<p>An apparatus for handling dough and other viscous materials comprises a support having a suction tube which opens into a container for the viscous mass, e.g. dough to be portioned for use in a bakery. A movable member, e.g. a slide or turntable, is disposed on the support and is shiftable from a position in which its cylinder communicates with the duct and into a position remote from the duct in which the cylinder is adapted to deposit the viscous material. The cylinder is provided with a piston which draws a portion of the material from the duct into the cylinder, this portion being carried along with the cylinder to its remote location in which operation of the piston is reversed to dispense the portion of the material.</p> |
