ABSTRACT:
A high speed food patty molding machine capable of handling whole-fiber food products has two food pumps, each pump having a cavity with an inlet at once end, an outlet at the other end, and a plunger movable through the cavity. The two pump cavities are located adjacent to each other and separated by a common wall; a moldable food product is supplied into the inlet of each pump cavity. A manifold connects the outlets of the two pump cavities to a molding mechanism; a pump drive reciprocates the pump plungers in overlapping alternation and a valve seals off the outlet of each pump cavity whenever the plunger of that pump is moving toward its retracted refill position, so that there is a continuous pressurized supply of food product to the molding mechanism. Each pump cavity outlet is located at the juncture of the cavities common separation wall and the discharge end of its cavity. The outlets merge to form a common inlet to center of the manifold. A rotary valve member in the manifold inlet is reciprocally rotated between one operating position in which one pump cavity outlet is closed and the other pump cavity outlet is opened and another operating position in which the pump cavity outlet conditions are reversed. the food product must make a greater change of direction to flow to the portion of the manifold closer to the open outlet than to the portion of the manifold farther away from that outlet.
