Abstract
An apparatus (10) for rolling sheets (S) of dough for bakery products (P) has a simplified structure and optimum efficiency and comprises a pair of shaping rollers (17, 19), arranged transversely with respect to the direction of forward movement (A) of the dough sheets (S), with axes of rotation (R1, R2) essentially parallel to the surface (12) on which the dough sheets (S) are conveyed and defining a first shaping surface (18), located at a short distance from the conveying surface (12), in such a way as to lift the dough sheet (S), and a second shaping surface (20) approximately tangential to the first surface (18), the second shaping roller (19) being located in such a way as to define a rolling space (21) whose transverse dimensions are roughly comparable to those of the shaped bakery product (P).
