The present invention generally provides as improved meat patty forming apparatus (10) and method of operating the same. More particularly, the present invention provides an improved apparatus and method for forming meat patties using a mold plate (38) having multiple rows or groups of patty forming cavities (40). An existing single row forming machine is modified by moving the fill slot (36) relative to the existing stroke length so that the fill slot (36) comes in contact of fluidly communicates with at least one newly added row of cavities (40). This is most easily achieved by modifying the existing fill plate and by adding cavities to the existing mold plate, so that the combination of modified plates operates with the existing stroke length (which is difficult to change), to produce multiple rows of consistent meat patties. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
