CONSTITUTION:A chocolate (M) melted under heating in a tank 1 in a thermostatic water bath (A) is passed through a hose (B) heated by electronic control heating method and then fed to a gun unit (C). In this operation, the chocolate (M) fed from the hose (B) regardless of the stop of operation is passed through a return hose (D) kept at a temperature within a desired permissible range and returned always to the tank 1 to circulate the chocolate (M) at all times. Thus, the chocolate (M) fed to nozzles 18 during stop is kept under a given pressure or below without increasing the pressure thereof in the gun unit (C) and hose (B) to an unsuitable value.
