Abstract
A depositor for effecting simultaneous deposition of two different confectionery materials into a mold beneath it to form in the mold a deposit consisting of a center surrounded by shell material, the depositor comprising separate hoppers disposed out of contact with one another and serving respectively for the reception of the two materials, an independently controllable heater associated with each hopper, conduits extending from the hoppers to a nozzle assembly constituted by coaxially disposed inner and outer nozzles disposed beneath the hoppers, and pumping mechanism for discharging material from one hopper through one conduit to the inner nozzle and from the other hopper through the other conduit to the outer nozzle, the inner nozzle being thermally insulated from the surrounding components and having an upper portion which extends above the nozzle assembly to provide a heat-dissipating surface.
