Claim:
A molding device for molding three-dimensional products from a first and a second mass of foodstuff suitable for human consumption, the moulding device comprising: a. a mold movable along a path and comprising at least one mold cavity defined by walls and a base, wherein the at least one mold cavity has a cavity volume; b. a first mass-feed component positioned along the path for feeding the first mass of foodstuff into the at least one mold cavity; and c. a second mass-feed component positioned along the path downstream of the first mass-feed component for feeding the second mass of foodstuff into the at least one mold cavity, wherein the base of the at least one mold cavity is adjustable to vary the cavity volume of the at least one mold cavity, wherein the base is movable into: i. a first position when the at least one mold cavity is located along the path at the first mass-feed component; and ii. a second position when the at least one mold cavity is located along the path at the second mass-feed component, wherein the cavity volume of the at least one mold cavity at the second position is greater than the cavity volume of the at least one mold cavity at the first position.
