Abstract
A nozzle permits extrusion of an outer, expanded dough layer having two filler materials co-extruded therewith. An adjusting mechanism is provided for precisely locating two filler injection conduits with a surrounding guide nozzle. A pillow-shaped final product is formed, having an outer layer of expanded dough and two different filler materials.
Claims10
A method of making a light, expanded center filled product comprising the steps of:
- (a) selecting an expansible outer dough material and at least one essentially non-expandable filler material;
- (b) simultaneously introducing said outer dough and filler material to an extrusion nozzle comprising a body receiving a first conduit defining an extrusion orifice for the outer dough and at least one second conduit adjustably disposed within the first conduit and defining an extrusion orifice for the filler material, said extrusion nozzle further including threaded adjustment screws to adjust the axial position of the second conduit with respect to the first conduit,
- (c) adjusting the threaded adjustment screws to position said second conduit within the first conduit whereby said inner material is completely enrobed by the outer dough on extrusion;
- (d) coextruding the outer dough and inner material to produce an extrudate having the filler material completely enrobed by the outer dough;
- and
- (e) severing the extrudate into predetermined lengths.

A method of producing a light expanded center filled product comprising the steps of:
- (a) selecting an expansible outer dough and two essentially non-expansible inner filler materials,
- (b) introducing the outer dough and the inner filler materials to an extrusion nozzle wherein said outer dough is introduced to a first conduit defining an extrusion orifice disposed within a housing and introducing said filler materials to a pair of parallel second conduits adjustably disposed axially within the first conduit defining extrusion orifices for said filler materials, said extrusion nozzle further including threaded adjustment screws in said housing to adjust the axial position of the second conduits with respect to the first conduit;
- (c) adjusting the threaded adjustment screws to position said second conduits within the first conduit whereby said inner filler materials are spaced apart and completely enrobed by the outer dough on extrusion;
- (d) coextruding the outer dough and inner filler materials to produce an extrudate comprising said filler materials enrobed by the outer dough;
- and
- (e) severing the extrudate into predetermined lengths.
