Abstract: |
A reconstituted pimiento strip useful for stuffing olives using automatic equipment is prepared by employing a forming apparatus comprising a pair of opposed, continuous belts, the lower belt being recessed on its mating surface to define a trough into which a mixture of pimiento and binder is introduced. The orientation of the belts relative the horizontal is such that both belts dip into a calcium chloride setting bath at a point intermediate their ends. The apparatus further includes discharge nozzle means to introduce the pimiento/binder mix onto the recessed area of the lower belt, the leading nip between the upper and lower belts being downstream of said nozzle means.

First Claim:
Show all 5 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. Apparatus for making reconstituted pimiento in strip form useful for stuffing olives comprising
- mixing means for producing a mix of a pimiento base and a binder;
- nozzle means adapted to receive said mix from the mixing means and to extrude the same at the approximate dimensions desired of said strip;
- a lower longitudinally extending, continuous forming belt adjacent said nozzle means adapted to receive said mix from the nozzle means having an axial, longitudinally extending recessed are of substantially uniform dimension and said approximate dimensions;
- means supporting said belt to provide a substantially flat belt upper run at a slight angle relative the horizontal thereby having a lower end and an upper end slightly higher in elevation than the lower end;
- first tank means maintaining a bath setting solution at a level to immerse said belt lower end in said bath;
- an upper continuous belt;
- means supporting said upper belt in mating contact with the lower belt upper run to establish a closed forming trough for said pimiento base mix, the upper belt also having a lower end immersed in said bath;
- the leading point of contact between the upper and lower belts being intermediate the point of immersion of the upper and lower belts, said bath and the nozzle means.
