The invention relates to a device for producing pad-shaped hollow bodies, that are formed by dividing hot waffle rolls that can be plastically deformed at the baking temperature. At least one pressing device (26, 27, 28) is provided in the frame (16) of the device (15), circulating around a circular path, said pressing device being embodied as mechanically actuatable tongs and divides the waffle rolls into pad-shaped hollow bodies. A rotating support (20) is arranged flat in the frame (16) of the device (15), said rotating support containing the pressing device (1, 26, 27, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41) embodied as tongs and moving along the circular path from an upper receiving position for receiving the waffle rolls to a lower dispensing position for dispensing the pad-shaped hollow bodies.一種用於製造墊狀空心體的裝置,諸空心體係透過對在烘熱後可發生塑性變形的熱威化卷進行切割而產生。此種裝置(15)之支架(16)中設有至少一個沿圓形軌跡環繞的擠壓裝置(26,27,28),此等擠壓裝置施作成為可機械操縱的鉗子,並將諸威化卷分割為墊狀空心體。此裝置(15)之支架(16)中設有平放的旋轉支架(20),此旋轉支架包含施作成為鉗子的擠壓裝置(1,26,27,28,38,39,40,41),該擠壓裝置沿該圓形軌跡自接收諸威化卷的上方接受位置,朝釋放諸墊狀空心體的下方釋放位置進行運動。
