摘要:
A shaping assembly (14) for producing a discrete spiral shaped food product includes a die that defines at least one aperture (28) that is centered on an aperture axis (40). The at least one aperture (28) extends to an aperture exit (32) and allows for the movement of a stream of food mass through the aperture (28) and out the aperture exit (32). A shaping tool (36) includes at least one slicing blade (38) that is disposed over at least a portion of the aperture exit (32) to slice the stream of food mass into a plurality of food mass portions. A coupling arrangement engages the shaping tool (36) to facilitate rotation of the slicing blade (38) to spin the plurality of food mass portions into a spiral shaped stream of food mass. The slicing blade (38) simultaneously slices and spins the stream of food mass to create the spiral shaped stream of food mass. A crimper is used to cut the spiral shaped stream of food mass into the discrete spiral shaped food products.
