the heating plate or the waffle strip that forms is indicated in the drawing by arrows »The dough mass gets into the effective area of the heating rod 2 and the length of time that the heating rod should act on the mass» is set by the speed at which the heating plate rotates.

The heating device thus allows a waffle strip to be produced from the dough mass supplied and this continuously to be heated, it being noteworthy that this can be achieved according to FIG. 1 with very little effort.

As long as the wafer strip is still hot and thus malleable, it passes out of the active area of the Heistab 2 ₁ into the downstream folding device, which is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.

This folding device consists of two folding devices connected in series. The first folding device consists of a thin metal baffle whose edges 4. and 4 _g on the inlet side extend parallel to the plane of the heating plate 1 »that is horizontally and are twisted in the conveying direction until they extend vertically at the end, so that the overflow Wafer strip is folded in the longitudinal direction in such a way that the underside of the wafer strip provided with the waffle embossing of the heating plate lies on the outside in the folded waffle strip.

At the end of the _{first folding device formed by the deflection plate 4 1} and 4 _g , the once folded wafer strip arrives in the active area of two transport rollers 5, 5 and 5 ₂ , of which at least one is driven. The two transport rollers 5, 5 and 5 transport the once folded wafer strip into a second folding device, which consists of a deflection plate 6, the edges of which extend vertically on the inlet side and into one at the end

horizontal position are twisted against each other. In this second Folding device, the wafer strip, which has already been folded once, is folded a second time in the longitudinal direction, so that it now has the four times the thickness of the original waffle strip or has four layers.

The waffle strip folded twice in this way now comes in between the two rollers 7 and 8, of which one roller 7 is a pressure roller while the other roller 8 is designed as a cutting roller and has the cutting edges shown in FIG. 3, which cut out waffles of a certain profile from the wafer strip.

In the embodiment, as can be seen from Figure 3, the cutting edges are laid out in such a way that quarters of a circle are cut out of the double-folded wafer strip, but the one limiting radius is not cut but through the folded edge of the wafer strip is formed.

In the illustrated embodiment, the wafer strip is picked up directly at the end of the heating rod 2 and guided to the folding device. Under certain circumstances it is expedient to move the wafer strips from the curved structure into a straighter or a straight structure before they are introduced into the folding device stretch. Such a stretching system can be interposed with the heating device and the folding device and it could be formed from rollers between which the wafer strip passes, it being expedient for one of these rollers to be conical is. The stretching system could also have the shape of a narrow channel through which the wafer strips are driven and in which the curved shape of the wafer strip is increasingly straightened as it passes through.

- 3 - P 23 303 In the drawing shows Figure 1, seen schematically from above, a front direction according to the invention, Pigur 2 schematically shows the side view of the fold device from Figure 1 and FIG. 3 shows the folding device from FIG. 2 from above seen, see also in Figure 1, however on a smaller scale, is indicated. A heating plate 1, which is ring-shaped, is _{rotatably mounted about the axis I 1} and can be adjusted vertically. The heating plate is provided with circular grooves or another embossed waP-fel pattern, which is imprinted into the dough mass when it spreads on the heating plate. To this end, it must be noted that it is not important for the purposes of the invention _r that the heating plate is realized in this way. The heating plate can, for example, also be a rotating cylinder which constantly receives the dough mass from which the wafer strip is formed on its periphery. Opposite the heating plate 1, namely on the side provided with the waffle pattern, there is a longitudinal direction of the heating plate or over most of the circumference of the heating plate extending heating rod 2 arranged stationary. The dough flows continuously from a fixed movement s upward in front of the heating rod 2 arranged nozzle on the heating plate and spreads on this αα <3.
