A moveable mould member is configured for use in an installation for moulding food products from a pumpable foodstuff mass. The mould member has a permeable mould body with an outer surface forming at least part of the outer mould member surface, which outer surface of the permeable mould body is fluid tight; mould cavities and a permeable volume defining fine openings opening out at the mould cavities, such that each mould cavity of the permeable mould body is delimited at least in part by a permeable volume. In addition, the mould drum has, for each group of mould cavities from which food products are to be ejected simultaneously, an ejection fluid inlet allowing the entry of pressurized fluid, and one or more channels extending from the associated ejection fluid inlet to the one or more permeable volumes of the group of mould cavities.

Movable mould member for moulding food products

The production of three-dimensional products from a mass of pumpable fibrous foodstuff material includes feeding the mass into a chamber via an inlet. A perforated plate is stationary arranged at an outlet side and has a multitude of perforations therein between an inlet face and an opposed outlet face. A flow channels assembly include multiple flow channels. Each flow channel receives therein strands of fibrous foodstuff material emerging at an outlet face from a subset of the multitude of perforations. The strands merge into a coherent bundle, in which the strands are arranged against one another in a generally parallel orientation. A production device is arranged at the discharge mouths of the flow channels assembly, which production device is configured and operated to produce three-dimensional products, each product out of a portion of a bundle that is discharged from one of the discharge mouths.

A tooling for forming patties from a food mass includes a mould cavity holder; a mould cavity arranged such that it is received in the mould cavity holder, the mould cavity being made of a material porous to a fluid and including an internal face defining a patty forming mould and an external face separated from the internal face by a body of porous material; a clamp for clamping the mould cavity in the mould cavity holder; and a seal placed between the mould cavity and one of the mould cavity holder and the clamp. The seal is arranged such that it forces a pressure fluid, brought to the external face of the body of porous material to pass therethrough to the internal face.

The invention relates to a method and device for producing portions from a strand (B), in particular for the production of sausages, comprising at least one pair of opposing clamps () that can be moved towards one another by actuating means, from an open position to a closed position in order to clamp the strand. Each clamp comprises clamping means () that can he maneuvered by the aforementioned actuating means () in order to clamp the strand onto a central strand segment, and subsequently to clamp the strand onto side strand segments on each side of the central segment.

Portioning method and device comprising particular clamps

The invention relates to a method and a device for the production of portions from at least one continuous strand of a food product, in particular for the production of meatballs. The machine comprises: an extrusion device which can deliver a continuous strand in a vertical direction, and a portioning device that includes at least one cutting system. The cutting system comprises cutting elements () which can be moved transversely to the vertical direction between an open position, in which the strand passes between the cutting elements, and a closed position for cutting the strand and forming portions of the food product. In addition, each cutting system comprises ejection means () for ejecting the forming portions downwards from the cutting elements. The ejection means include at least one lower channel () that is fluidly connected to a compressed fluid such that compressed fluid can be injected into the lower channel when the lower channel is in a closed position. The lower channel is formed in a body of the corresponding cutting element.

Method and machine for the production of portions, including means for ejecting said portions

A machine including a supply of gelling agent (), a supply of acidic buffer solution (), a third supply of food inlet () connected to a source of food (), a mixer () connected to the gelling agent and acidic buffer solution supplies, for delivering a mixture of gelling agent and acidic buffer solution, and a co-extruder () fed with food () and with said mixture, for extruding the food at the center and the mixture at the periphery, so as to obtain the expected food product at the outlet.

Sausage production machine comprising a device for the coagulation of the sausage casing and production line comprising said machine

The present invention relates to a device for forming batches of products to be loaded into receptacles, including: a conveyer having housings including two links supporting a plurality of pallets defining housings between same: a supply conveyer arranged substantially perpendicular to the housing conveyer and capable of transporting products one behind the other and of supplying at least one product in each housing to a loading station via one Open lateral side of said housings, the housing conveyer being provided with abutment means arranged on the lateral side of the housing opposite the supply conveyer and used as an abutment for the product to be loaded into each housing: and unloading means capable of simultaneously unloading a batch of products from a series of housings of the housing conveyer at an unloading station.
