A rework assist belt system for use on a sheeting head used to form masa dough into thin sheets improves the final product by preventing contamination with fragments of rework dough. The rework assist belt system prevents rework from prematurely detaching from the front roller by moving in synchrony with the front roller so that the rework is held between the belt and the front roller. The rework is carried to the top of the front roller where it is disgorged into a dough hopper and mixed with other dough therein.

A rework assist belt system to ensure that pieces of rework dough do not mix with a product, the rework assist belt system comprising: at least two shafts, the first shaft located near a top of a roller of a dough sheeting device and the second shaft located near a front stripping means, at least one of the shafts acting as a driving shaft with driving means for revolving the driving shaft in synchrony with the roller, the shafts parallel to said roller and further comprising adjustment means for repositioning the second shaft in relation to the front roller; and a belt member, formed as a closed-loop flexible belt, with said shafts drivingly in contact with an inner surface of the belt member so that the belt member travels endlessly around the shafts with an outer surface of the belt member in close proximity to a forward-facing region of the roller from a region near the front stripping means to a region near the top of the roller so as to assist the rework dough in traveling to the top of the roller.
