A chain mold comprises a supporting construction which is constituted by two shoulders (2,3) supporting an upper shaft (7) and axle (5) and a bottom shaft (6) and axle (4), all having horizontal parallel rotary axes, and on each of which is mounted a gear wheel (8,9,12,13), on the upper gear wheels (8,12) being entrained an upper chain (14), whereas on the bottom gear wheels (9,13) is entrained a bottom chain (27). The two chains have chain links which are mutually faced along a vertical intermediate plane and sequentially define dihedrical shape articles. The articles arranged on the bottom chain (27) are provided with a cutting edge for cutting the food product bead. Each link of the upper chain (14) slidably supports, along the dihedral shape articles, a pair of controllably movable half-molds, which can be mutually moved toward or away from a corresponding pair of half-molds supported by the opposite link in order to form a piece of food product from a food product bead supplied along the intermediate plane. The length of the mold is an essential parameter for assuring a proper configuration of the product. The mold is moreover provided with operating systems for adjusting the spacing of the aligned half-molds and in order to properly cut the food product bead. <IMAGE> |
