Abstract
An apparatus supplies food paste material sheets at a predetermined interval on a surface moving at a predetermined speed. The apparatus includes a horizontally arranged first roller adapted to be rotated to receive a continuous food paste material sheet on the circumferential surface thereof; means for severing the continuous sheet on the circumferential surface at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction into a plurality of sheet segments or the above-stated sheets; a first peeler means provided at a predetermined position on the lower half portion of the circumferential surface of the first roller for peeling off the severed sheet segments from the circumferential surface which segments have been successively brought to the above-noted predetermined position; and a second horizontally arranged roller provided under the first roller. The second roller is adapted to be rotated to sequentially receive the sheet segments from the first roller. The apparatus includes a second peeler means for peeling off the sheet segments from the second roller to supply them onto the above-noted moving surface. The second roller includes means provided on the circumferential surface thereof for receiving a leading portion of each of the sheet segments which has moved vertically down from the first roller so as to position and hold the leading portion.
