Abstract: An apparatus for applying ingredients to an edible product, comprising a stepwise advancing conveyor band, work stations arranged along the conveyor band and at which there are applied the ingredients. One of the work stations is equipped with a carriage mounted to be displaceable transversely with respect to the conveyor band. The carriage, when in a first terminal position, is located over the conveyor band and, in a second terminal position, adjacent such conveyor band and over a discharge slide or chute of a receiving container for the ingredients. The carriage is provided with a number of individual suction heads which can be switched-on and switched-off. These suction heads engage into the chute in the second terminal position of the carriage.
