| 摘要 |
An apparatus (10) for forming paste-like materials into discrete product units, comprising an elongate, open ended tube (11) of substantially constant internal cross-sectional shape, an inlet port (37) through the wall of the tube intermediate its ends to allow the entry of the paste-like material into the interior of the tube, first and second piston members (12, 13) spaced apart in axial alignment and adapted to be moved together relative to the tube between a position in which the space between them is effectively external of the tube and a position in which that space is completely within the tube and in communication with the inlet port therein. A method for forming paste-like materials into discrete product units using the apparatus (10) is also disclosed. |
