| 摘要 |
<p>A multilane extruder system (10) is provided for forming a pliable mass such as a food dough (12) into a plurality of substantially identical elongated extruded strips (14), and for depositing these strips onto a conveyor (17) for further processing such as cutting into individual strips of selected length. The extruder system (10) comprises an extruder manifold (18) defining a plurality of flow channels having a substantially identical cross sectional size, shape, and length. Each flow channel includes a first segment (44) extending radially outwardly from a central plenum chamber (42), and connecting with a second segment (50) extending generally radially inwardly and terminating in an extrusion die port of selected shape (54). The second channel segments (50) are oriented each at a selected individual angle relative to the radial direction for delivering the extruded strips (14) onto the underlying conveyor (17) in a substantially uniformly and closely spaced relation. .1 41073-SIMPLO PCT APP</p> |
