ABSTRACT:
A food depositing apparatus for depositing hash brown potato strands includes a plurality of depositing assemblies. Each of the depositing assemblies includes a plurality of outlets. A pump member coupled to the inlets of the depositing assemblies provides pressure to force a potato slurry through the outlets of the depositing assemblies. A plurality of rotary valve components are positioned adjacent the outlets of the depositing assemblies. Each rotary valve component includes a plurality of wiper blades which correspond to the outlets. Each wiper blade has a first state that permits the potato slurry to be forced through the corresponding outlets and a second state that stops the flow of potato slurry to create a hash brown potato strand. A conveyor positioned beneath the outlets carries the formed hash brown potato strands to a drier. The drier dehydrates the formed hash brown potato strands. Changing the speed of rotation of the rotary valve components and/or the size of the wiper blades controls the lengths of hash brown potato strands produced by the depositing apparatus.
