First Claim
1. System for moulding three-dimensional products from a mass of one or more food starting materials which are suitable for consumption, which system comprises:
- a production device having;
a frame, a mould member provided with at least one mould cavity, the frame supporting the mould member, mass feed means for feeding the mass to the one or more mould cavities of the mould member, the mould member comprising a mould drum which is rotatable with respect to the frame about an associated axis of rotation, which mould drum is provided with one or more mould cavities, which mould cavities each have an opening in at least one drum surface, the mass feed means comprising one or more mass feed members disposed along a drum surface, and the mould drum comprising an outer drum which is made at least partially from material with a porous structure, in such a manner that a mould cavity has a mould cavity wall which is at least partially porous, and an inner member also being provided, which inner member fits into the outer drum, the inner member, preferably together with the adjoining surface of the outer drum, forming one or more passages which extend from one head-end of the mould drum, so that a medium can be forced through the porous mould cavity wall and/or suction can take place via a passage of this type.

Abstract
A system for moulding three-dimensional products from a mass of one or more food starting materials which are suitable for consumption, in particular human consumption, which system comprises: -a production device having: -a frame, -a mould member provided with at least one mould cavity, the frame supporting the mould member, -mass feed means for feeding the mass to the one or more mould cavities of the mould member, the system furthermore comprising at least one cleaning device for cleaning one or more parts of the production device which come into contact with the mass. The mould member is preferably removable from the frame. Furthermore, the system preferably comprises a storage device for storing a plurality of mould members. It is preferable for each removable mould member to be provided with an identification, the system comprising recognition means for recognizing the identification of a mould member. Furthermore, the system preferably comprises a memory for storing at least one history of a mould member.
