Abstract
Chopped food such as ground beef or ground pork or sauce is cooked and maintained at an elevated temperature. An agitator is provided to stir up and dispense solid food pieces uniformly in the liquid phase. A pump connected to the agitator expells the uniform dispersion at a constant rate to a vibrating tray feeder. The feeder advances the food product as a fluid sheet which is allowed to fall from the edge of the feeder as a uniform continuously descending curtain onto the food base. Material that falls beyond the edges of the food base is recycled.
