Zusammenfassung:A pumping and slicing apparatus and method with a pump that pumps fluent food product material through a flow divider and into multiple tubes that restrict the flow of material to remove voids. The food product is extruded through an orifice and sliced, such as in a pendulum-slicing machine. The flow restrictions are formed by the orifices being flow-restrictive, by tapering the tubing from the pump to the orifice, or by interposing bodies, such as a plurality of pins, in the tubing to displace the food product. The flow restrictions remove unwanted voids in the food product, resulting in consistent food slices.
