  • Patent number: 4614489
    Abstract: Apparatus for the simultaneous extrusion from an extrusion discharge station of multiple streams of a food product having fibers therein, from a single mass of the food product, where the desired product spacing between the streams at the extrusion discharge station is less then the greatest expected fiber length. Converging extrusion channels communicate at a channel entry station with a feed container which holds and directs the flow of the mass of food product, and the distance of closest spacing between the extrusion channels at the channel entry station is greater than the average expected fiber length. Bridging of food fibers between adjacent extrusion channels at the entry station is avoided by the large channel entry spacing, while the decreasing distance between the converging channels allows the food product streams at the extrusion discharge station to be spaced at a desired product spacing less then the greatest expected fiber length.
