A unit (1) for dosing a confectionery mass includes a base body (2), a dosing chamber (26) for containing a confectionery mass and a rotary piston (3) being reversingly driven to alternatingly fill the dosing chamber (26) with confectionery mass and to remove confectionery mass from the dosing chamber (26). The rotary piston (3) has a filling cycle for filling the dosing chamber (26) with confectionery mass during which it is rotatingly driven in a first direction of rotation (28). The rotary piston (3) has a removing cycle for removing the confectionery mass from the dosing chamber (26) during which it is rotatingly driven in a second direction of rotation (29) being opposite to the first direction of rotation (28). The filling cycle and the removing cycle form one complete working cycle.

An apparatus (1) for dosing a confectionery mass includes a plurality of confectionery mass dosing units (2) being arranged side-by-side. Each of the confectionery mass dosing units (2) includes a locking valve (18), a dosing valve (22) and an outlet opening (26). The outlet opening (26) serves to dispense a dosing quantity of confectionery mass from the confectionery mass dosing unit (2). The dosing valve (22) serves to adjust the dosing quantity. The locking valve (18) being an addition to the dosing valve (22) serves for alternate opening and closing, wherein no confectionery mass exits from the outlet opening (26) when the locking valve (18) is closed.

Described herein is a dispensing assembly (10) for a machine (M) for dispensing cream food products.

The assembly is characterized in that it comprises: a duct unit (2) having a generic tubular shape so as to define a passage for a cream to be dispensed and defining a section for inlet (2A) and a section for dispensing (2B) of the cream; and a first valve (4) and a second valve (6), each constituted by a diaphragm that can be opened under pressure, which are set inside said unit (2) at said dispensing section (2B) and are set at a distance apart from one another so as to identify a chamber (C) between them.

The present invention relates to a leaktight food filling deposition system providing ease of mounting/demounting, maintenance and cleaning. The present invention particularly relates to a deposition system for depositing food fluids of various temperatures, acidities, viscosities and densities onto, between and into the food products, said deposition system being individually operated, requiring no maintenance, having a high deposition capacity, optionally allowing for each nozzle to deposit different materials and comprising low weight deposition nozzles and a low weight manifold.

A metering machine for filling free-flowing media into cavities of a mould that is to be filled is described. The metering machine has at least one independent metering unit which includes two dispensers, with a respective dedicated drive, and a nozzle unit. The nozzle unit is common to the two dispensers.
