ABSTRACT:
A portion control apparatus is provided for receiving a food product and discharging the product in portions of predetermined size. This apparatus has a housing with an inlet, an outlet, a first and second chamber and a passageway connecting the inlet, outlet and chambers. The apparatus also includes a valve disposed in the passageway and movable between a first and second position. In the first position, the valve allows communication between the inlet and the first chamber and between the outlet and the second chamber. In the second position, the valve allows communication between the inlet and the second chamber and between the outlet and the first chamber. Two positions mounted in the housing for reciprocating movement and connected by a rod limit the amount of food product which each chamber receives and move the product out of each chamber and out of the apparatus through the outlet in an orderly sequence.
