Abstract
An apparatus and method for quantitatively providing food material, in particular, a low fluid food material is provided. In the apparatus, the material is propelled by propelling means into a space at the bottom of the hopper. In this space, the density of the material is made uniform. The material is then introduced into a chamber. A piston with a receding underside reciprocates in the chamber, and presses the material in the passage of the chamber into a mold opening, and shapes it into a desired form. By ejecting the material from the opening, the same amount of the shaped material is provided.
