Abstract

A food product press includes a vertically disposed array of interleaved pairs of product carrying shelves and compression shelves, between each pair of which food products, such as hams, may be compressed for processing. The product shelves are fixed and the compression shelves are movable as a group with respect thereto and may be set and held at any desired spacing or with any selected compression of the products. The press is manually operable by a single operator and is readily disassembleable for cleaning or modified use.
