Abstract
The invention relates to a device for processing an edible product in the form of a viscous to pasty mass, in particular, an edible product based on a fatty mass, such as chocolate, or based on water, such as ice cream. Said device comprises dosing units (D, D) for the dosed supply of a specific volume of the mass to a bearing surface. Said dosing units (D, D) comprise, respectively, a dosing piston () which is mounted in a piston chamber, whereby the dosing piston () moves at least in a rotational manner about the piston axis thereof (A). A first plurality of dosing units (D) are arranged on a first plane, and a second plurality of dosing units (D) are arranged on a second plane. The dosing piston () of the dosing units (D), which are arranged on the first plane (D), are rotationally driven by means of a first drive element (), and the dosing piston () of the dosing units (D), which are arranged on the second plane, are rotationally driven by means of a second drive element ().
