Fiber orienting technology for a grinding machine
An apparatus and method for accelerating food product in order to cause the product to be stretched aligning the fibers of the product.
1. An orifice plate for a grinding machine which comprises a multiplicity of grinding apertures; said grinding apertures comprise a sphere intersecting a cylinder, wherein ratio of diameter of said sphere and diameter of said cylinder are of a ratio to create a venturi effect on moldable food product as it passes through said orifice plate.
2. The orifice plate of claim 1 wherein said grinding apertures improve fiber alignment of said moldable food product.
3. The orifice plate of claim 1 wherein said moldable food product is drawn through said grinding apertures of said orifice plate which stretches said moldable food product like a noodle.
4. The orifice plate of claim 1 wherein said venturi effect created by said grinding apertures aligns fiber of said moldable food product through a blade.
5. The orifice plate of claim 1 wherein said moldable food product is stretched and creates a clean cut of said moldable food product.
6. The orifice plate of claim 1 wherein said moldable food product has little or no release of actin and myosin.
7. The orifice plate of claim 1 wherein said grinding apertures create lowest cross section through the moldable food product.
8. The orifice plate of claim 1 wherein said apertures of said grinding orifice plate change size from a larger to a smaller diameter with vertical or concave sides.
