Abstract

See full text

An extruder for extruding a foodstuff terminates in an extrusion head having a product outlet die and having a feed duct pipe for feeding a foodstuff filler material into the foodstuff extruded through the head so that the extruded foodstuff encases the filler material so that a foodstuff-encased product passes through the outlet die. A shaper is positioned for receiving the encased product directly from the die outlet and has an inner rotatable ring body mold and outer rotatable annulus molds, wherein the outer annulus molds are positioned about and off-center of and are rotatable with the ring mold so that upon rotation, the annulus molds and ring mold body converge for shaping the encased product and then the annulus molds separate from the shaped product. A cooling system is positioned for receiving the shaped product and cooling the shaped product.
