Abstract
An apparatus for molding spherical bodies from a semisolid stick wherein said semisolid stick is extruded through a nozzle; a sensing unit disposed in front of said nozzle detects it to thereby send a signal to a cutter; said cutter, upon receiving said signal, is actuated to cut said stick in fixed lengths; the sticks thus cut are received in a rotatable mold; and said rotatable mold allows said cut sticks to travel along the inside of a molding passage which comprises the rotatable mold and a fixed mold disposed opposite thereto.
