Abstract
A process of inserting a stick into a meat patty, which is formed in a food product forming apparatus. The process includes inserting the stick at least partially into the meat patty while a drum of the food product forming apparatus rotates and the stick is moved for insertion into the meat patty by an insertion unit. While the stick is inserted into at least one cavity in one of the rows of cavities, another at least one cavity in another one of the rows of cavities is simultaneously filled with the meat patty. The step of inserting the stick takes place during a co-rotational movement of the drum and the insertion unit, while the drum rotates from a filling position to a discharge position.
