Abstract
An apparatus and method for manufacturing a novelty sealed food product having a complex shape. The apparatus including an anvil plate and an ultrasonic horn that seals a filling within a pair of food substrates with an ultrasonic vibration and without a sealing additive, such as a carbohydrate or a hydrocolloid.
Claims17
A method of manufacture of a sealed food product comprising the steps of:
- placing a lower food substrate on a support surface;
- applying at least one filling component to an upper surface of the lower substrate;
- positioning an upper food substrate over the lower food substrate and the filling component;
- lowering an ultrasonic horn to crimp the upper food substrate and the lower food substrate along a predetermined perimeter to contain the filling component;
- energizing the ultrasonic horn to form a seal through ultrasonic vibration;
- raising the ultrasonic horn to expose the sealed food product.

A method of manufacture of a sealed food product comprising the steps of:
- providing a lower bread portion;
- applying at least one filling component to the lower bread portion;
- positioning an upper bread portion over the lower bread portion and the at least one filling component;
- lowering a cavity of an ultrasonic horn over the upper bread portion and the lower bread portion to contain the filling along a perimeter;
- and
- energize the ultrasonic horn to seal the lower bread portion to the upper bread portion and create the sealed food product.
3 more elements
An apparatus for manufacturing a sealed food product comprising:
- a support surface for receiving a lower food substrate;
- a filler for providing at least one filling component to the lower food substrate;
- a carrier for positioning an upper food substrate over the lower food substrate;
- and
- an ultrasonic horn including a perimeter and a cavity, wherein the perimeter imparts a sealed edge to the lower food substrate and the upper food substrate and the cavity accommodates at least a portion of the lower food substrate, the filling component and the upper food substrate.
