Patent

CA 2200309

Apparatus (10) is disclosed including first and second forming rollers (18, 21) which rotatably abut with an anvil roller (20). The forming rollers (18, 21) each include a periphery forming a continuous forming surface including a plurality of axially and circumferentially spaced grooves (24) each formed as a continuous depression arranged in a serpentine and non-intersecting manner. Food (14) is simultaneously fed between a continuous strip of support material (16) and a continuous ribbon of film material (66) as they pass between a first abutment nip of the first forming roller (18) and the anvil roller (20). After extending partially around the periphery of the first forming roller (18), the materials (16, 66) and the food therebetween pass around an adjustable idler roller (70) to between a second abutment nip of the second forming roller (21) and the anvil roller (20). The food (14) compressed upon the support material (16) by the first abutment nip is in phase with the grooves (24) of the second abutment nip. The film material (66) removes the food (14) from the grooves (24) and can be discarded after passing through the second abutment nip and prior to the support material (16) being cut to longitudinal lengths and widths between the embossed shapes of food (14).

L'appareil (10) comprend des premier et second rouleaux de formation (18, 21) qui tournent en s'appuyant contre un rouleau enclume (20). Les rouleaux de formation (18,21) présentent une périphérie définissant une surface de formation continue présentant plusieurs rainures espacées axialement et circonférentiellement (24), chacune d'elles étant formée comme une dépression continue en serpentin en sans intersection. La matière alimentaire (14) est amenée simultanément entre une bande continue d'un matériau de support (16) et un ruban continu d'un matériau pellicule (66) lorsque ces matériaux passent entre un premier pincement du premier rouleau de formation (18) et le rouleau enclume (20). Après étalement partiel autour de la périphérie du premier rouleau de formation (18), les matériaux (16, 66) et la matière alimentaire se trouvant entre les deux passent autour d'un rouleau libre réglable (70) puis sont acheminés vers un second pincement défini par le second rouleau de formation (21) et le rouleau enclume (20). La matière alimentaire (14) comprimée sur le matériau support (16) par le premier pincement est en phase avec les rainures (24) du second pincement. Le matériau film (66) enlève la matière alimentaire (14) des rainures (24) puis est jeté après être passé par le second pincement et avant de couper le matériau support (16) aux longueurs et largeurs appropriées des formes des produits alimentaires (14).
