Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) and a corresponding method (200) for thermally treating and forming a food product (FP) into a sheet (S). The apparatus (100) comprises a first extrusion belt (110) and a second extrusion belt (110´). The first extrusion belt (110) and the second extrusion belt (110´) are arranged opposite to each other at a distance such that a longitudinal gap (120) is formed in between. The apparatus (100) further comprises a food product inlet (130), a first thermal element (140) arranged at a back side (114) of the first extrusion belt (110) and a second thermal element (140´) arranged at a back side (114´) of the second extrusion belt (110´). The food product (FP) may be thermally treated and formed into the sheet (S) by being conveyed from the upper end (115) of the longitudinal gap (120) to the lower end (116) thereof.
