Abstract
Dough (20) is delivered in a stream through inlet conduit (29) to dough distribution chamber (60) of manifold (10). A spike (52) pierces the oncoming dough stream, and the dough flares radially into an annulus, past adjustable deflectors (42a-42f), and the dough is sliced by dough divider sharps (62) to separate the dough into individual streams of dough that move through delivery conduits (30a-30f). The velocity of dough moving through each delivery conduit (30a-30f) is controlled by the adjustable deflectors (42a-42f) which are positioned at the perimeter of the dough distribution chamber (60).
