Abstract:
A method for producing a cylindrical food having multiple concentric layers, said method comprising:shaping a food paste into a set of rectangular sheets having varying lengths such that an earlier produced rectangular sheet of the set has a smaller length than a later produced rectangular sheet of the set;conveying the set of rectangular sheets along a conveying path such that the rectangular sheets are spaced a predetermined distance from each other and such that a leading edge and a trailing edge of each of the rectangular sheets are perpendicular to the conveying path;winding the rectangular sheets, successively, around a bar positioned perpendicularly to the conveying path so that the bar is free to rotate and free to move vertically relative to the conveying path, such that each rectangular sheet begins wrapping, as a function of the predetermined distance between each rectangular sheet, only after the preceding rectangular sheet has been completely wound with the leading edge abutting the trailing edge.
