See full text

A system for forming a product. The system includes a hopper with a rotating feeder; a mold drum with cavities; and a feed pump with a moving member. The feed pump is configured to pump food mass from the hopper into the cavities. The system has means configured to determine: a position and a motion of the mold drum relative to a frame of the system; a position and a motion of the moving member of the feed pump relative to a housing of the feed pump; and a position and a motion of the rotating feeder relative to the hopper to synchronize the motion of the mold drum and the motion of the moving member of the feed pump and to synchronize the motion of the rotating feeder with the motion of the moving member of the feed pump. The system has at least two pressure sensors.
