PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molding apparatus suitable for mass production and capable of spherically molding seafood cake raw ingredients more efficiently than ever without burdening a transport/drive system or entailing product morphological quality deteriorations.SOLUTION: In a molding apparatus for spherically molding, on the transport route of seafood cake raw ingredients, raw ingredient lumps conveyed atop a belt conveyer while being distributed thereon at a specified interval sequentially at a fixed quantity each set in advance, a molding unit possessing one or more molding molds for stopping and turning over the raw ingredient lamps on the transport path; a drive unit possessing a lift mechanism for inducing the ascent and descent of the molding unit and a reciprocal mobilization mechanism for reciprocally mobilizing the molding unit; and a raw ingredient lump detection unit are furnished. The drive unit induces the descent of the molding mold by driving the lift mechanism and the reciprocal mobilization mechanism so as to induce, interlockedly with the descent, a forward movement along the opposite direction of the transport direction and, simultaneously with the ascent thereof, a backward movement to a retreat position. Cycles of spherically molding raw ingredient lumps are continuously invoked by repeating the foregoing series of actions. |
