The present invention relates to a texturizing apparatus, configured to texturize a mass of viscoelastic foodstuff material, the apparatus comprising: —an outer member, which defines an interior, extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, —an inner member, which is arranged inside the interior, extending parallel to the longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end. The outer member has an inner surface in the interior that faces an outer surface of the inner member to define a through annular texturizing chamber in between the inner member and the outer member, extending between the first end and the second end. The outer member and the inner member are configured to rotate with respect to each other about the longitudinal axis to subject the foodstuff material in the texturizing chamber to a simple shear flow. The invention is characterized in that the texturizing chamber comprises an upstream chamber segment and a downstream chamber segment, and in that the texturizing apparatus further comprises cooling device, provided at the downstream chamber segment of the texturizing chamber and configured to only cool the downstream chamber segment of the texturizing chamber.

The present invention relates to a foodstuff portioning device (1), configured to portion a slab (100) of foodstuff material into foodstuff products (101), comprising: • - a support surface (10) for supporting the foodstuff material during portioning, • - at least one cutting device (20), each comprising a cutting element (21), configured to cut foodstuff products (101) out of the slab (100) of foodstuff material, • - an actuator device (30), preferably located substantially above the support surface (10). The cutting device (20) is attached to the actuator device (30) and the actuator device (30) is configured to move the cutting device (20) relative to the support surface (10) along a first horizontal axis (Hl) and along a second horizontal axis (H2), perpendicular to the first horizontal axis (Hl). The cutting element (21) of each of the at least one cutting device (20) is rotatable relative a vertical axis (V).

The present invention relates to a food production device, configured to provide texture to a mass of viscoelastic food-stuff material, which comprises an outer member (10), an inner member(21), which is disposed in an interior of the outer member (10) and a lid (22). A texturizing chamber (2) of the device is formed between the outer member (10) and the inner member (21), for receiving and retaining the mass of viscoelastic foodstuff material during use, and the lid (22) is configured to close-off the texturizing chamber (2) from its surroundings. The outer member (10) and the inner member (21) are rotatable with respect to each other to effect a shear stress with the outer member (10) and the inner member (21), which is configured to act onto the foodstuff material in the texturizing chamber (2). The outer member (10) comprises a bottom wall (12) at a bottom end of the outer member (10) and a top end opening at a top end of the outer member. The lid (22) is configured to be mounted at the top end of the outer member (10) to close-off the top end opening.
