PURPOSE: To provide an apparatus for the production of a cold food block and usable also for the production of ice candy, by using a pair of die rolls rotating at the same speed and having a pair of mutually corresponding hollows on the outer circumferences, making one of the die roll heatable and furnishing the other roll with a forced discharging means.
CONSTITUTION: A cooled food A is filled in hollow parts 17, 18 of rolls 10, 11 through a filling opening 29 of a filling apparatus 12 and the foods filled in the hollow parts 17, 18 are integrated with each other to form a spherical product B in the course of passing the hollow parts 17, 18 through a closing zone. The roll 10 is heated with a heating fluid 21 to prevent the adhesion of the food A to the wall of the hollow part 17. The product B is pushed out of the hollow part 18 and dropped by contacting a rod 25 with a cylinder 23 and protruding the rod 25 into the hollow part 18.
