ABSTRACT:
A food product molding mechanism for producing rod-shaped food products such as sausages, which may be implemented by conversion tooling in a reciprocal mold plate food patty molding machine, comprises an aligned assembly of N mold tubes mounted in alignment with a fill passage that supplies a moldable food product to the mold tubes. The mechanism further includes front and rear drawbars interconnected in fixed spaced relation by guide rods that guide the drawbars for reciprocal movement, along a mold path, between a fill position and a discharge position. N front mold rods project from the front drawbar toward the mold tubes; N rear mold rods project from the rear drawbar into the mold tubes. The spacing between facing ends of the two mold rods for each mold tube is less than the mold tube length. With the mold rod assembly in its fill position both mold rods project into each mold tube and determine the length of the food product; for the discharge position of the mold rod assembly each rear mold rod projects completely through its mold tube and the food products are all displaced completely out of the mold tubes.
