Abstract
A method of controlling the weight of cut pieces of dough is disclosed. The method includes determining a target mass loading of a strip of dough, measuring the actual mass loading, comparing the actual and target mass loading values, calculating a calendar roller gap distance which compensates for the rheological properties of the dough and adjusting the gap distance of the last calendar roller pair to equalize the actual and target mass loading values.
