The invention relates to a device for processing an edible product in the form a viscous to pasty mass (), especially an edible product based on a fat mass, such as chocolate, or based on water, such as ice cream. Said device comprises a dosing unit () for the dosed delivery of a specific volume of the mass () to shaping units (). The movement of the displacement element () determining the dosage volume is performed via servo drive () while an inlet () and an outlet () are closed and opened via servo drive or pneumatic drive, respectively. Preferably, the displacement element is embodied as a combined lifting/rotating plunger () which can perform a linear movement for a suctioning lift and a dosing lift while being able to perform a rotary movement for opening and closing the inlet () and the outlet (), i.e. a valve function.
