Candy-like ingredients, such as are used in baking and candy making, may vary from hard to mushy consistency. The present machine chops and screens them without producing undesirable fine particles. The product is introduced to rotating screened cage at one end. The cage is driven at the opposite end through a tubular drive, with a concentric contra-rotating bladed cutter shaft, the cage being surrounded by an upper casing terminating in discharge chutes, and its screen perforations being cleaned by a rotatable brush which rests on the cage within the top of the casing. A suction fan at the concentric drive end of the cage avoids outflow of chopped particles which might clog the drive mechanism.
