Abstract
A method of making long ropes of a gelled water-based formed product on a substantially continuous basis by mixing together a thermal-gelling gum and an aqueous product base, filling under pressure a plurality of confining conduits maintained at a temperature below the gelation temperature of the mixture, and controlling the filling of the conduits sequentially to provide a selected static residence time of the mixture in the conduits and to sequentially push the formed product out of the conduits after that time so formed product emerges substantially continuously from the conduits collectively.
