Abstract: A system for automatically dispensing metered amounts of viscous product in assembly-line fashion into each of a series of containers, wherein the temperature of the product is maintained within a preselected range along its path of flow. Structure is provided for substantially reducing product leakage along the path of flow, including a pneumatically actuated shut-off valve which operates in the nozzle in synchronism with each piston stroke. Structure is also provided for precisely adjusting the individual piston strokes.
