Abstract:
A method of operating a device for preparing a formed food product includes receiving at a controller (62) an input (70) indicating one or more parameters of the formed food product, molding a portion of a food composition into a shape corresponding to the desired form in response to receiving the input (70), and separating the molded food composition from a non-molded portion of the food composition in response to receiving the input (70) to create the formed food product having a desired thickness.
Abstract:
An installation for moulding of three dimensional products from a mass of pumpable foodstuff material, for example from ground meat, wherein the installation comprises: • - a pump (5) having at least one pump chamber, an inlet, and an outlet for the foodstuff mass, • - a pump drive (MP), • - a moulding device (20) comprising a mould member (22) having multiple mould cavities (25), and a mould member drive (MD) for moving the mould member along a path, said path including a fill position of a mould cavity where mass is filled into a mould cavity and a product release position of a mould cavity where a moulded product is released from the mould cavity, • - a mass feed member (30) having a chamber with an inlet and a discharge mouth facing the mould member at the fill position along the path of the mould member, the mass feed member being adapted to transfer the foodstuff mass into a mould cavity of the mould member in a corresponding mould cavity filling event that is defined by the moment of first flow of foodstuff mass into the mould cavity and the moment wherein the mould cavity has been fully filled and flow of foodstuff mass therein is terminated.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for forming a product from a food mass, the system comprising a mould member, e.g. a mould drum with an axis of rotation and a feed pump.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Le Procédé de fabrication et de transformation de viande hachée selon l'invention comprend les étapes consistant à: -assurer une présentation en continu de ladite viande hachée (2a) sous forme d'une bande aplatie (2b); -déposer la bande aplatie de viande (2b) entre deux feuilles (8a, 9a)de film à perméabilité contrôlée; -égaliser l'épaisseur et étaler la viande hachée disposée entre les deux feuilles; -dérouler en continu dans un bain de solution de déshydratation –salage (14) la bande de viande; -dérouler en continu dans un bain de solution de pasteurisation (15) la bande de viande; -dérouler en continu dans une cuve de rinçage(16) la bande de viande; -enlever, en sortie de la cuve de rinçage (16), les feuilles; -acheminer la bande de viande (2e) vers un convoyeur de sortie(21).
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a food forming apparatus to produce patties with a form member which comprises moulds in which the patties are formed, whereas the form member is located adjacent to a pressure member and is at least partially made from a porous material.
Abstract:
The invention provides a patty-forming machine with many improvements The machine includes a servo motor mold plate mechanism with improved swing links and reducer. The machine also includes a servomotor dnven knockout apparatus wherein the servomotor dnves a cam and lever arrangement. A food system uses an integrated and compact motor and gearbox assemblies to dnve the feed screws, and modular bearing assemblies on the shafts of the feed screws. The feed screws have heavy wall thickness flights. A sealed drum motor housed in the dnve roller dnves the hopper conveyor. The food system utilizes independent sensing means for indicating whenever the moldable food material accumulated at said one end of the hopper exceeds a given level. The cooling system with two fans and automatically closing dampers is improved and its placement and arrangement within the machine is optimized to save space and improve circulation.
