Apparatus for producing a curled food product by extruding gelatinous cereal grain meal includes a mechanism for adjusting the extrusion space between two complimentary frustroconically shaped die surfaces of die extrusion members. One die member is maintained in an axially or longitudinally stationary position while the other die member is moved axially or longitudinally with respect to the stationary member. As a result, the space between the complimentary die surfaces may be adjusted to control the cereal grain extrusion process. Adjusting the extrusion die includes longitudinally adjusting a second frustroconically shaped die surface in face-to-face relation with a first complimentary and frustroconicaly shaped die surface in order to adjust the separation space therebetween. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is embodied in an improved extruder apparatus for a curled food product manufacturing machine comprising means for changing cereal grain into gelatinous material and for extruding it from a space between a first frustroconical or curvilinear die surface of a first axially or longitudinally stationary die member and a complimentary second frustroconical or curvilinear die surface of a second die member, and adjustment means for moving the die surface of the second die member axially or longitudinally with respect to the axial or longitudinal stationarily positioned first die member.
The first and second complimentary shaped die surface members are preferably in face-to-face relation in the flow of gelatinous material, and one die surface member is preferably moved axially or longitudinally with respect to the other axial or longitudinal stationary die surface member to adjust the annular space between the die surfaces.
The invention can be more fully appreciated from the following brief description of the drawings, description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, and appended claims.
