  • Publication number: 20100055272
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and moulding devices for moulding three-dimensional products from a mass of foodstuff which is suitable for human consumption, in particular from a mass of meat, in particular chicken. The method comprises filling a mould cavity with a portion of the mass under the influence of a filling pressure exerted on the mass and for a filling period via a filling opening associated with the mould cavity, closing the filling opening of the mould cavity and holding the mass in the mould cavity for a fixing period. Then, the mould cavity is opened and the moulded product is removed from the mould cavity. The method uses fixing-pressure-exerting means which are designed to exert a fixing pressure which acts on the mass in the mould cavity after the filled mould cavity has been closed.

  • Patent number: 7029387
    Abstract: In a device, assembly and method for separating meat from bone parts, at least a chamber (2) is provided for receiving bone parts which are connected to meat, having a first open end (4) and a second open end (5) which is located opposite the first open end (4), a plunger (7), first displacement means for displacing the plunger (7) inside the chamber (2) from the first open end (4) thereof, and a stop element (13) at the second open end (5) for creating a closed space (3) together with the chamber (2) and the plunger (7). A pressure is applied to the bone parts by displacing the plunger (7) in the chamber (2). The stop element (13) is arranged at a distance from the chamber (2), so that at least one gap (15) is formed between the chamber (2) and the stop element (13), for the passage of meat which has been separated from the bone parts under the influence of pressure.
