CPC classification number: A23P30/10 , A22C7/0038
Abstract: A method of moulding products from a mass of food stuff. The method includes providing a pump, which pumps the mass towards a mould member, providing detection means, which detects unwanted objects in the mass, removing a portion of the mass via a valve in case an unwanted object is detected, moving a mould cavity, which is part of the mould member past a feed channel, wherein the feed channel is connected to a feed pump, filling the mass into the mould cavity to form a product until a predetermined filling pressure is reached, ejecting a gas through a porous sidewall and/or a porous bottom of the mould cavity to eject the product, wherein no ejection gas is provided when the predetermined filling pressure has not been reached.

IPC: A22C7/00
Abstract: A system that includes: a production device, a cleaning apparatus, and conveyor means. The production device includes: a mould drum with cavities; a mass feed means for feeding food mass to the cavities; and a gas pressure source to force the products from the cavities. The cleaning apparatus connects to a cleaning fluid source and includes: a control system that controls cleaning of the mould drum; means to clean an outer circumference of the mould drum; means to move the mould drum and/or means to move the means to clean the outer circumference of the mould drum during the cleaning; a collection trough to collect the cleaning fluid, and a cover. The control device automatically controls the cleaning such that the cleaning of the outer circumference of the mould drum takes place while and/or after the cavities are rinsed.
