<p>A pressing assembly for ham moulds etc. The assembly comprises a flat supporting deck to carry several rows of equally spaced moulds. Each mould base can transmit pressure to the cover of a mould on a similar lower deck via a hole through the deck. As relative vertical movements between a mould and its supporting deck takes place, a vertical guide restricts any sideways movement. Pref. each mould has at least one vertical leg fixed on the underside of the mould base. The leg extends through the hole in the deck and has its lower end fixed to the cover of a mould on the deck below. In this case the leg serves as the vertical guide and sideways movement is restricted by the interior surface of the hole. Each deck pref. has downwardly turned side flanges which have a vertical length greater than that of the leg plus the attached mould cover, i.e. if the assembly is placed ina flat surface each mould rests on the deck with the attached cover suspended clear of the flat surface. A considerable number of moulds can be handled simultaneously throughout a number of operations e.g. moulding, pressing, cooking, demoulding.</p> |
