Tooling comprising a mould cavity made of porous material, a patty forming machine and mould cavity washing machine comprising such tooling

Abstract

The tooling (10) for forming patties from a food mass comprising: -a mould cavity holder (11); -a mould cavity (12) arranged such that it is received in the mould cavity holder, the mould cavity beingmade of a material porous to a fluid and comprising an internal face (123) defining a patty forming mould (121) and an external face (122) separated from the internal face by a body of porous material; -a means (13) of clamping the mould cavity in the mould cavity holder; and, -a seal (14, 15, 17) placed between the mould cavity and one of the mould cavity holder and the clamping means, the sealbeing arranged such that it forces a pressure fluid, brought to the external face of the body of porous material to pass therethrough to the internal face.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for forming pies from food scraps and a forming and washing machine using the same. Background technique [0002] Streamlining of production lines, particularly in the process of forming patties such as ground beef patties from food pieces such as ground meat, has resulted in different shaped patties being made on the same production line. For this reason, the machines used to produce pies allow the forming molds to be changed between two different production activities, so unused molds need to be cleaned and stored for future reuse. Such a mold is described, for example, in document WO2016 / 146519. However, such molds comprising multiple cavities are presently bulky and heavy, and thus difficult for operators to handle and also difficult to clean. Furthermore, replacing them on the production line requires stopping the production line for a considerable amount of time. Molds were therefore developed in which the cav...
