This disclosure relates to a pickup and enrobing apparatus which will pick up stick-type novelties from a transporting conveyor which carries the novelties in a horizontal position. The apparatus includes a pickup conveyor which has a plurality of pivotally mounted clamps which grip the novelty sticks so that the novelties can be removed from the transporting conveyor. The pickup conveyor carries the novelties through an enrobing process, and the enrobed novelties are then passed through a chiller where the coating is hardened. The novelties are released from the pickup conveyor as the conveyor emerges from the chiller unit and are concurrently subjected to an airstream so that they will fall to an output conveyor with their sticks oriented in the same direction.
