A method and a device for continuously producing articlescomprising two different types of articles from a pasty massare provided. The mass isfed into a processor unitprocessed in a processor unit and transported further. Anadditive is added by a metering unit to the mass. Themixing of the additive is performed by a mixing unit withmixing elements downstream of the processor unit. The massprovided with the additive is molded by a molding unit intoindividual articles downstream of the mixing unit. Themetering of the additive is performed in a sequence ofmetering states with two different metering states. Themetering unit, for a given metering state, meters theadditive to the mass at a given metering rate. This canminimize damage of articles during mixing.
