Abstract
An apparatus for the production of extruded cakes of a paste-form material has an extrusion die nozzle which has combs having toothed profiles pivotally mounted in the lateral and upper portions of the extrusion passage of the extrusion nozzle and to which an alternating rotational movement is imparted to pivot and reciprocate the combs about eccentric axes relative to a central axis of the passage which is in a form of an arch. In operation, due to the configuration of the parts, their positioning and their movement, articles are extruded which have a surface which imitates the bark of a tree.
