ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for extruding composite products, especially food products such as simulated bacon slabs having components representing meat and fat, respectively, that replicate the random pattern of natural bacon slabs. The apparatus has an extrusion die member which, in some embodiments, is rotatably mounted for manual or motorized movement from one selected position of adjustability to another selected position of adjustability about a substantially circular path of adjustability that is preferably visually indexed to indicate the extent of any positional adjustment of the extrusion die from time-to-time. The apparatus may include a standard sausage stuffing machine for controlling movement of the extrusion die. In all embodiments of the die, it is independent of the apparatus in which it is adapted to be installed so as to be easily removable and replaceable relative to such apparatus, but need not be rotatable. In one embodiment of the die, a plurality of elongate extrusion conduits are spaced apart in spiral formation to provide an extruded natural food product having spiral layers of different food materials, such as synthetic pork belly bacon having fat and flesh layers of chicken or turkey white meat and dark meat, respectively.
