Apparatus (1) for enrobing articles (3) with layers of chocolate or chocolate-like mass comprising a conveyor grid (2) extending through the apparatus (1) and adapted for carrying the articles (3) continuously through a transversely extending enrobing curtain (4). A transversely extending flow pan (5) is arranged above the grid (2) and from which the mass is poured as the curtain (4) onto the articles (3). A reservoir tank (6) being open at the top (7) is arranged below the conveyer grid (2) adapted for collecting residual mass (8). A supply conduit (9) for tempered chocolate mass extending to above the flow pan (5) is connected with a tubular depositing means (10) extending transversely above the flow pan (5) having openings (11) at the underside for depositing of mass to the flow pan (5). A screen element (23) is arranged inside the tubular depositing means (10) covering the complete passage for the mass. The mass flows radially out through the screen 23 and particles and inclusions are being maintained inside the tubular screen 23 and are flushed on to the other end 31 of the tubular screen 23. Undesirable inclusions and particles are thereby filtered out of the mass before the mass enters the curtain and enrobes the articles.
