The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and its object is to make a single thin baked food of a predetermined shape automatically and continuously with a desired thickness. (EN) Provided is a thin-baked food production apparatus which can be manufactured efficiently and does not require a cutting mechanism or the like, which can be downsized and which can reduce the manufacturing cost.

D. Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the thin-baked food production apparatus according to the present invention is a baking roll having a scraper disposed at an end in the direction of rotation, and a lower part of the baking roll. It is composed of the same roll and a hollow rotary roll for transfer arranged at a predetermined interval. In the rotary roll for transfer, a large number of discharge small holes of the paste material have a predetermined shape such as a circle or a square as a whole. And the paste-like discharge nozzle tip is held in contact with the inside of the discharge small hole, and the paste-like material discharged and supplied from the discharge nozzle passes through the discharge small holes of the transfer rotary roll. It is characterized in that a large number of thin-baked foods are intermittently molded by being transferred to the outer peripheral surface of the baking roll in a predetermined shape at regular intervals.
