Abstract
An apparatus for automatically feeding and packing surimi of fish or shellfish, including a feed hopper having a top inlet for feeding the surimi therefrom and a bottom outlet for discharging the surimi therefrom. A screw feeder connected to the bottom outlet of the fed hopper has two screws for passing the surimi through the screw feeder. A feed pump feeds a predetermined quantity of the surimi flowing out from an exit of the screw feeder in which the predetermined quantity of the surimi is formed into a desired shape by a forming tube. A wrapping tube forming device forms a plastic film into a continuous wrapping tube to be packed with the surimi.
