Abstract
A machine for moulding mouldable products, preferably foodstuff masses. A piston is slidable in a piston passage of a housing and a moulding tool defining a moulding cavity is slidable in a moulding tool passage of the housing. The piston and moulding tool are coupled to a common rotary drive disc for reciprocation such that when the moulding tool is in a first position, the piston pumps the mouldable product into the moulding cavity, compacting the product to a desired consistency, and when the moulding tool is in a second position, the mouldable product compacted in the moulding cavity is discharged from the machine.
