Abstract
A method for application of grated cheese to pizza shells is provided including feeding of cheese to a grating station, intermittent grating of the cheese to produce a predetermined quantity of grated cheese particles in a selected pattern and permitting the particles to freely drop, receiving the grated particles in a plane in the pattern as dropped and then discharging the particles from that plane, along a fixed line while transporting a pizza shell relative to the fixed discharge line in a direction perpendicular thereto to thereby collect the particles in the same specific pattern on the pizza shell. This method enables forming of the particles at a stationary point and to then place those particles in the same pattern on a pizza shell which is continuously moving.
