Title:
CASINGLESS FOOD PRODUCTION METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND ASSOCIATED WRAPPABLE COVERINGS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004019697
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and associated devices for casingless production of food products include: (a) moving at least one flexible cover member (5) having a predetermined length with primary surface and opposing lateral edge portions (5e) along a predetermined travel path; (b) introducing a flowable food emulsion onto the primary surface of the flexible cover member (5); (c) wrapping the at least one flexible cover member (5) about the food emulsion during the moving step; (d) advancing the wrapped emulsion into at least one forming tube (15) having sufficient structural rigidity to be substantially non-deformable and having a preformed internal cavity space of predetermined size and shape; and (e) exposing the wrapped emulsion to predetermined processing conditions that convert the flowable emulsion to a non-flowable food product having substantially the molded shape of the forming tube (15) as the wrapped emulsion advances through the at least one forming tube (15).
