Abstract

A high-speed forming apparatus for rapidly forming a plurality of food products from a food product mixture or slurry discharged from a nozzle orifice wherein said food products attain a desired shape, e.g., a section of a right cylinder. The device is mountable on the nozzle of a food product forming apparatus and enables a liquid substance to be uniformly directed against each of radially inner and radially outer forming surfaces to envelop them and to aid in the release of the formed food products from the apparatus.
