An apparatus for producing units fit for packing, preferably of a cheese product of the type cheese-base, is adapted to be connected to a cheese-base production system from which the cheese-base is pressed out in a continuous flow. The apparatus comprises an accumulating pipe connectable to the discharge pipe of the cheese-base production system. This accumulation pipe expands in the flow direction and ends in a cylindrical pipe section of a first greater sectional area. Subsequently, the cylindrical pipe section of the accumulating pipe is connected to a cylindrical extrusion pipe of a second smaller sectional area. At the discharge end of the extrusion pipe, a cutting device is provided for cutting desired lengths of the extrudate. This apparatus allows production of cheese-base units in a suitable size fit for further handling and transport.
