<p>A press for shaping frozen meat into an elongate block or "log" of uniform cross-section, having a lower die and an upper die movable between a raised retracted position clear of the lower die and a lowered closed position on the lower die, the dies forming a cavity extending lengthwise thereof when the upper die is closed. The upper die carries a plate at its forward end for closing the forward end of the cavity, and a ram is movable in the cavity for compressing frozen meat therein against the plate to form a block of meat, and for ejecting the block of meat on raising the upper die and plate. The block is ejected onto a delivery chute provided with a guard. The dies, plate and chute are readily removable without the use of tools for cleaning.</p> |
