Systems to Fabricate Food Aggregate from Food Elements and Related Methods

Номер: US20220061374A1
Принадлежит:

Techniques described include methods, systems, products, devices, and/or apparatuses related to food processing systems related methods, and food items produced therewith. For example, the food processing system may be configured to fabricate food aggregates from multiple food elements. The food processing system includes a first press body and a second press body. The second press body is positioned and oriented opposite to the first press body and reconfigurable from a first configuration to a second, non-planar configuration. The second, non-planar configuration of the press body is different from the first configuration. At least one of the first or second press bodies is movable in a manner that decreases space between the first and second press bodies, to compress the food elements and form the food aggregate. A dispenser of the food elements is positioned and configured to dispense the food elements between the first and second press bodies.
