摘要

The machine consists of a feed hopper (1) through which the ground and mixed product which contains surimi enters, in which hopper there is a feed screw (2) which directs the product towards a pressure chamber (5) from which it is conveyed under pressure to a moulding drum (6) consisting of a rotating hollow cylinder which has on its surface at least one sintered plate (7) on which a series of microporous moulds (8) are defined in which the contour and the details of shape and texture of an anchovy fillet have been reproduced, in which the product is deposited for its moulding. Air under pressure and anti-adherent liquid (10) are injected through the pores of the moulds (8) to push the moulded products towards a conveyor belt (11).
