Abstract
Apparatus for molding articles such as patties from plastic food material that tends to shrink during processing cooking and the like, for example ground beef, in which the material is forced under pressure in a stream from a supply into a mold cavity through a passage having opposite side walls at a specific relationship to the stream and to each other and a specific width at the cavity so as to cause mixing, tumbling and kneading of the material in its flow through the passage with the result that the shaped portion when cooked or similarly processed essentially maintains its shape. Thus, if the shaped portion is, for example, a circular patty such as a hamburger patty it substantially maintains its circular shape throughout the processing.
