A cut-off device is used for providing a deposit of known portion weight of the ground meat or paste. This deposit is dropped accurately onto a conveyor belt for transport to a press wheel the height of which, from the conveyor, can be adjusted to provide a finished product of correct thickness. The press wheel has a system of vacuum ducts around the circumference in four chambers that pull paper from a de-nesting tray situated at the top of the press wheel, at the correct interval as to meet up with the deposit at the base of the wheel. This results in the deposit being pressed to the required thickness onto the conveyor, with the interleave paper attached to the top of the now formed patty.

1. An apparatus for producing patties from a food product, said apparatus comprising: a conveyor configured to move along a first direction from a feed location to an output location;a cut-off device configured to provide portioned deposits onto the conveyor, wherein the deposits each includes a food product;a container configured to hold a plurality of sheets of paper;a press wheel, mounted over the conveyor and spaced at a predetermined distance from the conveyor, wherein the press wheel is rotatable and configured to press one of the plurality of deposits to form a plurality of patties of the food product on the conveyor, the patties having a thickness based on the predetermined distance, wherein the press wheel is further configured to receive a sheet of paper from the container and to provide the sheet of paper onto one of the plurality patties; anda sensor system configured to synchronize an operation of the cut-off device and the press wheel such that as the press wheel rotates to form a plurality of patties on the conveyor one sheet of paper is provided to each of the plurality of patties while the sensor system continues to trigger the cut-off device, wherein the press wheel is configured to press one of the plurality of deposits and provide the sheet of paper onto one of the plurality of patties simultaneously. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a roller and wire to flip one of the plurality of patties by 180 degrees after the one of the plurality of patties has been formed with the sheet of paper on top, such that the one of the plurality of patties is thereafter on top of the sheet of paper. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a stacking tray configured to receive at least one of the plurality of flipped patties. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the stacking tray is configured to receive the at least one of the plurality of flipped patties until a number of patties in the stacking tray exceeds a predetermined number. 5. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the stacking tray is configured to receive the at least one of the plurality of flipped patties until a total height of patties in the stacking tray exceeds a predetermined height. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the conveyor is configured to move at a circumferential speed of the press wheel, thus ensuring that each of the plurality of patties is moving at a substantially same speed as the circumferential speed of the press wheel. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sensor system includes a servo drive placed on one of the press wheel or the conveyor. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a lift plate configured to control a thickness of the one of the plurality of patties. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the press wheel includes means for holding sheets of paper to the press wheel as the press wheel is rotated. 10. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the sensor system is further configured to trigger the stacking tray to stack the plurality of patties. 11. An apparatus comprising: a conveyor configured to move along a first direction;a cut-off device configured to provide a deposit onto the conveyor;a sensor system configured to trigger the cut-off device to provide the deposit onto the conveyor; anda press wheel, spaced at a predetermined distance from the conveyor, configured to press the deposit to form a patty, having a predetermined thickness based on the predetermined distance, on the conveyor, wherein the press wheel is further configured to receive a sheet of paper from a container and to provide the sheet of paper over a top of the patty such that as the press wheel rotates, the sheet of paper is provided for the press wheel while the sensor system triggers the cut-off device, wherein the press wheel is configured to press the deposit and provide the sheet of paper onto the patty simultaneously. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the press wheel is configured to receive the sheet of paper from the container using a vacuum system coupled to the press wheel. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the vacuum system is configured to pull sheets of paper from the container one at a time and to place the sheet of paper onto the press wheel. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the vacuum system includes a plurality of ducts around its circumference, and wherein the ducts are configured to couple to the vacuum system to hold the sheet of paper as the press wheel is rotated. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the sensor system is configured to synchronize the cut-off device and the vacuum system.
