<p>A method and apparatus for forming a cake from a sticky confectionery material characterised in that the sticky confectionery material is transported on an endless conveyor adapted to run intermittently, to a position beneath at least one vertically disposed hollow cylinder whose wall is tapered at its lower end and inside which is a piston, at which position the cylinder descends and cuts through the sticky material until its lower edge contacts the endless conveyor, then the piston descends to compress the sticky material to form the cake, after which the cylinder and piston ascend together carrying with them the formed cake, and finally the piston redescends to press out and release the formed cake which is transported away from the endless conveyor.</p> |
