Publication number: 20190289862Abstract: A moulding device and a method for moulding food products from a mass of foodstuff which can be transferred by pumping are provided. The device includes a stationary frame with a revolving moulding drum assembly having a peripheral surface in which mould cavities are provided, and a mass feed device including a shoe member with a filling mouth adjoining the peripheral surface of the moulding drum assembly in order to fill said cavities with the foodstuff as they move past. In operation, the pressurized mass of foodstuff introduced into a mould cavity causes an outward force onto said shoe member. A non-revolving component is provided, concentrically supported by the moulding drum assembly, including the shoe member and an interconnected moulding drum assembly engaging counterforce element to counteract the entire outward force exerted by the pressurized foodstuff on the shoe member.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2017Publication date: September 26, 2019Applicant: MAREL FURTHER PROCESSING B.V.Inventors: Franciscus Quirinus Fredrik VEROUDEN, Dirk MESKENDAHL, Johannes Martinus MEULENDIJKS, Wilhelmus Johannes Jacobus Maria VAN DER STRAATEN

Publication number: 20190289863Abstract: Many different designs of fillet boards exist in the related art. One problem associated with processing fish is the problem of keeping a fish in a stable position to execute fillet cuts. The subject invention is an improved Fish Fillet Board and Method of Use. The subject invention relates to the field of fishing and fish processing. The subject invention utilizes a gill bracket, which secures a fish in proper position for the user to execute the first side fillet cut. Once the first side fillet cut is completed, the user then positions the appropriate number of spacers to level the fish for the second side fillet cut. Levelling of the fish significantly decreases the difficulty of the second side fillet cut, and decreases the potential of wasted meat due to an inaccurate fillet cut.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2017Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventor: Edward Gabriels
