CA 2087219

A food depositing apparatus (10) for depositing hash brown potato strands (34) having varying lengths includes a plurality of depositing assemblies (24). Each of the depositing assemblies (24) includes a plurality of outlets (80). A pump member (17) coupled to the inlets (48) of the depositing assemblies (24) provide pressure to force a potato slurry (14) through the outlets (80) of the depositing assemblies (24). A plurality of rotary valve components (102) are positioned adjacent the cutlets (80) of the depositing assemblies (24). Each rotary valve component (102) includes a plurality of wiper blades (130) which correspond to the outlets. Each wiper blade (130) has a first state that permits the potato slurry (14) to be forced through the corresponding outlets (80) and a second state that stops the flow of potato slurry (14) to create a hash brown potato strand. A conveyor positioned beneath the outlets (80) carries the formed hash brown potato strands (34) to a drier (40). The drier (40) dehydrates the formed hash brown potato strands (34). Changing the speed of rotation of the rotary valve components (102) and/or the size of the wiper blades (130) controls the lengths of hash brown potato strands (34) produced by the depositing apparatus (10).
