Methods and products related to a baked cereal product having a pre-baked SA content and a post-baked SAG content, wherein the post-baked SAG content is less than about 25% below the pre-baked SAG content.

A system that includes a mould drum having one or more product cavities, a first front end, and a second front end; a forming apparatus, which utilizes the mould drum to form food products from a food mass; a cleaning apparatus, which cleans the mould drum after forming the food products, the cleaning apparatus is remote from the forming apparatus; a movable unit that is configured to transport the mould drum from the forming apparatus to the cleaning apparatus, and vice versa; and a support structure and a spindle, which are reversibly attached to the forming apparatus during production and reversibly attached to the movable unit during the transport of the mould drum.

The present invention relates to a food forming drum comprising a multitude of rows product cavities, each row comprising a multitude of product cavities, wherein the product cavities are provided as one or more at least partially porous members made from a porous material with interconnecting pores. The present invention further relates to a food forming apparatus comprising a food forming drum and a porous member. Additionally, the present invention relates to a movable unit to transport a drum and a method to change a drum or clean the food forming apparatus.

A cutting assembly for cutting an extruded edible material includes an extrusion assembly having a food extrusion port that extrudes an edible material in an extrusion direction. A cutter frame having a cutting edge is positioned proximate the food extrusion port. The cutting edge moves through a cutting region proximate the extrusion port in a cutting motion. First and second servo motors are operably coupled to the cutter frame, wherein the first servo motor operates the cutting edge to define a first component of the cutting motion perpendicular to the extrusion direction. The second servo motor operates the cutting edge to define a second component of the cutting motion generally parallel with the extrusion direction. The first and second servo motors combine the first and second components to define a cutting path and a return path of the cutting edge through the cutting region.

The present invention relates to a food forming drum (1) comprising a multitude of rows (2) of product cavities, each row comprising a multitude of product cavities, wherein the product cavities are provided as one or more at least partially porous members (78) made from a porous material with interconnecting pores. The present invention further relates to a food forming apparatus comprising a food forming drum and a porous member. Additionally, the present invention relates to a movable unit to transport a drum and a method to change a drum or clean the food forming apparatus.

A device for longitudinal cutting and/or stamping of dough strips, wherein the tool-receiving shaft thereof is mounted rotatably with both of its ends in bearing cheeks arranged vertically displaceably in recesses of side panels of the device. The bearing cheeks are vertically adjustable by means of an adjustment screw drive that is arranged in each case on the two anchoring boxes of the clamping lever and that adjusts the cutting depth. The clamping lever is equipped with an anchoring mechanism which is arranged inside its connecting strut and reaches into the anchoring box thereof and which has anchoring elements that can be actuated by means of one-man/one-hand grips arranged on the connecting strut and that are able to engage in the side panels. By means of the screw drives arranged on the protrusions of the anchoring boxes, the receiving shaft and the dough-processing tools arranged on the latter can be fixed at a precise height and operating position to give the respectively desired cutting and/or stamping depth.

The present invention relates to a method and device for pressing at least one dough part, such as a croissant, comprising a conveyor, for conveying dough parts in a direction of movement; at least one press stamp, arranged movable with at least a component in a direction towards a surface of the conveyor for pressing the dough part and wherein the press stamp is further arranged movable with at least a component in the direction of movement of the dough part.

The present invention relates to a system for forming a product from a food mass, the system comprising a mould member, e.g. a mould drum with an axis of rotation and a feed pump.
