  • Food portioning system
    Publication number: 20060013915
    Abstract: A food portioning system to efficiently output portion food material, the system including a hopper, a mold plate, air knockout assembly, and air and hydraulic cylinders. Flowable food material is put into the hopper where it is pushed into the mold cavity of the mold plate. By the action of the air and hydraulic cylinders, the mold plate is driven to a knockout position where the air knockout assembly releases compressed air onto the mold cavity to knock out the portioned food from the mold cavity.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 15, 2005
    Publication date: January 19, 2006
    Inventors: James Azzar, Stevens Steketee
