Abstract: The device for forming a dough band (2) from a dough mass (3), comprises chambers (5) for the reception of the mass and for the delivery of the band formed from the dough mass, formed by external limiting elements. The chamber comprises a circular cylindrical, drum-like chamber interior area, where the cylinder axis is horizontally arranged. The external limiting elements of the chamber comprise a means that is formed to held and/or to set the mass in a rotation movement to the circular cylindrical axis so that the band is formed from the rotating mass. The device for forming a dough band (2) from a dough mass (3), comprises chambers (5) for the reception of the mass and for the delivery of the band formed from the dough mass, formed by external limiting elements. The chamber comprises a circular cylindrical, drum-like chamber interior area, where the cylinder axis is horizontally arranged. The external limiting elements of the chamber comprise a means that is formed to held and/or to set the mass in a rotation movement to the circular cylindrical axis so that the band is formed from the rotating mass. The base- and/or the cover area of the chamber areas is formed through a circular disc and/or the mantle surface is formed by two conveyor belt devices (6, 7) having circular-line segment-shaped conveyor stretch in cross-section in the direction of chamber interior as external limiting elements that are arranged against each other related to the cylindrical axis. The conveyor belt device is formed with a flouring device for flouring the mass. The chamber comprises an opening for the reception of the mass and an opening for delivering the band formed from the mass, and/or the band is formable as continuous band. The openings are formed on the mantle surface of the chamber interior area, and/or the openings for the delivery of band is arranged vertically to a rotation plain of the base- and/or cover surface of the chamber interior area defined through the rotation plain. A conveyor band device (8) for transporting the band is arranged in connection at the opening of the chamber for the delivery of the band. The flouring device is arranged in the area of the conveyor band device. A cutting- or paring device for the separation of the band from the mass is arranged on and/or in the area of the opening for delivering the band. The cutting- or paring device is a cutting- or paring device based on an ultrasound- and/or laser- and/or water jet- and/or band saw- and/or mechanical active principal. A measuring device for measuring the flow and/or volume flow of the band formed from the mass is arranged in and/or on the area of the opening of the chamber for the delivery of the band. The measuring device is formed as weighing belt or the operation of the cutting- or paring device is adaptable in dependent upon the measurement through the measuring device. The device comprises a funnel (4) for position-filling of the chamber with the mass and/or the funnel is formed through a circular disc. An independent claim is included for a method for forming a dough band from a dough mass.
