Ultrasonic rotary molding

A system for forming an edible food product comprising:

• a rotary wheel comprising a plurality of cutting tools disposed on an outer surface of the rotary wheel, each cutting tool has a side wall and at least one beveled edge, wherein the at least one bevel edge is a cutting edge that is not perpendicular to the side wall of the cutting tool;
• a conveyer comprising a surface, the conveyer configured to move a food product on its surface;
• and
• a vertically movable backing plate under the surface of the conveying element;
• wherein each cutting tool has at least one edge having a first bevel and a second bevel, wherein the first and second bevels have different angles relative to the side wall of the cutting tool;
• wherein the movable backing plate is configured to move its position when the cutting tool comes into contact with the conveyor belt and cutting edges of the tools exert pressure downward upon the conveyer;
• wherein the system is configured to rotate the rotary wheel such that each of the plurality of cutting tools contacts the food product when the food product is positioned above the movable backing plate further comprising a flexible fin, wherein the flexible fin is configured to exert a force upward against the vertically movable backing plate.
