Process for dispensing fluid foodstuff material into a shaping cavity of a mould

A process for dispensing fluid foodstuff material into a shaping cavity of a mould,

• comprising the steps of:
• advancing a plurality of moulds (M1, M2) on a conveying line (2), along an advancement direction (X), each comprising at least one shaping cavity;
• providing a dispensing machine (4) along said conveying line (2) provided with a formation of nozzles (6;
• 61, 62, 63) comprising at least one line of nozzles arranged along a direction (K) transversal to said advancement direction (X);
• carrying said plurality of moulds (M1, M2) one after another, by means of said conveying line (2), to said nozzle formation (6;
• 61, 62, 63), and
• dispensing a given quantity of said material through one or more nozzles of said at least one line of nozzles, into said at least one shaping cavity of a mould that has reached said nozzle formation,
• said process being characterized in that:
• said dispensing step is executed while said mould continues to advance below said nozzle formation (6;
• 61, 62, 63), along said advancement direction (X),
• said at least one shaping cavity of said mould has a depth that varies along said advancement direction (X);
• said dispensing step comprises varying the given quantity of said material dispensed into said at least one shaping cavity as a function of position of said mould along said advancement direction (X) in such a way that the given quantity of said material dispensed is a function of depth variation within said at least one shaping cavity.
