Machine for the production of balls of minced meat, fish and such like with a rounded, in particular substantially spherical, shape

摘要

A machine for the production of balls of minced product of meat, fish and such like comprises an extrusion pump (5) of a minced product (3), an apportioning device (40) of the product (3) itself and a sliding support (12) to receive product portions (4) of any shape delivered by said pump (5) through said device (40). A forming plate (13), located above said sliding support (12) at a distance substantially equal to the thickness of said product portions (4), moves in an alternating motion, in a transversal direction to that of the support (12), between two end positions, so that the combination of the motion imparted to said portions (4) by said plate (13) with that imparted by the support (12) imposes on the portions (4) themselves a rotation and translation motion suitable for imparting to said product portions (4) a rounded shape, in particular substantially spherical.
