance direction of the food dough. The method includes the steps of conveying the conveyed food dough 9 to a swing guide member 137 through a swing conveyor 135 swingable in a vertical direction, the swing guide member provided at a tip end of the swing conveyor 135 so as to be swingable in a direction being horizontal and intersecting a transportation direction of the transporting unit 15, and always maintaining an almost constant clearance between a tip end of the swing guide member 137 and a transport surface of the transporting member 15 and thereby maintaining an almost constant length of the food dough 9 from a base end of the swing conveyor 135 to the transport surface of the transporting unit 15.
