ABSTRACT:
An endless conveyor transporting a plurality of juxtaposed shaping plates containing apertures therethrough is positioned such that a lower horizontal run of the shaping plates is positioned above and in alignment with a portion of an upper horizontal run of a belt conveyor and such that a lower surface of the plates abut the upper run of the belt conveyor for forming, by reason of the plate apertures and belt conveyor surface, article shaping cells. Means are provided for filling the cells with material to be formed into individual articles. The plates containing material in the cells are transported to a movable ejector unit having pistons which correspond in number, arrangement and shape with the number, arrangement and shape of the apertures of the plates. Upon engagement of a plate with the ejector unit, the plate and ejector unit move downstream together while the pistons of the ejector unit descend and tamp material in the apertures, and as the plates, which are adapted to ascend from the belt conveyor, ascend, the pistons maintain the material on the belt conveyor and eject it from the apertures. The ejector unit is disengaged from the plates and returns to its original position.
