the specification discloses a system and process for producing discrete chilled products having preselected weights from a semi - fluid mixture . the semi - fluid mixture is pumped along a distribution path to an extrusion manifold which extrudes a continuous sheet of the mixture . the continuous sheet is directed through a chilling station where it is chilled and firmed such that the sheet maintains its extruded cross - sectional configuration . a plurality of slicers continuously slice the continuous sheet of material into continuous lengths . a cutter periodically severs the continuous lengths at predetermined intervals to provide a plurality of discrete products having predetermined weights . the pumping rate , rate of travel through the freezer and periodic severing of the continuous lengths may be selectively varied in order to maintain any desired weight of the discrete products . in an alternative embodiment , the continuous sheet of material is divided into discrete products by stamping the sheet with a plurality of cutters . in another embodiment , a rotatable cutting drum , having a pluraity of equally spaced circumferential slicing disks and equally spaced longitudinal blades , severs the continuous sheet of material into discrete products .
