Abstract: A filling depositor for ravioli producing machines particularly with thick or chunky fillings comprises a rotary valve assembly connected to the filling tubes, which are fed by a positive displacement gear pump. The rotary valve assembly includes a rotary valve which is driven and synchronized with a gearing of the ravioli machine and includes machined openings in a shaft which match the shape of the ravioli forming die. The shaft is rotated into alignment with the ravioli die to provide the desired filling thorough slots in a housing and appropriate cut-off of the filling operating at a high speed.
