Device for manufacturing textured portions of food products

摘要

Device for manufacturing portions of food products in pieces, in particular thick fillets of fresh muscle meats, comprising: - at least one pump adapted to deliver a substantially constant flow of food product in pieces; - a tubular distribution conduit connected to the discharge outlet of said pump to receive in its main internal passage the food product leaving the pump and comprising at least one distribution hole; and - cutting and forming means acting on the food product distributed by the outlet orifice of the distribution conduit to form portions of food products, characterized in that said distribution conduit (2, 102, 202, 302, 402, 502) is equipped with a cutting system (3, 103, 4) comprising at least one cutting means (310a, 310b, 320a, 320b, 410, 1310a, 1310b, 1320a, 1320b) that crosses transversely from side to side said internal main passage (23, 123, 423) of the distribution conduit for cutting the food product into at least two layers, so that portions (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6) of textured food product are obtained at the exit of the forming and cutting means (6, 106).
