A lower slice (T1) is placed horizontally on a removable base (300). The filling (F) is deposited onto it and the second slice is located above, in vertical alignment with the lower slice. Simultaneously, edges of the slices are sealed together, forming a domed top using a molding tool. A lower slice (T1) is placed horizontally on a removable base (300). The filling (F) is deposited onto it and the second slice is located above, in vertical alignment with the lower slice. Simultaneously, edges of the slices are sealed together, forming a domed top using a molding tool. The tool is a recessed (110) piston (1). It faces the base and is covered by a flexible, elastic membrane (2). This is normally horizontal and flat. The piston is lowered, compressing and sealing the edges together. At the same time the membrane is deformed into contact with the recess wall, doming the product top. On piston retraction the membrane returns to the original shape. The base is removed and the product is ejected. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding equipment and also a corresponding production plant. |
