Abstract: For filling cups in a cup conveyor, the cups are interconnected and arranged juxtaposed and thus constitute an endless conveyor belt. A cup at least includes an upwardly facing opening. The apparatus includes a filling station with an adjustable dosing device from which the material is supplied to the cups via a chute system during their passage of the filling station. A new feature of an apparatus and a method according to the invention is that the filling station of the apparatus includes a rotatable dispenser arranged above the cups. The rotatable dispenser includes at least one dosing aperture for dosing material into a cup. The apparatus further includes drive means and means for controlling and regulating the at least one dosing aperture in the rotatable dispenser in relation to the positions of the openings in adjacent cups at the filling station when the apparatus is in operation.
