A depositing head for depositing sauces, toppings onto a base, eg a pizza base, comprises a head having a plurality of outlet nozzles 20 therein, a plurality of pegs 23 located inside the head and actuator means 25 enabling the head 3 to be moved relative to the pegs 23 between a first position in which the pegs 23 engage in and close the outlet nozzles 20 (Figure 2) and a second position in which the pegs 23 are disengaged from the outlet nozzles. In the second position an aperture 10 in an inner casing 2, moving with a plate 22 which carries the pegs, allows the sauce to enter the head from pipe 4. A mechanical spreader for spreading the topping over the base (52, Figure 4) comprises a spreader head consisting of a plurality of spreader assemblies which are mounted on a support rod, each spreader assembly being independently pivotable up and down on the support rod so as to be able to follow the surface contours of a base as the spreader head is rotated relative to the surface thereof. <IMAGE> |
