  • Publication number: 20060051475
    Abstract: The present invention provides a confectionery depositing apparatus that deposits a layer or multiple layers of a flowable confectionery product with a high degree of accuracy. The apparatus includes a source of a flowable confectionery, a cylinder, and a rotary valve in fluid communication with the source of flowable confectionery, and the cylinder. Placement of the rotary valve in a first position permits the flowable confectionery into the cylinder and placement of the rotary valve in a second position permits dispensing of the flowable confectionery from the cylinder out of the apparatus. A piston in close operative engagement with the cylinder enables the apparatus to deposit precise amounts of confectionery product to produce thin uniform layers of confectionery product.
