ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for depositing a viscous flowable mass to coat or decorate the surface of a product. The apparatus has a linearly moveable manifold assembly with at least one nozzle for depositing the viscous material on the surface of a product passing beneath the nozzle, a counterbalance eccentric drive system, and a linear motion assembly connected to the drive system and manifold assembly. At least one of the assembly and nozzle is heat traced and controlled so as to maintain the temperature of the viscous material in a range such that the material is flowable. By changing at least one of (a) the speed of the moving manifold assembly, (b) the speed of the product under the nozzle, and (c) the stroke length, the product surface can be ornamented in a variety of ways. The apparatus is particularly useful for decorating a food product with icing.
