<p>Readily disassembled and reassembled apparatus for extruding composite food products, especially simulated slab bacon, includes an extrusion assembly comprising a die having a housing within which extend a plurality of individual die conduits from a front wall provided with openings leading into the die conduits. The space surrounding the die conduits within the housing form die passages interleaved with the die conduits. Means are provided for extruding a food material through the front wall openings and through the die conduits into a convergent discharge conduit removably attached to the housing. Separable supply conduits connect a pressure source of supply of a different food material with the housing at opposite sides thereof as well as between such opposite sides. The supply conduits include an elongate manifold conduit extending transversely of the housing, a pair of substantially semi-circular conduit fittings for connecting opposite ends of the manifold conduit with the opposite sides of the housing, respectively, and at least one conduit for connecting the manifold conduit intermediate its ends with the housing between the opposite sides thereof. The die conduits preferably extend in cantilever fashion from individual headers which are clamped together in the assembled apparatus, so one or more of the die conduits can be easily replaced with other die conduits of different shape or shapes. One or more plug means for changing material flow capacity of selected conduit sections is preferably provided.</p> |
