ABSTRACT:
A molding apparatus and method for molding patties of ground raw meat and the like that has a hopper for holding a supply of the meat, a mold having a patty shaped mold cavity, a ram equipped pressure chamber into which the meat is moved from the hopper and from which it is forced into a patty shaped mold cavity in the mold, means for moving the mold between a filling position for the cavity and an ejecting position for removal of the patty from the cavity and a lever system for moving the mold, meat transfer means in the hopper and the pressure ram all without substantial lost motion in order to avoid noise pollution that is an unwelcome side effect of machines such as patty molding machines that use such lost motion connections to provide pauses between relatively operating parts.
The disclosure also includes an apparatus for applying a separator sheet to each of a series of molded articles such as meat patties ejected in a path in which a movable carrier having sheet engaging means is movable through a path to withdraw a sheet from a supply and move the sheet into a supporting frame in which the carrier is directly connected to and operated by the movable mold having a mold cavity therein for shaping the article.
