Compression molded feed of fibrous vegetables having curled outer surfaces, and a molding machine for molding the feed. The feed consists of compression molded fibrous vegetables (21) which have outer surfaces (31) formed by entangling curled fibers, and a core (32) formed by entangling linear fibers which are not curled. The molding machine consists of a molding cylinder (1) for charging the fibrous vegetables (21), an auxiliary plunger (6) incorporating a plunger (11) and a hydraulic jack (9) for actuating the plunger (11), the auxiliary a plunger being slidably telescoped within the cylinder (1) by a hydraulic cylinder (4), and cutting blades (3) inserted into the side of the cylinder (1). The compression molded feed is fabricated by the steps of charging the fibrous vegetables (21) into the cylinder (1), making incisions of predetermined length in the vegetables (21) using the cutting blades (3), inserting the auxiliary plunger (6) into the cylinder (1) while causing the plunger (11) to protrude, compressing the fibrous vegetables (21) while curling the outer surfaces (31) of the vegetables (21), then inserting the plunger (11) into the auxiliary plunger (6), and then finally compressing the vegetables (21). |
