The apparatus is intended for pressing granular food material, for instance cereals having treacle or syrup as binding agent, for the formation of aggregates (13) and comprises: a rotatable cylinder (1) with a peripheral surface; cylindrical holes (2) opening into the peripheral surface; pistons (3) in the holes (2); a mechanism (4) in the cylinder (1) for moving the pistons (3) forward and backward depending on the rotation of the cylinder (1); a feeding device (6) for food material at a part of the periphery of the cylinder (1); drive means for driving the cylinder (1) in a rotational direction (14), and means for pressing material in cavities (5) above the pistons (3), said means comprising a pressing surface (7) which in abutment against the peripheral surface or at a small distance therefrom extends along a part of the periphery of the cylinder (1) and, seen in relation to the rotational direction, after the feeding device (6). <IMAGE> |
