Abstract
In a method for molding food products from a pumpable foodstuff mass, use is made of a molding device with a mold drum provided with mold cavities having a fill opening for the introduction of foodstuff mass. A mass feed member transfers mass into passing mold cavities. A pump is connected to the inlet of the mass feed member. Product removal takes place downstream of the fill position. The operation of the pump and the rotation of the mold drum are controlled in combination with the design of the mold cavities pattern on the drum and of the mouth of the mass feed member such that in the method all mold cavity filling events during a revolution of the mold drum are performed in sequential order.
