Abstract

A mold plate assembly for a patty-forming apparatus includes a reciprocating mold plate (132) having patty-forming cavities (140a, 140b) with at least two rows of cavities aligned in a longitudinal direction, and a fill plate (172) arranged facing the mold plate. The mold plate reciprocates between a cavity fill position and a patty discharge or knock-out position. Fill slots (178) are arranged through the fill plate to fill food product into said mold cavities when the mold plate is in the fill position. According to one embodiment, a valve plate (190) is provided facing the fill plate and having valve openings (216, 218) corresponding to the fill openings of the fill plate. Accordingly to another embodiment, the mold plate assembly includes a fill hole located rearwardly of the cavities. The assembly includes a top fill plate structure (332) arranged facing the mold plate. Outlet slots (335) are arranged through the top fill plate structure to deliver food product into mold cavities when the mold plate is in the fill position.
